Custom Instructions Setup
ChatGPT's Custom Instructions let you tell it who you are and how you want it to respond — once, so every conversation starts on the right foot.
This wizard takes about 3 minutes. At the end you'll get two blocks of text to paste directly into ChatGPT.
Step 1 of 5
Tell ChatGPT about yourself
What do you do? A sentence or two helps ChatGPT give you relevant, grounded answers.
Step 2 of 5
What do you mainly use ChatGPT for?
Pick everything that applies. This helps ChatGPT stay focused on what actually matters to you.
Step 3 of 5
How should ChatGPT respond?
Step 4 of 5
Anything ChatGPT should avoid?
Optional but useful. Common things people ask ChatGPT to skip.
Step 5 of 5
Anything else ChatGPT should know? (optional)
Add any other context — your location, industry quirks, communication preferences, or anything that makes your situation unique.
