A short YouTube tutorial arguing that custom instructions are the most powerful ChatGPT feature since launch and essential for regular, important use. The speaker explains that custom instructions let users provide personal and professional preferences (e.g., business name/location) so ChatGPT can produce higher-quality, context-aware responses; the video also suggests advanced uses (defining persistent characters) and directs viewers to a longer guide on the creator’s channel.

Custom Instructions this is the most powerful feature that was added to ChatGPT since its release. But does everyone actually need them? Spoiler alert. If you're using ChatGPT for something actually important regularly, you'd be a fool not to use these at all. Alright, so custom instructions are a new feature that lets you add personal and professional preferences to ChatGPT when generating responses. When you use them correctly, it's like visiting your house doctor that already knows you and all your relevant details. This this Powerful feature transforms ChatGPT and gives you higher quality responses as opposed to simple prompts. For example, if you're a business owner, you can set your business details such as name and location in the custom instructions and ChatGPT will consider them every time they become relevant. But that really just scratches the surface. You could specify a full character that has a specific way of solving specific problems, but that goes beyond the scope of this little video. Try it out. It's available to everybody now, and if you want to learn more, you can find a full guide on my YouTube.
