ChatGPT Offers ‘Custom Instructions’ Feature to All Users
OpenAI has announced that it will extend the “custom instructions” feature to all ChatGPT users, including users of the free tier of the service.
This feature gives users more control over how ChatGPT responds, TechCrunch reported.
The “Custom Instructions” feature was first introduced last month as a beta version for ChatGPT Plus subscribers, allowing them to add settings and requirements they want the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot to consider when responding.
The feature helps users save time by not having to retype the same instructions every time they interact with the AI chatbot.
Users can edit or remove custom instructions at any time for new conversations.
Additionally, user instructions are not shared with viewers of shared links.
If users delete their OpenAI accounts, the custom instructions associated with their accounts will also be deleted within 30 days.
Last week, Logan Kilpatrick, OpenAI’s first developer advocate and developer relations specialist, presented a “huge set of updates to ChatGPT.”
New features that Kilpatrick highlighted were sample prompts, suggested answers and follow-up questions, a default GPT-4 setting that remembers Plus users’ previously selected template whenever they start a new conversation, support for uploading multiple files for Plus users when OpenAI Code Interpreter – extension and much more.
Last month, OpenAI had disabled the Browse with Bing beta feature on ChatGPT that was available to Plus subscribers.
This feature allowed ChatGPT to search the Internet to answer questions that benefit from recent information.
