Create Your OWN GPT: Easy ChatGPT Tutorial

This article is all about making your own custom GPT. It’s a simple guide to help you get started with creating a personalized AI tool. We’ll walk through the steps, from naming your GPT to making it accessible whenever you need it. It’s easier than you think to have your very own AI assistant ready to go.

What is a Custom GPT?

A custom GPT is like your own special version of ChatGPT. You can set it up to do specific things or have certain information ready. Think of it as tailoring the AI to fit exactly what you need, whether it’s for work, a hobby, or just for fun.

How to Create Your Own GPT

Making your own GPT is pretty straightforward. Here’s a quick rundown of the steps:

  1. Go to the GPTs Section: On the left side of your ChatGPT screen, you’ll see a "GPTs" option. Click on that.
  2. Start Creating: You’ll see other public GPTs there, but you want to make your own. Look for the "Create" button and click it.
  3. Configure Your GPT:
    • Click on "Configure."
    • Name It: Give your GPT a name. Pick something that makes sense for what it will do.
    • Add a Description: Write a short description so you know what your GPT is for.
    • Add an Image: You can even add a picture to make it stand out.
  4. Finish Up: Once you’ve named it and added a description (and maybe an image), just click "Create" again.

That’s it! Your custom GPT is now ready to use.

Accessing Your Custom GPT

Once you’ve made your GPT, it’s always there for you. You can find it on the left side of your ChatGPT interface. It’s private, so only you can use it. This means you have a personalized AI tool at your fingertips, ready whenever you need it.

Key Takeaways

  • Creating a custom GPT is a simple process.
  • You can name your GPT, add a description, and even an image.
  • Your custom GPT will be private and always available on your ChatGPT dashboard.

Making your own GPT is a great way to personalize your AI experience. It’s easy to do and gives you a powerful tool tailored to your needs. Give it a try!

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
