Our three latest blog posts
BirchGPTs
The release of custom GPTs by OpenAI last November has empowered people and companies, from start-ups to global corporations, to create their own bespoke generative AI solutions. A custom GPT essentially lets you channel the power and expertise of ChatGPT in a really focused way, for example accessing career advice, or revising for an exam. They can be especially useful as a 'helper' for repetitive or complex tasks.
What's great about the user interface for creating GPTs is how easy they are to use. No prior knowledge of generative AI is necessary. You can simply say what you want to create and ChatGPT writes the prompts itself. The GPTs can optionally be customised afterwards to refine the focus. However, this is not absolutely necessary as they are ready to use straight away. ChatGPT even automatically generates a name and an icon for your GPT. Starting this week, you will also be able to showcase your GPTs in the "GPT Store".
Below you can see some examples of the GPTs that the 55BirchStreet team has been creating, to learn, to increase efficiency and in some cases just to have fun. If you have a ChatGPT Plus account, you can already try them out or start creating your own GPTs right away.
