BIG STORY OF THE DAY
ChatGPT rolls out ‘Custom Instructions’ that lets you create your own agent
Brief: OpenAI just released a "Custom Instructions" update, which gives you more control over responses by setting instructions for it to remember across multiple conversations.
The massive update directly responds to critics who say that ChatGPT-4 has been getting 'dumber' and losing its ability to follow threads.
*It also lets you set prompts to override safety and morality filters - not that we’re condoning that sort of thing.
“Right now, if you open up ChatGPT,” says Joanne Jang, who works on model behaviors and product at OpenAI, “it doesn’t know much about you. If you start a new thread, it forgets everything you’ve talked about in the past. But there are things that might apply across all conversations.”
Details:
To enable click on the three dots next to your email on the bottom left of the screen > Settings > Beta features > Toggle on “Custom Instructions”
Beta is available to Plus users (except for the EU and UK) and is on deck to be replaced to free users within the coming months
The update comes 11 days after the release of “Code Interpreter”
What’s Next: This update aims to create internal datasets so ChatGPT can get to know you and, more importantly, remember you. This will help you create a virtual assistant to pluck information from every thread in real-time, allowing for a more customized response set.
Get in there and start building.

{PROMPT} TUTORIAL
How to future-proof your kids with AI
This prompt provides a guide for parents looking to future-proof their children's education. By focusing on AI literacy, you'll discover ways to incorporate this critical skill into their learning journey at an age-appropriate level.
The Prompt:
Here’s what mine looks like. Customize as needed
As a parent of three children, aged 8 and 5 year old twins, I want them to be AI-literate. They already use computers, smartphones and tablets for games and school work but don't have a deep understanding of AI. I can dedicate about an hour each day to facilitate their AI learning and am willing to invest in reasonably priced educational resources or courses. They learn best through interactive experiences rather than passively reading or watching videos. My goal is for them to understand the basics of AI, spark their interest in technology, and prepare them for the future job market. What resources or learning paths would you recommend to effectively introduce AI to my kids considering these factors?
Tool: ChatGPT-4
