ChatGPT has introduced a new feature called Custom Instructions, which allows users to customize the AI’s response to their prompts. In this article, we will explore how to enable and use this feature.
Before we dive into the details, let me introduce you to Your Everyday AI.

To enable Custom Instructions, follow these steps:
- Go to your settings.
- Navigate to the beta features section.
- Turn on the Custom Instructions feature.
Once enabled, you will see a prompt to set your custom instructions. If you miss the prompt, don’t worry. Simply click on your name and go to custom instructions.
Now, let’s try it out! Start a new chat and see how ChatGPT responds to your prompts. You can provide thought starters or even describe your writing style to get personalized responses.
While this feature is useful for certain scenarios, there is one limitation. Currently, there is no easy way to toggle Custom Instructions on and off for different chats. This means that all chats will be written in your voice, which may not be ideal for professional or specific purposes. I hope OpenAI adds this feature in the future.
In conclusion, Custom Instructions is a great feature for users who want ChatGPT to respond in their own voice. However, for those who require different writing styles for different purposes, there are limitations. Nonetheless, it’s worth exploring and experimenting with this feature to see how it can enhance your interactions with ChatGPT.
