Your first "Custom GPT": a personalised assistant in 10 minutes — companion videos

The article walks you through building your first Custom GPT in ten minutes — pick a job, write the instructions, upload a couple of reference documents, save, share. These two videos give you the visual version: a popular creator's GPT-building walkthrough, and the original deep-dive from the OpenAI team that built the feature.

GPTs Are Here: The Best Ones & How to Make Them

Matt Wolfe

Matt Wolfe builds a GPT live on screen and then reviews a handful of real, useful ones (SimpsonizeMe, ConvertAnything, Grimoire). The build-from-scratch section is the closest thing on YouTube to the article's "ten minutes from blank to working assistant" framing, and the second half shows what good GPTs actually look like once they exist.

What you should get from this: You can build your first Custom GPT end to end and judge which existing GPTs are actually worth adding to your toolkit.

Watch or know first: A ChatGPT plan that includes Custom GPTs, and one small job in mind for your first build.
