ChatGPT project template built on the “Train My AI Assistant” onboarding prompt
Hello community, I distilled the onboarding prompt from the AI Advantage Jumpstart Playbook into project instructions for ChatGPT. I hope you find this useful! I think that the projects are the most powerful tools in ChatGPT and I use them all the time. ChatGPT Projects are dedicated workspaces that keep related chats, files, instructions, and context together so you can continue longer-running work without re-explaining everything each time. The core building blocks of a project are: - Chats: the conversations that live inside the project and carry its working context. - Sources/files: uploaded reference material and other project sources, including files, pasted text, supported app links, and saved responses. - Project instructions: project-specific guidance that shapes how ChatGPT responds within that project and can override your global custom instructions there. How to use this: Create a new ChatGPT project and add the project instructions below. Make sure to fill out your personal information in [square brackets]. You may add some project files for further context. For example: extended personal profile and goals, repetitive tasks inventory, tool stack and access map, workflow library, Decision criteria / KPI memo etc. This project can grow over time and while you won't need project files in the beginning you might want to add further information that exceeds the 8000 character limit of the project instructions over time. I would recommend to always use project-only memory to keep all project-related information in one place. ATTENTION: You can only set project only memory once. When you create a new project you have to click the options-icon and set it there. You can't change this setting later. I would also recommend to keep all chats in this project career- or personal development related and not to conflate it with other topics. Projects are most useful when they hold one ongoing body of work with shared files, instructions, and history.
