I made a GPT...

It was surprisingly easy. Here's one that can help you plan and write a non-fiction personal development or business book.

I have been playing with AI for a little while now - learning about how to create “prompts” (instructions to the AI), “protocols” (quite long instructions to AI with multiple steps that are more like a programme) and more recently “GPTs” (individual applications that make use of ChatGPT specifically for a particular purpose - in this case for the purpose of planning and/or helping to write a non-fiction business or personal development book.

You can find what I created here.

GPTs up the game by being capable of being trained on documents, web pages, videos that you put together - as well as their implicit learning. They are a phenomenal tool and the right, specialised, thoughtful GPTs could really be very powerful indeed.

By contrast however - since they are deliberately put together by human creators and the prompts behind them are hidden- there’s a fair bit of scope for deliberate manipulation - users could create the tool to deliberately mislead, or promote particular products in answer to a question without the user knowing.

My little GPT doesn’t do any of that. It can however help you think up a title for a non-fiction business or personal development book, to plan out the chapters, set out a description and even write a first draft of it for you.

To make any book your own you’re going to have to play with the results - but using the GPT means that you don’t need to think of the prompts yourself.

Please do see what you think and if you’d like to learn more about making GPTs like this one please do drop me a line and I’ll set out the process step by step

NOTE - it helps to first understand how to speak to the AI to get consistent results. Please do let me know what you think - will you be creating any GPTs yourself? And how do you find this one? (I should have said - it is completely free to use).
