After initially launching for paid ChatGPT users, “Custom Instructions” are now accessible to users on the free plan.

Custom Instructions empower users to tailor their interactions with ChatGPT according to their unique needs and preferences, making conversations more dynamic and relevant.

Whether a student seeking homework help, an aspiring writer brainstorming ideas, or a curious mind exploring various topics, the AI model can now take into account specific instructions to generate more relevant and personalized responses:

As users set their preferences or requirements using Custom Instructions, ChatGPT will consider these inputs in every subsequent interaction—eliminating the need to repeat instructions. This feature streamlines conversations and fosters a more engaging and productive dialogue with the AI.

Furthermore, the integration of Custom Instructions augments the utility of ChatGPT’s plugins. By incorporating specific details provided by users – such as location or preferences – the AI can seamlessly interact with plugins to provide more accurate and contextually relevant responses.

OpenAI has adapted safety measures to accommodate the introduction of Custom Instructions. Instructions violating usage policies will be identified and disregarded, in a bid to maintain a secure environment for all users.

OpenAI may employ Custom Instructions to increase ChatGPT's capabilities as part of its continuing attempts to improve the model's performance. However, by giving consumers the option to control their data settings and decline this function if they so want, the corporation upholds transparency and control.

Users of the free plan can access their account settings and choose the option to enable this feature in order to benefit from Custom Instructions' personalization features.

Users in the EU and UK are presently unable to access Custom Instructions, but OpenAI hopes to broaden access "soon."
