OpenAI releases custom instructions for ChatGPT


  • Staff

 OpenAI Blog:

We’re introducing custom instructions so that you can tailor ChatGPT to better meet your needs. This feature will be available in beta starting with the Plus plan today, expanding to all users in the coming weeks. Custom instructions allow you to add preferences or requirements that you’d like ChatGPT to consider when generating its responses.

We’ve heard your feedback about the friction of starting each ChatGPT conversation afresh. Through our conversations with users across 22 countries, we’ve deepened our understanding of the essential role steerability plays in enabling our models to effectively reflect the diverse contexts and unique needs of each person.

ChatGPT will consider your custom instructions for every conversation going forward. The model will consider the instructions every time it responds, so you won’t have to repeat your preferences or information in every conversation.

For example, a teacher crafting a lesson plan no longer has to repeat that they're teaching 3rd grade science. A developer preferring efficient code in a language that’s not Python – they can say it once, and it's understood. Grocery shopping for a big family becomes easier, with the model accounting for 6 servings in the grocery list.

Ask ChatGPT what a kg of iron floating in Mercury weighs and it comes up with a negative number. AI today has a good overview of literature but no understanding of physics!

ChatGPT has three modes. I could not find any modes in Bing unless I was on the Dev channel, using CoPilot. ChatGPT is also free!


As an AI language model, I don't have predefined "modes" per se, but I can adapt my responses to different styles of communication based on the user's prompts and the context of the conversation. Here are three aspects of how I can interact with you:

  1. Informative Mode: In this mode, I provide factual information and answer questions to the best of my knowledge, drawing from the extensive dataset I was trained on, which includes various topics up until September 2021.
  2. Conversational Mode: I can engage in casual conversation and respond in a more natural and conversational tone. This mode is well-suited for general chit-chat, discussing opinions, or sharing thoughts on different subjects.
  3. Formal Mode: When required, I can adjust my responses to be more formal and professional. This mode may be useful for academic discussions, technical explanations, or any situation that demands a more serious tone.
