ChatGPT plus users now have the ability to make their own GPTs. Think of these like personalized ChatGPT bots that have specific parameters. For example, the first one I created is a writing tutor for students in TN. It doesn’t take any special coding to do one; you just chat your way through it with ChatGPT. You can upload documents, and that’s what I did. I found the latest writing rubrics for TN and the anchor papers that are provided. Because ChatGPT doesn’t care about formatting, I wrote a python script to write all of those dense PDFs into one RTF file, and I uploaded it.
I know a lot of teachers are going to fear that students are going to use these programs to cheat, so what I did was tell ChatGPT that I didn’t want it to create writing for students, only to give feedback on it. So instantly, I built a fence around my GPT that I wanted.
People like me are going to be building a ton of these, and eventually, we will probably have the opportunity to monetize these like YouTube Videos or TikToks. And honestly, that’s my plan. I want to built great resources that are specific to TN, and if I make some extra dough on that, good for me. Honestly, building it is its own reward for me.
