The whole Klinge family is attending the 1000Watt Brand & Marketing Summit in Dallas this week – yeehaw!

One of today’s speakers dove into AI and how agents can use it to save hours of time doing mundane work. But I think everyone could benefit from these tidbits!

As of right now, I’m not one to use AI too much. I usually just ask some simple questions when I’m not in the mood to scour the internet for answers. Most recently I asked ChatGPT the wattage of my microwave by sending in a photo and I also asked why the red light of my blender was blinking. So that just proves how I’m really using AI to save time in my professional life.

One feature of ChatGPT I learned about from today’s speaker is custom GPTs. If you pay for Chat GPT Plus ($20/month), you unlock the ability to create custom GPTs for tasks and topics you repeatedly need assistance with. For example, the speaker hosts a podcast and he created a custom GPT to prepare him for each episode before filming. So now, instead of spending 30-60 minutes researching his next guest, he simply puts in the name of the guest and it produces all the information he needs based on his customization of the GPT.

I thought this was pretty sweet and could be used for plenty of tasks, both work related and not.

My first project: make a custom GPT to help me make our weekly KRG newsletter. I often include upcoming local events and sometimes it takes an annoying amount of time to find events that seem enjoyable, so hoping this makes it quicker. I just did a few rounds of questions and fine tuned the events it pulled by date, location, audience, etc. – so far so good! I’ll keep using it and see how it goes!

If you’re interested in doing the same, here are the steps:

1. Explore
2. Profile ? My GPTs ? Create
3. Add GPT Image (optional)
4. Add name, description, instructions
5. Enable capabilities
6. Click “create”

If you try it out, let me know what you use it for and how you perfect it!
