How to Make Your Own Custom GPT (in under 10 minutes):
- Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus ($20/month).
- Go to chat.openai.com, click “Explore GPTs” on the left sidebar.
- Hit “Create” in the top right corner.
- Fill in the prompts (name, purpose, tone, etc.).
- Upload your content (transcripts, newsletters, articles—anything).
- In the instructions, tell it to only use your uploaded content unless told otherwise.
- Save and mark it “Private” so only you can use it.
That’s it—you now have a version of ChatGPT that knows everything you’ve ever made.

Creating a ChatGPT that thinks like you sounds like a futuristic headache—but Jay Schwedelson just made it feel like a no-brainer. After producing hundreds of podcasts, newsletters, and posts, Jay finally got tired of drowning in content chaos. His fix? A 10-minute, game-changing custom GPT that now powers his idea engine, streamlines content, and basically acts like a digital clone. The setup is surprisingly simple, and Jay swears it’s the best $20 he’s spent.
