Why this matters

Then the assistant remembers without you typing anything.

The 15-minute experiment

1. 1Pick one task you brief ChatGPT the same way each time
2. 2Go to ChatGPT Settings, click Create a GPT
3. 3Paste your standing instructions into the instructions box
4. 4Add one real example below them
5. 5Save it with a plain name, like 'Email writer' or 'Code reviewer'
6. 6Start a new chat in that GPT and ask for the task. Notice how much less explaining you have to do

Here is how I always brief this task. Turn it into standing instructions I can save. Keep it under 50 words and make it testable.

• Task chosen (one you repeat)
• GPT created with a clear name
• Instructions pasted and saved
• First chat used it without re-explaining
