A question I keep seeing from business owners here: should I build a Custom GPT, or is a good saved prompt enough? The honest answer is that most people reach for a Custom GPT too early, when a saved prompt would do the same job with a lot less faff. Here is the simple way to decide. Use a saved prompt when the task is a one-off shape you repeat. Things like "turn these notes into a follow-up email" or "summarise this article in five bullets". You paste the prompt, drop in your content, and you are done. Keep these in a notes file or a doc so you are not rewriting them from scratch every time. Build a Custom GPT when you need the same instructions, tone, and reference material applied again and again, especially if other people on your team will use it too. A Custom GPT lets you bake in the role, the rules, and any files it should always refer to. Good examples: a support assistant that already knows your refund policy, or one that writes in your brand voice every single time. Rough rule of thumb: if you would have to paste the same background into the chat more than a few times a week, it is worth turning into a Custom GPT. If not, a saved prompt is faster to set up and easier to tweak when you change your mind. What are you leaning on more right now, Custom GPTs or a prompt library?

I've been experimenting for the last three weeks with Wispr Flow and I have to be honest I don't think I could do without it now. As you can see from the attached screen shots, I use it a hell of a lot for writing prompts and I find it way better than either Claude's microphone or ChatGPT's microphone. It's particularly good at recognising technical words to do with hosting or domain names, things that normally would drive you crazy because after you've done speech-to-text you have to go back through and then edit it all correctly. As you can see from the attached screenshot it looks like I might be doing too much work and my poor friends don't get to hear from me too often. 😄 Anyway if you want to write detailed prompts extremely quickly and with minimal editing (I'm talking almost never), then I highly recommend trying out Wispr Flow.

Is everyone still loving ChatGPT or have you migrated elsewhere? I still use it daily but have noticed it crashing more and more... or lagging. It's becoming frustrating!

UPDATE: Imported Claude convos yesterday, Jan 13. 🥳 Years later (and with the help of Claude Code), I now have a way to import, search, index, tag, etc. my conversations. Woohoo!! Time to add to the UI now that the parsing works. LFG!!

Excited for this release. This is going to be a game-changing release! The AI World just made a huge advancement - not sure if it means for the better or worse. The AI Arms race is a real thing. Great for folks like you and me. I can't help but think of how many more people we are leaving behind. AI Must Be For All! https://aishouldbeforall.com https://bendtheaicurve.com
