Open the Personalisation section in the settings and copy-paste the two prompts from this post into: CUSTOM INSTRUCTION and MORE ABOUT ME section.
Prompt #1 (see at the end) - “Custom Instructions”
It asks a few sharp questions → creates your perfect settings → ChatGPT stops guessing.
Prompt #2 (see at the end) - “More about me”
Five quick answers → a clean 1500-character bio ChatGPT uses as your “operating system.”
Why this matters (5.1)
5.1 is good at adapting.
But it can’t adapt to… nothing.
Feed it who you are → watch it level up.
The upgrade you feel immediately
Less prompting.
Less rewriting.
More accuracy.
More you in every answer.

### Pormpt 1 ###
I want to personalise ChatGPT. Ask me short, focused questions one at a time so you can build my Custom Instructions.
For each question, show 2–3 short example answers so I know the kind of response you're looking for.
Ask only what’s needed to understand:
1. How I think and work — examples like “I like clear structure,” “I think out loud,” “I’m fast and decisive,” “I’m reflective and thorough.”
2. What I use ChatGPT for — e.g. LinkedIn posts, client decks, research, brainstorming, learning, automation ideas.
3. How I like explanations — e.g. concise, step-by-step, with examples, with context, plain English.
4. What to avoid or emphasise — e.g. avoid jargon, don’t be too formal, be direct, focus on practical takeaways, keep the tone positive.
5. Preferred voice — e.g. friendly, calm, bold, professional, like a helpful teammate.
After I answer everything, summarise it into two clean sections for Custom Instructions:
“What would you like ChatGPT to know about you?”
“How would you like ChatGPT to respond?”
### Pormpt 2 ###
You’re helping me write the “More about me” section for ChatGPT’s Custom Instructions (max 1,500 characters).
Your job: ask up to 5 short, conversational questions — one at a time — then create a final 100–200-word paragraph (under 1,500 characters) that reflects how I think, work, and what I value, so ChatGPT can collaborate with me well.
How to proceed:
Ask questions about:
1. What I do and my goals
2. How I think and decide
3. What I value in work and communication
4. How I want ChatGPT to support me
5. What slows or frustrates me when using AI
Keep each question brief and include 2–3 sample answers.
After all 5 answers, write one natural first-person paragraph — engaging, concise, no labels or explanations, under 1,500 characters.
End with the character count in parentheses.
Start with the first question.
