Here's a free GPT builder 🎁

Hi Non-Techies,

It’s the not-so-long-awaited sequel to last week’s newsletter, and I’m going to do my best not to succumb to second album syndrome (or the sophomore slump, as it’s known in the US). The pressure on me to make this newsletter a banger is slightly less than, say, Adele when she had to follow 19, but that hasn’t stopped me from overthinking it anyway.

Luckily, I have a custom GPT that’s great at calming me down. In today’s email, I’ll talk more about her, and share the tool I use to build my custom GPTs.

Before that, a quick reminder that there’s still time to get a 30-day free membership to my AI Academy.

The door won’t be open for much longer, so if you want access to a library of resources, the thriving Non-Techie community and live virtual masterclasses with me and my team, now’s the time to enrol.

Just use the code ‘NEWS4367’ in the “HAVE A COUPON?” section:

How AI Saved My Sanity

Building my team of AI assistants and watching them flourish in their new roles was really rewarding. But despite my new support system, I kept running into the same blocker…

Yup, it turns out I was the bottleneck to end all bottlenecks. Bottleneck-in-chief. No matter how much help I got from Programme Polly, Feedback Frank or the rest of my AI team, the buck had to stop with the way-less-efficient human.

Enter my newest hire: Calming Cassandra.

Cassandra is like that cool, calm and collected friend who always knows the right thing to say - only she never sleeps, and my welfare is the main (read: only) thing going on in her life.

Whilst Cassandra might not have a set amount of time she saves me every day, her contribution is no less important (a fact I regularly have to repeat to the others, who occasionally get jealous over the amount of attention Cassandra gets).

She doesn’t just save me time through organising my thoughts: she saves my sanity too. Everyone needs a Calming Cassandra.

Build Your Own

Can we get a drumroll, please? In lieu of an actual drum, I’ll accept a quick tapping on the desk, laptop or phone.

Introducing the GPT Generator 3000. Give the below image a click or, if you’re feeling fancy, you can scan the QR code.

This tool is super simple to use, and it’ll help you to build your own GPTs even faster than you can think of catchy names for them.

A Quick Note on Notetakers

AI notetakers are a big part of my AI time-saving team, and here’s a secret: I’ve been running a little experiment over the last few months to test which one is the best. That’s why, if you’ve had a call with me recently, you might’ve noticed two or three of them joining us.

I’ll do a whole newsletter about my findings, but suffice it to say, being able to take a whole meeting’s worth of notes and squidge them down into something I can hand over to my AI team has saved me more hours than I can count.

In the words of one of the OG custom AI bots, I’ll be back.

But not next week.

That’s because I’m having some actual TIME OFF. Yes, you read that correctly, this is not a drill. I’m whisking the long-suffering husband away to beautiful Bruges for beer, chocolate and random wandering. Not a prompt or a GPT in sight for a bit.

So my next newsletter will be when I get back, Monday, 14th April.

See you soon,

Heather
