Craft Your Instruction Block
Paste a Standard Work instruction block into the builder: five hook patterns, plus clear rules for process and tone. Specify the output format in plain language. This sets the foundation for consistent performance from day one.
Design Conversation Starters
Add four conversation starters that mirror requests you'd actually type. Use your real prompts as the baseline. This is what tailors the GPT to your real workflow.
Test for Quality Output
Test with a real topic, audience, and tone. Confirm it delivers five distinct hooks, a recommended pick, and a one-sentence justification. Real-world testing validates the build before you rely on it.
Refine and Validate
If the output is weak, tighten the instruction block. Sharper rules produce sharper results. Or upload 3-5 strong hooks you've written as reference examples so the GPT learns the quality bar.
Keep It Private and Evaluative
Keep your new GPT private for 30 days. Use it on every script during that window. This trial decides whether it's ready to publish or share.
Your first Custom GPT is running. Now let's build the UGC digital twin.
