ChatGPT custom instructions for your business, done for you.

Open ChatGPT, click your name, then Customize ChatGPT, and fill in the two boxes: what you want ChatGPT to know about you, and how you want it to respond. For a business, the first box is where your context goes: what the company does, the tools you run on, who owns what, and how you want it to work. The catch is that the box is small and gets summarized, so the better move is to keep your context in one structured file and paste the relevant part in. We generate that file for you in two minutes, free.

ChatGPT forgets because it has no memory of your business between sessions unless you give it that context every time. The model is general; it knows nothing specific about your company until you tell it. Custom instructions and memory help a little, but they are short, get summarized, and reset across projects and accounts. The reliable fix is to keep your business context in a file you paste in, so every chat starts oriented instead of blank.

Not on their own. ChatGPT custom instructions are a small box meant for short preferences, so they cannot hold everything an AI needs to actually work for your business: your systems, your team, who owns what, your real processes. They also get summarized and do not carry across projects or other tools. For a business, a structured context file you paste in holds far more, stays consistent, and works everywhere. Custom instructions are the on-ramp; the file is the real thing.

Custom instructions are a short preferences box inside one ChatGPT account; a business context file is a portable markdown document you own. The box is capped in length, gets summarized by the model, and does not follow you to Claude, Gemini, or a teammate's login. The file holds your full operational context, stays exactly as you wrote it, and works in any AI. You write it once and reuse it everywhere instead of re-typing instructions into every tool.

Yes, if you keep them in a file rather than in one tool's settings. ChatGPT custom instructions live inside ChatGPT and do not transfer. A plain markdown context file is portable: paste it into ChatGPT custom instructions, into a Claude Project or Claude Code, or into Gemini, and each one gets the same business context. You bring the AI; the file is what it reads. That is exactly what we generate, so you are not maintaining separate instructions per tool.

Lead with the essentials your AI needs to do real work: a one-line description of what the business does and who buys, the core tools you run on and what each is for, who owns what on the team, and how you want the AI to behave. Keep it high-signal and skip filler. Because the custom-instructions box is small, the practical approach is to keep the full version in a structured file and paste in the part that fits. We generate that structured file from six short questions.

Each custom-instructions box holds about 1,500 characters, and there are two boxes: one for what ChatGPT should know about you and one for how it should respond. That is only a few short paragraphs each, and the model summarizes what you write rather than using it word for word. For a business that fills up fast, which is why keeping your full context in a file and pasting in the part that fits works better: you sidestep the cap and the wording stays intact.

A good set is short and high-signal. In the first box: one line on what the business does and who buys, the core tools you run on, who owns what on the team, and your current priorities. In the second box: tell it to assume that context, ask before assuming details it does not have, be concise and lead with the answer, and flag anything that needs your decision. Keep it tight, because the box is capped at about 1,500 characters and gets summarized. The fuller version belongs in a context file you paste in and reuse across tools.

Yes. For the first box: "I run [business], a [type] that [what you do] for [who buys]. We operate on [core tools]. Team: [who owns what]. We are focused on [current priorities]." For the second box: "Assume the business context above, ask before assuming details you do not have, be concise and lead with the answer, and flag anything that needs a decision from me." That fits the limit and works as a starting point. The file we generate is the same idea with real depth, and it is portable to Claude and Gemini.

Yes. Answer six short questions about your business and we generate your context file for free, with no card required. You also get a free AI Action Plan and the first knowledge-base docs. The full knowledge base, the prompt and skill library, and the one-paste live connection are a one-time paid upgrade. There is no subscription. The file is plain markdown you can paste into ChatGPT custom instructions, Claude, or Gemini.

No. You can write them by hand, the same way you could write your own business plan, but the point is that it is done for you. Six answers in, a structured business context file out, organized for AI to actually use, in two minutes instead of an afternoon staring at a blank box. The file is yours to keep and edit, so you can still adjust it by hand whenever the business changes.

Custom instructions apply to new chats in the account where you set them, but not everywhere you might expect. They can be overridden inside projects, they get summarized rather than used verbatim, and they do not carry to other accounts or other AI tools. A context file you paste in gives you control: you decide exactly what the AI sees at the start of a conversation, and it reads the same in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

The structure is the same; the difference is the work and the portability. Hand-typed custom instructions live in one tool and tend to be thin because the box is small. We generate a structured file from your answers, organized the way an AI can actually use it, then you paste it wherever you work. You get the depth a real business needs and one source of truth instead of scattered instructions in each tool.
