A Major ChatGPT Update No One is Talking About

Chatpt quietly released what I think is one of the most useful updates it's had in a long time and for some reason I didn't see a big announcement about it and I haven't seen anyone really talk about it and it's available right now to all free accounts. So I wanted to show you exactly what it is and there's one more update that I haven't covered before that came out in the last month or so that I also will cover before the end of the video too. So let me show you here in my chat GPT account. update is part of the way you use projects. And ever since projects got released, I've been using it more and they recently became available to everyone for free. They used to only be part of a paid plan, but they got some really big upgrade here that I wanted to show you. If you don't use projects, basically anytime you press create a new project, it will let you create folders inside of your chat GPT account to keep different subjects and different topics organized. So I do this for very specific projects and I also do it for broad category of projects. So all my script writing for example has its own project here. You can see all these projects here on the left side. The other thing that's really important about projects if you don't use them is projects allow you to keep things self-contained as far as the memory of chat GPT goes. So this project only option allows you to create projects where chat GPT won't look into previous conversations or saved memories. So this is really interesting because I typically use notebook LM for this very specific purpose because if you choose this option you could create a project and it'll have its own knowledge base but it won't go and find things that are not relevant to that knowledge base. So it keeps things self-contained. A really useful option that they have that you could turn on here. But when you create a project here, let me actually go to an existing one we have here. The nice thing about it is you could have for example a knowledge base. So, I've uploaded a knowledge base here, and this is going to be self-contained. So, meaning it's not going to look into previous conversations. It'll just pull in from this knowledge base. You could see all previous chats in one central location. So, everything we're doing about improving our content catalog is going to be all available here with previous chats. If I press the plus sign, I still have access to all the different tools we have access to inside of regular chat GPT, including things that have connected like Dropbox here. And here's the new update. You could now share them. So, if I press share, I could share it a couple of different ways. with an invite only link. If I have a business plan is which I have here, I could share it with people here. And if you have a regular free account or a plus account, you could also share it with a link that's available to anyone that uses that link. And this is what ends up happening when they accept it. You could allow them to chat with it or you could also allow them to edit this project. So they could then add their own knowledge base. So imagine you're working with someone else on this. You could share all your files here to build out the knowledge base of this project and the other person could do the same thing. We could both go to the custom instruction here, which is something projects have add your own custom instruction. So, this project will behave differently than anything else inside of chat GPT. And they'll also be able to see any previous chats that you've had and you could see theirs. That is incredible way to use chat GPT between different people and you could also share them publicly with a public link online. So, anybody could use your project. Now, there has always been something called GPTs. The reason why I think this chat GPT update is such a big deal is because now it gives you another way to basically create GPTs that I think in some cases are much better. Now, I still use GPTs all the time. I mean, these are all the different GPTs I use pretty much every single week. And I sometimes share these publicly, like this one is available for publicly use, too. But now, you could basically do the same thing with projects. Now, you're not going to have a nice organized store like this with all kinds of different categories, but if you still use GPTs, you may want to look into using projects instead. I think they still have a place. Both of them are still are somewhat relevant, but I think projects will slowly take over GPTs. I think they're just an easier way to make them. GPT still, if you press create, for example, inside of GPT is still a little bit involved here on what you got to do. And projects are super easy. You just upload your knowledge base, a custom instruction, share, and it's ready to go. Now, the other thing I wanted to show you that also came out recently, which I did not cover in a video, is called company knowledge, and it's available in the business plan. So, if you click this option right here, it will use everything that your company has stored in its knowledge base inside of chat.

So, where do those things come from? Well, I give it access to our Dropbox. We have pretty much all our scripts, all our course transcripts, ton of different SOPs inside of Dropbox. I also gave it access to my Google calendar so it could see our schedule there. I'm also about to give it access to our Google Drive, which my account has access to Google Drive, but the company knowledge base does not. So, I'm organizing my Google Drive. So, this will be specific to this company. And you could also add all kinds of other things like Gmail here, things from HubSpot, all that is available that you could connect and then just turn it on and your company knowledge base just like this gets pulled into a conversation and you could turn individual sources on and off here if you don't want to use them. Now, in the last couple years, I really took my time and organized my knowledge base. We actually have one inside of notion, too. So, I have everything organized into SOPs, into processes, into things like how-to videos, internal how-to videos from our company. So, everybody has access to everything now inside of our business plan here. You just turn this on pretty much every time you have a question about how to do something in our business, our processes, and it knows everything right inside of Chat GPT. And one last thing I wanted to mention for our Skill Leap members, we just released a brand new course. This one I've been working on for a while. It's a digital marketing master class. It's almost 3 hours long here and this just got released inside of our Skilly platform. So, you have access to it if you're an existing member. If you're not a member right now, we still have a 7-day free trial. So, you could jump in here and you get access to all our courses as well as all our learning paths. So, I'm organizing everything into very specific learning paths. So, you get four or five courses in linear order here. So, you don't have to go to our all courses tab and figure out what you want. But if you do want to learn something specific, we pretty much have courses on just about everything. Kevin and Andrew are also instructors that have several courses. We have Vololo that teaches AI coding by coding, AI agents we teach. So all these are available. And we've also added a calendar here to show you all the new courses that we have coming up. We pretty much have one or two course getting released every single month now. And I'm updating our entire back catalog too to make it a central place where everything is up to date. So, I'll put a link in the description if you want to sign up for Skilly. We have a monthly and yearly plan, but they both have a free trial to make sure it's a good fit for you. I also covered Chat GPT projects in far more detail before this update came out, so I'll include that video here. So, the sharing option included with everything else in that video should make you a master of chat GPT projects.
