ChatGPT rolled out custom instructions for Plus users on July 20. This allowed users to add a custom input that will be followed in every subsequent response by the AI model. While it was initially available to Plus subscribers, the feature is expanding to free users. Earlier, the functionality was undergoing testing during the beta launch in the premium tier.

This option allows users to enter "preferences or requirements" that they want the model to consider while generating output. Announcing the update, OpenAI said: "Custom instructions are now available to ChatGPT users on the free plan, except for in the EU & UK where we will be rolling it out soon!"

In the example shared in the official announcement of July, it can help a teacher prepare lessons for third-grade lectures without specifying especially the level of output repeatedly. With custom instructions, developers can preset a language they wish to generate output in, and they would not have to enter the prompt that they want the result in the particular coding language repeatedly.

Thirdly, it can help a family prepare a grocery list without specifying the size of the family repeatedly after once configured in a custom instruction. In the demo highlighted by the company, the educator asks the model to respond with a pros and cons table for easier comparison in future replies.

As a result, ChatGPT generates the output in a tabular format in future chats that revolve around that query. According to the AI research company, custom instructions is a product of feedback from users across 22 countries. Plus subscribers can head to 'Settings', then look for 'Beta features/New Features' and turn on 'Custom instructions'. After completing the process, the feature will appear in the settings on the iOS app and in the menu on the web app.

For quick context, ChatGPT is among the widely used chatbots across the world. Other models that compete with OpenAI's language model are Bard from Google and Microsoft's AI-powered Bing.
