What are custom GPTs?

You might have definitely heard about OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has been making waves in the AI world, right? Now, imagine if ChatGPT could be customized just for you or your business. Well, that's what custom GPTs do. ✨

Custom GPTs are advanced AI chatbots tailored to meet specific tasks and requirements. From handling customer service inquiries, assisting with sales, to providing expert advice in a niche field, these GPTs are fine-tuned to improve productivity and engagement.

In simple words, custom GPTs are more personalized versions of ChatGPT, adaptable as per your needs. And don't worry - you don't need to be a tech expert to get started.

Here’s an example to help you understand in a better way.

Let's imagine you own a fitness website called "Fitness Guru" that offers various fitness programs. A user, Alex, visits your site looking for a new workout routine. He types into your chatbot: "I need a 30-minute cardio routine for beginners."

Your custom GPT, who is well-versed in fitness lingo, instantly provides a detailed response guiding Alex to a suitable program on your website.

Instant, accurate, and personalized— a simple example of how a custom GPT can enhance websites and boost user engagement.

How to integrate custom GPTs into your website?

Understanding the difference between custom GPTs and Assistant APIs

Custom GPTs

Custom GPTs are tailored versions of ChatGPT designed for specialized interactions - from giving editorial feedback to offering technical assistance. The best part? You can build these directly within the ChatGPT interface without the need for coding unless advanced custom actions are needed.

However, there’s a problem - custom GPTs can only function within the ChatGPT platform, meaning you can't integrate them with your applications or websites.

Solution: Use Botsonic’s GPT Bot Builder. It can help you build and integrate a GPT bot into the website and enhance user experience.

Assistants API

The Assistants API, on the contrary, is a robust tool that allows you to construct customized assistants within your own applications. Unlike Custom GPTs, these are not hosted by OpenAI, and coding is a prerequisite for integration.

The strength of Assistants API lies in its versatility - it helps you to design user interfaces and update the knowledge base regularly, translating into a flexible tool tailored to your specific needs.

But here’s a problem - OpenAI will be giving the response through the Assistant API key but won’t provide any frontend interface that you can integrate into the website.

Solution: GPT Bot Builder by Botsonic can provide you the frontend interface which you can connect with OpenAI API and directly deploy on your website.

Integrating custom GPT to your website

Now, let’s move on to how you can add custom GPT to your website. Whether you have a pre-built custom GPT bot ready for integration or starting from scratch, there are two ways:

  1. Import an OpenAI Assistant Bot.
  2. Create a GPT bot using Botsonic and integrate it into the website.

1. Import an OpenAI Assistant Bot

  • Use the OpenAI platform to create your assistant. Once you create an assistant, copy the assistant ID. Also, generate the secret API key for later use.
