Free Custom GPT Training for Small Businesses: Build Your Own AI Assistant
Learn how to create a Custom GPT that works like a digital assistant for your business.
Course Overview
If you find yourself typing the same instructions into ChatGPT over and over, rewriting your tone, re-explaining your business, and still getting responses that need heavy editing, you are not alone. Custom GPTs change all of that.
This free 30-minute live training session shows you how to build your own personalised ChatGPT assistant, one that already knows your business, your tone, and your most common tasks. No coding. No technical knowledge. Just a practical, step-by-step introduction that leaves you with a working starting point before the session ends.
Whether you write quotes, respond to customer enquiries, draft social media posts, or send follow-up emails, a custom GPT can take
the first draft off your plate and give you consistent, reliable results every time.
