Beginner's Guide to GPTs
OpenAI GPTs
Everything You Need to Get Started
for Non-Technical Users
Introduction
Welcome to the world of AI! You're probably here because you've heard of OpenAI's new GPTs but don't know where to begin. Look no further, you've found the right place!
In November of 2023 OpenAI released the ability for you to create and share your own custom AI chatbot. The new offering is called a GPT, and building one is extremely easy! You can use them privately or share with others, and when OpenAI launches the GPT Store in early 2024 you will be able to earn money based on how many people are using your GPT.
This is the start of your journey. Although everyone can benefit from GPTs, this beginner-friendly course is tailored for non-technical individuals who have no previous experience. You will discover the essentials for building a GPT to harness the power of AI in your daily life, without complexity or technical jargon.

Prerequisites
If you're curious about AI and wondering if you will be able to make use of this new technology without any previous knowledge, the answer is YES!
The only thing you need to get started is a basic understanding of OpenAI and a ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/month as of December 2023). Note that this expense is separate from this course, and you will have to pay OpenAI for this service. If you want help with setting up your account a walkthrough is available in OpenAI Essentials.
Never before has such powerful technology been available to anyone. This course will walk through the basics of building GPTs, starting from the very beginning.
Who This Course is For
Designed for non-technical users eager to explore AI but don't want to go it alone. This offering is one part of a multi-course series called Let's Build GPTs, where we will cover everything you need to know to get started with your own AI powered solutions.
Perfect for those who want to explore through a website or apps but will not be digging into more technical aspects such as API interactions. Custom GPTs allow anyone to create apps and useful solutions.
Technical users can get value from GPTs. If you're brand new and want a quick overview this is for you, but technical users may also want to dig into the advanced GPT course or technical OpenAI courses related to the API (coming soon!)
