How to Create a Code Explainer GPT: step-by-step guide
On ChatGPT's main interface, go to the left-side panel and click 'Explore GPTs'.
Click 'Create' at the top-right corner to get started.
Following that, navigate to the 'Configure' tab.
Set a distinctive display photo that represents your code explainer GPT. To do that, click the 'Add' icon and select the specific image file you wish to use.
Subsequently, assign a unique GPT 'Name' and 'Description'. Enter the details into their respective input fields.
Prepare a detailed and comprehensive array of guidelines that describe the purpose, behavior, function, and capability of the code explainer GPT you wish to create. Type them into the 'Instructions' input field.
Add several text prompt examples to guide the users through the first step. Enter them individually into the 'Conversation Starters' input field.
If you want to provide additional references from external sources, go to the Knowledge section and tap 'Upload Files'. Simply import the documents that contain the data you wish to use.
Go over the Capabilities section afterwards, then tick the checkbox beside the functions you wish to enable. Since you're building a code explainer GPT, use the 'Code Interpreter & Data Analysis' feature and add several Actions for third-party tool integration.
Once done, head over to the Preview Area and test out your code explainer GPT for the first time. Type a text prompt into the provided input field and click 'Submit'.
Review the initial performance of your code explainer GPT. If you're satisfied with the result, click the 'Create' button at the top-right corner.
Specify your preferred access configuration and then tap 'Save' to proceed.
After completing these steps, your code explainer GPT will be created and published.
Quick answer: To create a code explainer GPT, open ChatGPT, navigate to Explore GPTs, and click Create. Configure the GPT by adding a photo, name, description, instructions, conversation starters, knowledge files, and capabilities like Code Interpreter and Actions. Finally, test the preview, click Create, and save your preferred access configuration to publish it.
