The Chain Prompting Method

Learn the structured Chain Prompting workflow to design the "soul" of your Custom GPT.

The Chain Prompting Process

Instead of staring at a blank 'Instructions' box, we'll use a structured process. Chain Prompting uses a series of specialized AI assistants to generate the core components.

The Four-Step Workflow

  1. Define Your GPT's Purpose: Get a clear idea of the problem your GPT will solve
  2. Generate System Instructions: Use an 'Instruction Architect' to create comprehensive instructions
  3. Build a Knowledge Base: Use a 'Knowledge Base Architect' to find and structure information
  4. Define Functions (Optional): Define how your assistant can connect to external tools and APIs
