No Code Builder For Your Custom ChatGPT Chatbot : Step-by-Step Guide (For Non-Technical Users!)

Having your own custom Chatbot that can assist you specifically for your business or personal assistance without even knowing complex algorithms and code is amazing. 

Previously, training the custom chatbot using ChatGPT that aligned with your business needs was challenging. This is what CustomGPT does for you, you have now the power not only to personalize your chatbots but also to teach them to comprehend your needs intimately without hallucinating. 

In this blog let’s find out how training can be done with CustomGPT without writing a single line of code and create a personalized well trained ChatGPT model for you.

Train ChatGPT With Your Own Data

The question that naturally arises is, “How do I go about training ChatGPT with my own data?”. This process is very simple and only takes a few steps to train  ChatGPT with your own data. You can do this by uploading your own dataset or creating a sitemap for your ChatGPT by using sitemap generator .  

1. For instance, if you’re a student conducting research in a particular field of study, you can create a sitemap based on that specific field of study.
2. Conversely, if you operate a tourist company, you can train ChatGPT using datasets related to specific destinations, pricing details, and travel packages. 
3. Once your custom Chatbot is trained it will provide the relevant and accurate information about your company services or your field of study.

Training ChatGPT For Your Business, Website And Other Requirements

Lets have an example of a website that has information based on movies. Their dataset contains movie ranking, its name, cast and other information.

Movies Dataset

The goal is to train ChatGPT with your custom dataset about movies by uploading this information. And then you can set ChatGPT live with your website and it will be ready to answer the customer’s questions. We will further have a look on how you can upload your dataset and train your ChatGPT below.

Training ChatGPT With New Data

Training your ChatGPT with your own data is quite a simple process, but once you train your ChatGPT with your datasets it is very important to make sure that your ChatGPT is up to date by feeding latest datasets, especially when you are using ChatGPT which was trained on such a topic that is rapidly evolving. Training on new data will help you get responses that are up-to-date and relevant to your specific topic. You need to consider the following steps to keep your ChatGPT up to date:

1. Train your ChatGPT on your own data like the above movie website dataset.
2. Keep your ChatGPT up to date by regularly adding webpages and documents to the chatbot’s knowledge base.
3. Like in the above movie website, the movies are released every year and ranked. So, the data will change and your ChatGPT will also stay up to date for answering user’s questions.

Train ChatGPT To Write Like You

If you’re a writer, then obviously you could have your own unique way of writing and tone. This style makes you different from others. However, sometimes it might be difficult to come up with new topics or ideas to write about. 

What if I say that you could have your ChatGPT that showcases your writing style and tone? It could make your job even better and easier.

You need to simply follow these steps:

1. Have your datasets, that showcases your writing skills.
2. Or you can create a list of tips in a document that focuses on your writing style.
3. Create some samples of writing tone and your conversation.
4. Simply upload all these documents to train your ChatGPT.
5. Tune the generated responses by simply changing your Persona.

Below is the example of doing all these steps for proper training of your ChatGPT.

Let’s Take a practical example to demonstrate how you can train your ChatGPT

It takes only few steps to follow:

Step 1: Choose Your Topic 

Now choosing your own topic depends upon your requirement. Let’s choose a topic right now. I am choosing a topic on ‘Effective Social Media Marketing Strategies’ as per my requirement. This could help me in enhancing my business by audience interaction, and definitely it can be done by creating engaging content and choosing the right platform for marketing.

Step 2: Generate Sitemap

Next step is to create a sitemap for my ChatGPT training. This can be done by using this free tool. Here you can put your keywords and it will generate a sitemap for your specific topic.

In the above image I generated a sitemap for the topic ‘Effective Social Media Marketing Strategies’ and developed the Market-Mentor ChatGPT accordingly.

Step 3: Upload Datasets

Now as I told you earlier you can train your ChatGPT by creating sitemap alone or by using both sitemap and upload documents. If you want ChatGPT to cover a broader range of topics you generate a sitemap for it, but if you want to feed some datasets defining your requirement/personal tips then upload your own dataset and give ChatGPT your business touch.

Step 4: Indexing Your Data

Now that you have uploaded your data, it will be instantly indexed by CustomGPT and converted into “vectors”. You might have heard the term “Large Language Models” (LLMs). When you upload your knowledge, the system breaks it down into “chunks” and makes it ready to be queried. Your chatbot is ready !

Step 5: Test And Evaluation

Let’s pose a question to “Market-Mentor” and evaluate the response to ensure it aligns with the training I’ve provided. After training, the model generates responses to new prompts or questions. These responses need to be evaluated to ensure they are accurate, coherent, and aligned with the intended context.

These responses need to be evaluated to ensure they are accurate, coherent, and aligned with the intended context.

You see it produces responses that are aligned with what I was looking for. But if responses do not get aligned with your training or intended results then you can check it with various prompts and can modify the datasets you provided in the training phase. 

You can also see the sources from where the result came from.

You can change these crawled URLs according to your requirement by changing the sitemap. You can change sitemap by providing relevant keywords more specifically to the tool. However, CustomGPT provides the feature in your project’s interface of customizing your ChatGPT behavior to work according to your need. You can do it simply by going into your project’s settings.
