Questions
Where do I paste these?
In the instructions box when you set up a custom GPT in ChatGPT, a Project in Claude or a Gem in Gemini. You can also paste them at the start of any chat.
Why does it ask me to fill in blanks?
An assistant should only use real facts. Anything we do not know, like your hours or prices, becomes a blank for you to fill in.
