AI IN ACTION

Introducing: Content Marketing GPT

Ever since OpenAI announced that it was allowing users to create their own GPTs, we’ve seen countless examples flood the internet.

But you know what we haven’t seen? A dedicated Content Marketing GPT.

So we decided to build our own.

Trained on all the latest reports, stats, and insights from the world’s leading content marketers, it’s the perfect content marketing ally and mentor.

Have a question about content marketing best practices? Need help building out a plan for 2024? Want to sense check your strategy?

A few points

  1. GPTs are still a work in progress. Bear this in mind when using or building them.

  2. However, they will definitely improve over time as OpenAI rolls out more features and we learn how to build them properly.

  3. Want to build your own? If so, use this GPT Customizer to create everything you’ll need for your GPT. Consider also watching this video to learn how the customizer works.

PROMPTS

The latest LLM prompting secrets, revealed

GPT-4 Turbo, the latest version of ChatGPT, has a 128k context window.

This means you can fit up to 300 pages of text into a single prompt.

But will ChatGPT remember all this information? Potentially not.

Thankfully, Bindu Reddy shared some key tricks to help ensure ChatGPT remembers key information that you share in your prompts.

Here’s what you need to know.

Long-form prompting tips

  • Smaller context-length inputs = greater accuracy.

  • Performance degrades at around 60-70% of the context length supported by an LLM.


  • Repeating the same fact 2-3x times helps ensure ChatGPT doesn’t forget key information.

  • ChatGPT remembers facts placed at the very beginning of the input and at the end better than those in the middle.


GPT-4 finds it hard to pick out specific information buried in the middle of long prompts.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Using GPTs to acquire customers

Play your cards right, and GPTs could turn into a potent marketing channel.

The process would go as follows:

  1. Create something valuable for prospects. For example, a Content Marketing GPT.

  2. Make the GPT publicly available and promote it on existing channels.

  3. Users play around with the GPT. If they’re impressed, some might get in touch asking for additional support.


  4. Alternatively, you could potentially even ask users for an email address before your GPT calls an API. Learn more here.
