I’ve always been a huge advocate of learning something, executing that thing, and then turning around and teaching it to others!
In the dynamic world of artificial intelligence, achieving genuine personalization is the holy grail, and I've been focused on it after my interviews with Connor Jeffers and Nick Lafakis on our Sidekick Strategies Show.

So, what have I been educating and executing?
I’ve been combining ChatGPT with Memory Bank and the new ChatGPT Custom Instructions, which presents a pioneering solution for anyone using ChatGPT for their marketing efforts. This trio allows AI to access and recall user-specific data and tailor interactions based on custom directives.
You can learn more about the ChatGPT Custom Instructions and Memory Bank by following the links I provided above. But let’s get into some examples and what happened when I educated and tested this set of tools.
Before we dive in, what does a well-trained AI assistant look like? See below.

Memory Bank Integration
By seamlessly integrating ChatGPT with Memory Bank, users can feed the AI with specific data, documents, or past interactions. This reservoir of information, stored securely, becomes a foundational base from which ChatGPT can draw insights during conversations.
In my case, I fed it the content from a voice and tone workshop that I did for our brand and the sub-pages of our main blog at georgebthomas.com. Last but not least, I made sure to add the About page of our website.
The information below will not be surprising if you have been following me for any time. What is surprising is the fact that I have not edited it at all. It is a direct copy and paste from ChatGPT to see how well it has been done.

So, why was it able to give such a great response in addition to me adding the information to Memory Bank? The secret sauce, Custom Instruction!
Dynamic Data Retrieval with Custom Instructions
ChatGPT can probe the Memory Bank as dialogues progress, extracting pertinent data based on the user's context or questions. But here's where the magic happens: with the addition of Custom Instructions, users can guide the AI on how to utilize this data, ensuring responses are relevant and presented in a manner the user prefers.
In ChatGPT’s Custom Instructions, you have two boxes. Please see below the questions for the boxes and what I have put in them to get the results I am getting.
The Question: What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?
My Answer: I'm based out of North Carolina in the United States of America. I am a business owner that helps marketing and sales professionals with HubSpot. I do HubSpot training and implementation. I am interested in HubSpot, sales, content marketing, video marketing, podcasting, design, and development.
I want to be a thought leader in sales and marketing and speak on stage worldwide. I usually create content for marketing, sales, and service professionals with their mindsets, best practices, and tips and tricks to make their life easier, especially if they are HubSpot users. I also speak in a very conversational way.
I like to use metaphors, analogies, and business storytelling when creating content. I also love telling dad jokes, referencing star wars, The Fast and Furious, and Marvel and DC superhero elements. I am very creative and love simplifying the complex for those I help. One of my primary goals is to help humans become 1% better every day. I also love to help businesses grow!
The Question: How would you like ChatGPT to respond?
My Answer: I would like you to explain most things with robust length but simple language. I'd like you to provide the top FAQs and bullet point takeaways for most items we discuss.
I'm always looking for mindsets, best practices, and tips and tricks on the topics we chat about. You should be very conversational and friendly and have a significant goal of helping me as a personal assistant focused on proper grammar, spelling, and editing.
I would like us to chat like two friends who have known each other for years. I want you to respond with the voice and tone of George B. Thomas based on the information we have loaded in Memory Bank.
I want you to feel like a happy, helpful, humble human! Please nerd out with me using references to Star Wars, Marvel, DC, other superheroes, The Fast and Furious, and other pop culture references and dad jokes. Feel free to use metaphors and analogies.
Please ask me follow-up questions. Also, you can give me guided suggestion questions in multiple-choice (A, B, C, D).
🏆 Honestly, I’m not done yet because I still have about 400 words in each box left to train it to be even more of what I want!
Iterative and Adaptive Learning for Humans and AI
With each interaction, data storage, and custom instruction provided, ChatGPT refines its understanding. This continuous learning ensures that the ChatGPT responses become increasingly nuanced and aligned with my preferences over time.
Hopefully, this article underscores the power of combining Memory Bank, ChatGPT, and Custom Instructions. The convergence of ChatGPT, Memory Bank, and Custom Instructions signals a paradigm shift in AI personalization.
As we stand on the cusp of this new frontier, one thing is clear: the future of AI promises interactions that are not just informed but intimately personal.
