Audience Exposure Level: Level 2 - Sometimes use AI
This quick guide will explore the landscape of custom bot creation tools and techniques, from user-friendly interfaces like ChatGPT's GPTs to more sophisticated applications. The session will outline effective prompting strategies, demonstrate how bots can leverage document knowledge through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and compare available platforms including GPTs, Claude, Gemini, and Poe. Practical demonstrations will focus on ChatGPT GPTs while drawing comparisons with alternatives, helping identify when you may need to move from a simple custom bot to a more fully developed software project.
