NEWSLETTER 1: The Shift Is Now — Why You Should Build a GPT
What AI means for your career
This is part of the “How to Build a GPT” series — a 5-part guide to help you create a no-code solution that makes you stand out at work.
Intro: AI used to be optional. Now, it's a part of how we work and win. Whether it was mentioned in your last company town hall, strategy meeting, or lunch chat, artificial intelligence is changing how we work. This series is for professionals who want to stand out, stay ahead, and simplify their work through AI—specifically by building a custom GPT that solves a real problem at their job. No coding is required. No unnecessary information. Just results.
What's a GPT? GPT Stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. Essentially, it is an AI model trained on large amounts of data so it can learn human-like language, which gives it the ability to answer questions, explain things, and help with tasks. What makes these GPTs special is that you can teach them to do something distinguishing for you or your team. Think: "SOP explainer," "Onboarding buddy," or "Helpdesk shortcut."
Why it matters: You don't need to wait for someone to give you AI access or permission. This is your chance to become an AI pioneer within your workplace. The people who take action today will be tomorrow's go-to experts.
