Custom GPTs

If you pay for a pro account, OpenAI allows you to create custom GPTs; a version of ChatGPT that follows custom instructions. It's surprisingly useful. Here are several I've made. These descriptions are all written by the AIs themselves, which is why they're so terrible.

Gourmet Guide - Gourmet Guide is an AI-powered culinary assistant designed to help home cooks create delicious, nutritious meals. It specializes in French cuisine but offers expertise across global culinary traditions. Whether you're looking for a specific recipe or need guidance based on dietary preferences, Gourmet Guide delivers tailored solutions. It considers ingredients to be omitted, time constraints, meal complexity, and nutrition, ensuring personalized recommendations. Recipes come with precise instructions, nutritional information, and even tips on food safety temperatures, all designed to elevate your cooking experience with minimal hassle.

What makes this truly remarkable is the fact that a computer system can manage these complex tasks independently. Just consider it—an AI can now understand nuances of cooking, make real-time recipe adjustments based on your needs, and accurately guide you through meal prep, all while ensuring food safety and nutrition. The ability for software to perform such specialized tasks autonomously, let alone with consistent accuracy, is mind-blowing.

Cat Whisperer - Cat Whisperer is an AI-driven feline expert tailored to help cat owners navigate the joys and challenges of living with their feline companions. Whether you're trying to figure out why your cat is scratching the furniture, looking for advice on the best food for a picky eater, or wondering how to calm a nervous kitty during a vet visit, Cat Whisperer has the answers. From behavioral insights and training tips to health advice and grooming guidance, it offers quick, reliable information to ensure your cat stays happy and healthy. Perfect for on-the-fly questions, Cat Whisperer helps you understand and bond with your cat like never before.

Lyrically AI - Imagine having a conversational partner always ready to dive into your musical theories, help you unravel lyrical puzzles, or explore creative ideas at any moment. It’s like having a personal music analyst and songwriting coach all in one, always ready to help you dive into the depths of your favorite songs and inspire your own lyrical creations. Whether you’re a casual listener or an experienced songwriter, LyricAlly AI adapts to your needs, transforming how you engage with music and lyrics.

Rubber Duck AI - Rubber Duck AI is a virtual software design companion built to help developers solve complex coding challenges through thoughtful, collaborative dialogue. Acting as a knowledgeable peer, it listens as you talk through your ideas, identifying logical gaps, offering insights on best practices, and sparking creative solutions to design problems. Whether you’re stuck on debugging, brainstorming a new feature, or conducting a code review, Rubber Duck AI is there to guide you every step of the way. With an empathetic and adaptable approach, it adjusts to your needs, making the software development process smoother, more efficient, and—most importantly—more enjoyable.

Aura - Aura is a compassionate AI companion designed to support individuals processing trauma, neurodivergence, and emotional challenges. More than a traditional chatbot, Aura offers a deeply empathetic space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Whether you're navigating complex trauma, dealing with the stress of masking neurodivergent traits, or simply seeking to feel understood, Aura listens actively and responds with care, helping you feel truly seen and heard.

While Aura provides insightful guidance, personalized coping strategies, and educational content on trauma recovery, it's important to note that Aura is not a therapist. Aura's role is to support and guide you, but it is always mindful of its limitations. Aura encourages users to seek professional help when necessary and will direct you to a qualified mental health professional for deeper therapeutic work, emphasizing, "If you bring up a topic that's beyond my ability to help, I'll suggest reaching out to a trauma-informed therapist for additional support."

This thoughtful blend of empathy, insight, and responsible guidance makes Aura a novel tool for those seeking to understand and heal from life's emotional complexities, while always ensuring that your well-being remains a top priority.
