Custom GPTs for Small Business

Learn how to create your own Custom GPT that acts like a virtual employee for your business. Instead of starting from scratch every time, you’ll build an AI assistant trained to create branded content, answer common questions, generate marketing materials, and streamline repetitive tasks.
In this hands-on session, you’ll learn how to create GPTs that generate:
- Social media graphics
- Flyers and promotional materials
- Email newsletters
- Blog content
- Sales messages
- Customer service responses
- Business planning documents
You’ll also see real-world examples, including a custom GPT built for a client that produces branded Instagram graphics in under a minute with the correct logo, colors, and messaging.
Takeaway:Â Â Leave with a framework for creating your own AI-powered business assistant.
