Build Your Own AI Assistant: A Step By Step Workshop Using CustomGPTs

Workshop Overview

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to build and train their own AI assistant using CustomGPTs. We’ll cover the specific steps for designing an assistant that understands your voice, follows your processes, and supports tasks like content creation, email writing, SOP documentation, client responses, and internal planning. Participants will walk through The Protocol Method, a simple training framework that teaches you how to use your expertise, systems, and language to train an AI assistant. By the end of the session, every attendee will have a clear roadmap to building their own CustomGPT — complete with real-world use case examples, a planning template, and free access to the CustomGPT Builder Agent, which guides you step-by-step through the build process. No technical background is required — just curiosity and a willingness to explore what’s possible!

Key Takeaways
