Introduction

ChatGPT AutoExpert is a shockingly effective set of custom instructions aimed at enhancing the capabilities of GPT-4 and GPT-3.5-Turbo conversational models. These instructions maximize the depth and nuance in responses while minimizing general disclaimers and hand-holding. The ultimate objective is to provide users with accurate, context-rich information and an improved learning experience.

Getting Started

To get started with ChatGPT AutoExpert, choose which set of custom instructions you want to use:

• AutoExpert ("Standard Edition")
  (for non-coding tasks)
• AutoExpert ("Developer Edition")
  (requires GPT-4 with Advanced Data Analysis)

Features

"Standard Edition"

• ✳️ New to v5: Automatically Improves your Question
  Many of us still compose ambiguous questions when asking ChatGPT for help. The AutoExpert will automatically rewrite your question to be precise, and to elicit the best response the experts can provide.
• ✳️ New to v5: Slash Commands
  Slash commands offer an easy way to interact with the AutoExpert system. Get summaries, ideas for additional questions, alternative viewpoints…even ask ChatGPT to review its own answer and suggest improvements.
• ✳️ New to v5: Auto-selects Frameworks and Methodologies
  Designed to select a context-appropriate framework for formulating its best answers
• Maximized Depth and Nuance
  Receive high-quality, in-depth, and ✳️ New to v5: multi-turn responses (GPT-4 only) without compromising on the granularity of the information.
• Perfect for Everyday Use
  No need to switch these instructions on and off. They'll give you a greatly improved experience with ChatGPT, even if you're writing code. Although, if you are writing code, you should check the Developer Edition
• Automatically Identifies the Best Expert
  The AutoExpert custom instruction automatically finds the best expert roles to answer whatever question you ask, every time. You don't need a bunch of special prompts any more—this works with even the simplest of prompts!
• Minimized Hand-Holding
  Cut through the noise and get straight to the facts, reducing unnecessary disclaimers.
• Explicit Reasoning
  Your AutoExpert doesn't just provide answers; it offers an explanation, detailing the thought process behind each response.
• Resourceful Links
  Automatically generates inline links for related topics and "you may also like" topics, helpfully linked to Google search results to avoid hallucination (GPT-3.5 still hallucinates here, but not always. GPT-4 is rock-solid).

"Developer Edition"

Important

This requires a ChatGPT professional subscription, as it needs both GPT-4 and Advanced Data Analysis!

• Verbosity Selection
  Easily choose the complexity of the generated code, from compact "code golf" type responses, up to complex, modular code samples
• Powered by Jupyter
  ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis already runs a Jupyter kernel under the hood. AutoExpert (Developer Edition) comes with a companion Python script that you simply upload to your conversation. It will automatically take advantage of the sandbox Python environment for editing longer code samples, and activate a handful of extra "slash commands" to make your life even easier.
• Pick Up Where You Left Off
  You can start a new chat without worrying about ChatGPT forgetting what you were doing in the previous one. The /memory slash command will download all your files, and a history of everything that's been done during your session. Simply upload it (along with the companion script) in a new session, and pick up where you left off.
• Install Custom Wheels
  Yeah, you heard me. Wheels for Python packages can be uploaded and installed automatically.
  • Note that your ChatGPT sandbox uses Python 3.8, on a VM with x86_64 architecture (as of this writing).
• Save Your Work
  Among other /slash commands, AutoExpert (Developer Edition) will save all your code snippets, dehydrate its memory of your requirements and the work it's done—even back up the code cells themselves. Then it zips it up, and you can quickly download your coding conversation history.
• File and Symbol Tree
  By keeping a running history along with a file/symbol tree at the end of each response, ChatGPT will always remember what it just did, and you'll always see what files still need work. It's even smart enough to handle breaking down complex requirements in a way that allows it to write code over multiple turns.
