Bring back system roles in chat.openai (behavior of JSONs are blocked now)

Hi there,

Before ChatGPT allowed running of system roles/messages in the chat.openai portal, but this is now blocked. The best way I can describe this is here:

Using interactive prompts is now quite a chore – is there any way to allow this functionality again?

I wanted to share something I’ve been experimenting with recently using a “system prompt” (not in the API sense, in the regular GPT window)

You can build some really cool interactive prompts that guide the user / yourself with only a few lines, and it makes working with GPT a breeze for anything.

Building the Prompt

Add this to your conversation to get started.

  • ''parameterized prompt in a json codeblock with function calling, add indent 1, 2, for commands, descrips, and also add robust functionality in terms of user onboarding for a research paper generator (use /whitepaper /webpilot /zapier /showme)"

template:

Give me a parameterized prompt in a json codeblock with function calling, add indent 1, 2, for commands, descrips, and also add robust functionality in terms of user onboarding for a {TOOL/PERSONA} (use {LIST_OF_COMMANDS})"

Sharing and Using the Prompt

Make sure you turn on the plugins you defined commands for. Copy the full json from GPT , and add “START” to the end. You can chain together the 3 plugins, but be mindful of the time it takes to complete each step. Have GPT chunk its responses back in sections for better success.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any q’s
