Multiple “custom instructions”

ChatGPT Feature requests
1

Please allow for multiple “custom instructions” profiles/ settings to exist, so that i can have multiple “custom instructions” and not have to erase and then write new “custom instructions”. This way, i can select which “custom instruction” is active for new chats.
Also, please increase the word limit for custom instructions to maybe 5000?

Thank you

I absolutely agree with this request!

  1. Please add the ability to save multiple custom instructions, with the option to select one as “Active” while keeping others saved but disabled.
  2. Increase the character limits in both fields

You could have the AI rephrase your language: "rewrite these instructions to an AI, replacing words with synonyms of the shortest length possible, remove unnecessary stop words and articles, to reduce file size.

Or you can use other character-based compression. Custom instruction text that went from 1463 to 540: (and yet internally from 287 to 456 tokens)

The custom instruction area should have another button (save and new conversation) to reinforce that you can’t continue.

Yes I would agree openai needs to add multiple custom instructions.
It would only take a programmer 15 minutes to add…
Why isn’t done yet?

Now if you use openai for different types of projects - most painful to have to change custom instructions to suit the project at hand.

I also want to express my need for this feature. I use chatGPT for a variety of tasks and multiple kinds of instruction sets are needed for each. For instance every morning I ask for an hourly plan from ChatGPT and I have to repeat the same instruction every time. Then I want to engage in a deep-level discussion I use another instruction. Then for research something else, etc.

UX suggestion: Add an expandable “Custom Instructions” item to the list menu of models (Default, with Bing, Plugins, Dall-e 3, etc.) and let users combine custom instructions with different models/plugins.
