I have several custom GPT’s for years now, but since yesterday - 5.6 sol - none of them is functional.
The workflow is simple.
- I place an URL in the chat;
- GPT executes a custom action;
- It pings my own server;
- It sends that URL to it;
- My server fetches data using that URL;
- GPT receives the data;
- Done, GPT has the data I need in the chat.
This still works, I can see all actions executed in my server, but the GPT can’t use the data since 5.6 sol.
It does count the words, does analyze the retrieved data, but simple states “it doesn’t have access to it”.
I have used this flow for years, made 1.000s successful calls, and since 5.6 sol it suddenly doesn’t work.
There are two workarounds;
Open a default chat and mention the GPT by it’s @username - when embedded in a default chat the GPT suddenly had access to the data.
Force the custom GPT to ‘think’, since it doesn’t work when set to ‘instant’, but does work on ‘think’.
In a nutshell dedicated GPT’s with custom actions don’t work since 5.6 sol.
-edit1- This is about the web interface. In the Android app the custom GPT’s still work… for now.
-edit2- Every time I ask a question about the data (when retrieved via the workaround) it pings / contacts my server again. Every freaking time! It’s doesn’t remember anything, it looks like.
