OpenAI has once again sparked a wave of excitement with its latest breakthrough. Imagine having a personal army of AI agents, each skillfully crafted to perform specific tasks at your command.
This isn’t just fantasy, it’s what’s happening with GPT Mentions. , although still in its beta stages and accessible to only a select few, is not just an advancement; it’s a revolution in how we interact with AI.
We’re not just talking about a single, all-encompassing AI model, but a dynamic assembly of specialized AI agents, ready to transform how we handle our digital tasks.
1 What is GPT Mentions?
GPT Mentions is a groundbreaking feature for ChatGPT, allowing users to “@mention” custom GPTs within a conversation, similar to messaging platforms like Slack or Discord. It’s currently in beta and available to a limited audience.
Aligned with OpenAI’s vision of an “army of agents,” this feature enables specialized GPT models to perform specific tasks, enhancing ChatGPT’s functionality.
For example, TTS11Labs GPT can simplify tasks by converting chat entries into audio with various voices and emotions.
This integration allows for extensive customization, where you can program your GPTs with unique actions or knowledge. It simulates interaction with multiple expert agents, each adept in different tasks, like MailGPT for email management or CalendarGPT for scheduling.
GPT Mentions is envisioned by OpenAI as a central hub, connecting various GPTs to efficiently manage diverse tasks, paving the way for advanced AI-powered automation and task management.
2 Key Features of GPT Mentions
- Multi-Model Interaction Within a Single Window: GPT Mentions allows seamless communication with various specialized GPT models in one chat interface, eliminating the need to switch between different chat windows.
- Custom Task Automation: This feature enables you to automate specific tasks using custom GPTs. For example, NotionGPT can be used to directly save and summarize chat entries into Notion, enhancing task efficiency.
- Integration with External Applications: GPT Mentions offers integration capabilities with external applications like Zapier, allowing you to create custom workflows that connect ChatGPT with other tools and software.
- Convenience in Information Management: It simplifies managing information by enabling a range of actions within the ChatGPT interface, such as data summarization and direct addition to documents or databases.
- Enhanced Interactivity and User-Friendly Experience: The feature provides a more interactive and user-friendly experience, simulating a team of virtual assistants available through simple @mentions, each skilled in different tasks
3 How to Use GPT Mentions
Using GPT Mentions is straightforward and efficient, enhancing your interaction with various GPT models within ChatGPT. Here’s a simple guide on how to effectively utilize this feature:
Access ChatGPT Plus: First, ensure you have access to ChatGPT Plus.
Start a Conversation with Any GPT: Begin by starting a regular conversation with any GPT or the regular ChatGPT4 chat on the platform. This could be based on your current requirement, such as a general query or a specific task.
Use the “@” Symbol to Mention Another GPT: While in the conversation, use the “@” symbol followed by the name of another GPT you wish to engage with.
Switch Between Multiple GPT Models Seamlessly: You have the flexibility to mention multiple GPTS in the same chat. This allows you to receive responses from different specialized agents or experts, all within the same chat window.
4 Demonstrating GPT Mentions in Action
In this section, we’ll demonstrate how to use GPT Mentions in combination with TTS11Labs to create a voice for a YouTube short script. We’ll go through each step from generating the script using ChatGPT to applying TTSLabs GPT for the voiceover.
Step 1: Generating the Script with ChatGPT
First, we need a script for our YouTube short. To generate this, we use ChatGPT with a specific prompt:
Prompt to ChatGPT:
ChatGPT then generates a script based on this prompt.
Step 2: Using GPT Mentions to Employ TTS 11Labs
Once we have our script, we move on to creating the voiceover using TTS11Labs. Here’s how we incorporate GPT Mentions for this task:
Action in Chat: In the same ChatGPT window where our script was generated, we use the GPT Mentions feature. We type:
Step 3: Receiving and Reviewing the Audio File
TTS 11Labs, after receiving the script through GPT Mentions, processes the text and generates an audio file in the desired voice and emotion. We review this audio file to ensure it aligns with our expectations for tone and clarity.
Note :To introduce pauses in tts11labs, you have these options:
- Using Break Syntax: The most reliable method is the
<break time="1.5s" />
syntax. It adds a pause of a specified length. Example:"Let me think." <break time="1s" /> "Okay, I have an idea."
- Using Dashes or Ellipses: A less precise method involves using dashes
-
or ellipses...
. These add pauses and can also convey hesitation or uncertainty. Examples:"Well - I'm not sure."
(short pauses) and"I'm thinking... maybe tomorrow."
(longer pause with hesitation).
Step 4: Finalizing the YouTube Short
With the audio file ready, we can now finalize our YouTube short. For the video editing, you can use a free video editor like CapCut, which offers a user-friendly interface and a range of editing tools to seamlessly integrate the voiceover with your video content.
5 How to Add Actions to Your Own GPTs
adding actions to your GPTs through Zapier AI is a powerful way to automate tasks and enhance your GPT’s capabilities. Here’s a brief guide on how to do this :
- Access GPT Configuration: Log into your ChatGPT account and navigate to the ‘Configure’ tab. This is where you can tweak your GPT’s settings.
- Navigate to ‘Actions’ Option: In the ‘Configure‘ tab, find the ‘Actions’ section. Here, you can enable your GPT to interact with external apps and perform various tasks.
- Premium Account Requirement: Ensure you have GPT plus, to access advanced features.
- Import Zapier URL into GPT Configuration: Obtain the URL provided by Zapier for integration and import it into your GPT’s configuration in the ‘Configure’ tab.
- Write Instructions for GPTs: Prepare clear instructions for your GPT to understand and execute Zapier AI Actions, and add them to your GPT’s configuration.
For a more comprehensive guide on setting up and using Zapier AI Actions with your GPT, including detailed steps on creating actions within Zapier and integrating these actions with your GPT, please refer to our detailed article: How To Use Zapier AI for GPTs Task Automation.
