The Fastest Way to Add Custom GPTs to Any Website
Are you looking to add your custom GPTs to a website? Look no further! In this article, we will show you step-by-step the fastest way to add your custom GPTs to any website. This has been a highly requested video because many of you have created awesome GPTs in the Builder but want to break them out of the chat GPT site and start using them in the real world. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't understand the enormous value of GPTs because they are missing a key part of OpenAI's vision that no one is talking about right now. So, by the end of the article, you'll not only know exactly how to put your GPTs onto websites, but you'll also understand exactly how OpenAI has really laid out the path for all of us to build and sell GPTs that integrate into every part of our world.
The Difference Between Chat GPTs and Assistant API GPTs
Before we dive into the steps of adding custom GPTs to a website, it's important to understand the difference between the GPTs that you can build on the chat GPT website and the GPTs that you can build with OpenAI's Assistant API. The GPTs that you can create on the chat GPT site are best understood as consumer toys. They are cool little gimmicky things that allow people to come on and build these GPTs and put them on a marketplace. However, you need to understand that that is just one area and one side of this entire equation. The other side is the Assistant API and the real powerful assistance that you can create and operate programmatically.
The chat GPTs that you build on the chat GPT website cannot be operated programmatically. You can set them up, you can save them in your little sidebar, but you can't actually start to call those programmatically. That's what the Assistant API is for. This is the business-facing product, so we have the consumer side, then we have the business-facing side of this GPTs product, and that is created through the Assistant API.
What the Assistant API allows you to do is all of the things you do on the chat GPT Builder side of things but allows you to set things up programmatically. Once you have created an assistant with this, you can then make calls to it in the same way that you used to make calls to the chat GPT API. You can create your assistant, you can give it knowledge, you can give it functions, and once that's created, you can call that assistant and ask for responses from it and use those within your application.
Creating a Custom Knowledge Chatbot
Now that we understand the difference between chat GPTs and Assistant API GPTs, let's dive into creating a custom knowledge chatbot. In this case, the custom knowledge chatbot is going to be a sales rep training assistant. We're going to give it custom knowledge on training documentation for our business so that the sales reps and the junior sales reps, in particular, can talk to this chatbot to get information about the business on what offers they can sell, how much things cost, what methods they should use, etc.
The actual implementation of this is going to consist of two parts. We are going to create this functionality by firstly creating a repet that creates our assistance for us and manages the conversations back and forth. Then we're going to connect that repet to Voiceflow as our front end. We're going to make API calls from Voiceflow to our repet so they can talk back and forth with each other, and then we can start getting our conversations through a nice chat interface that anyone can use on our website.
How to Add Custom GPTs to Any Website
Now that we have created our custom knowledge chatbot, let's dive into how to add it to any website. Firstly, we need to clone the repet. As always, we've done all of the code and we've written everything for you so you can just plug and play our repet and copy it, and you can get up and running in a couple of minutes.
Next, we need to create the chatbot that allows us to interact with our system programmatically via the API endpoints that we have set up on our repet. We're going to be using my favorite bot building platform called Voiceflow, which is something I use daily at my AI development company as well. Once we have created the chatbot, we can take it and put it onto our website.
To add the chatbot to our website, we need to click on the publish button in the top right of Voiceflow. Then we need to click on the embed widget settings on the screen. We have three parts: installation, appearance, and customization. All we need to do is copy the code and paste it into the website code just before the end in the script section.
And there you have it! You have successfully added your custom GPTs to any website.
