Mastering ChatGPT – Custom GPTs, Advanced Tools, and Power-User Workflows By the end of this lesson, students should be able to: **Feature Availability Notice**: Features in this lesson generally require ChatGPT Plus. Availability, feature names, and interfaces change – verify current capabilities at openai.com. ChatGPT Memory. ChatGPT's memory feature (where enabled) allows ChatGPT to remember information from previous conversations – your role, preferences, recurring context – so you do not need to re-enter it every session. What memory can store (examples): Managing memory – critical privacy steps. Because memory persists across sessions, it requires active management: Never intentionally tell ChatGPT sensitive information for the purpose of saving it to memory (financial account details, health information, etc.). ChatGPT Vision – multimodal image analysis. Where available, ChatGPT can analyze uploaded images. Use cases: Vision capabilities vary by model version. Verify current vision capabilities at openai.com. ChatGPT Voice Mode. Where available, ChatGPT voice mode enables spoken conversation. Use cases: Voice mode availability and capabilities vary. Verify current status at openai.com. image generation Image Generation. Where available on your current plan, ChatGPT can generate images using OpenAI image generation technology. "Generate an image of [description]. Style: [realistic / illustrated / professional / abstract]. Format: [square / wide / tall]. Include: [specific elements]. Avoid: [things to exclude]." Practical use cases: Important limitations of AI-generated images: data analysis / file analysis tools. ChatGPT Plus users can upload data files (CSV, Excel, etc.) for direct analysis. ChatGPT can: "Here is a sales dataset [upload file]. (1) Summarize the key trends. (2) Which product category has the highest growth? (3) Are there any outliers in the data? (4) Generate a chart showing monthly revenue trend." Critical data analysis / file analysis tools verification. AI-generated data analyses can contain errors – incorrect calculations, wrong column references, or misinterpreted data types. Before presenting any ChatGPT data analysis: web search / browsing – current web information. Where web search / browsing is enabled, ChatGPT can search the web and incorporate current information. web search / browsing availability varies by model and session – look for indicators that ChatGPT used web search (cited sources) rather than training data. "Search the web for the most current information about [topic] and synthesize what you find. Cite your sources." Verify cited sources before relying on web-sourced information professionally. Before moving to the quiz, complete this short applied exercise: Instructor check: A strong answer should show practical use, human review, and awareness that ChatGPT output is assistance – not automatic truth or professional advice. question_id: auto-enhancement-lesson-36-qjamie001 question_type: short_answer difficulty: applied question: Write one prompt you could use after this lesson, then name one verification or human-review step you would apply before relying on the result. correct_answer: Answers will vary; a strong answer includes a clear task, relevant context, at least one constraint or desired format, and a realistic verification or human-review step based on the stakes of the task. answer_explanation: This applied question checks whether the student can transfer the lesson into real use while maintaining responsible AI habits.
