- Tested on ChatGPT 4o and o1
- Custom instructions do not take up space in the context of each interaction with ChatGPT and do not affect the token limit for your requests and responses
- Depending on your needs, you can either fill out both customization sections - "What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?" and "How would you like ChatGPT to respond?" - simultaneously, or choose to complete only one of them
