Use your profile with ChatGPT
OpenAI · profile fit: excellent · official site ↗
Where it goes: Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions (persistent), a Project's instructions, or a Custom GPT's system instructions.
Steps
- Copy your profile (Compact for the Custom Instructions boxes; Standard/Full elsewhere).
- Open Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions.
- Paste the identity/communication half into “What would you like ChatGPT to know about you?” and the answer-style half into “How would you like ChatGPT to respond?”, or paste the Compact prompt into the response box alone.
- For a dedicated setup, create a Project (or Custom GPT) and paste your Standard or Full profile into its instructions.
- Personalized agents from your AI Team work best as a Project or Custom GPT: one team member per project.
Tips
- Custom Instructions fields have character limits, this is exactly what the Compact size is for.
- Memory can add its own notes about you; your profile stays the authoritative version.

UI paths reflect our last review (2026-08-10), menus move; the concept (persistent instructions vs per-chat paste) is the stable part.
