## What Jamie wrote

This is a good overview of ways you can use GPTs. I also appreciated that he shared the detailed prompt that he gave the "Feedback Wizard" GPT that he created. I created a [GTD Coach](https://www.thingelstad.com/2023/11/12/i-created-my.html) GPT but I just followed ChatGPTs prompts in the GPT Builder. Now I want to take another run at it using a much more detailed prompt.
