🧠 How to Build Your First Chat Pack
(AKA Your GPT’s Brain in a Box)
If you’re building a Custom GPT, your Chat Pack is the engine behind its intelligence. It’s not just about uploading “a few PDFs” — it’s about crafting a precise, high-value knowledge base your GPT can draw from to respond like you.
This guide shows you exactly how to build, structure, and reference your first Chat Pack — the right way.
🧰 What Is a Chat Pack?
A Chat Pack is your GPT’s knowledge base — the files it uses to:
- Answer questions with accuracy
- Match your voice and strategy
- Share only the tools, offers, and methods you trust
Think of it as the “AI library” for your GPT — a digital folder filled with SOPs, frameworks, swipe files, scripts, case studies, and reference docs.
✅ Why a Chat Pack Matters
Without a Chat Pack, your GPT relies on public data. With one, it becomes:
- 🔒 Brand-specific (your systems only)
- 🧠 Smarter (it references your own examples)
- 🗣️ On-brand (tone, format, logic that matches you)
- 🧾 Repeatable (new team members or clients get the same info)
📂 What Files Should Go in a Chat Pack?
Organize your Chat Pack into 4 high-performance categories:
1. 🧠 Assessments & Scorecards
Help the GPT assess users based on where they are.
Examples:
- Features Assessment
- Systems Assessment
- Copywriting Questionnaire
- Readiness Scorecards
Use to guide logic like:
“If the user scores below 50, suggest Build Mode.”
2. ✍️ Copy & Messaging
Preloaded templates = faster outputs.
Examples:
- Funnel & Website Copy
- Email Templates
- DM Sequences
- Hook libraries
- Ad swipe files
Use to help your GPT generate content in your voice.
3. 🔁 SOPs & Process Docs
This is the “how we do it” library.
Examples:
- Client onboarding steps
- Launch plans
- System setup checklists
- Internal delivery frameworks
GPT can now walk clients or teammates through each system like a project manager.
4. 💬 Examples, Case Studies & Prompts
Help the GPT mirror successful responses.
Examples:
- Before/after funnels
- Coaching call transcripts
- Offer breakdowns
- Framework cheat sheets
- Prompt playbooks
These allow the GPT to model excellence.
📦 Chat Pack Best Practices
✅ File Types:
- Use PDF, TXT, DOC, or DOCX
- Avoid image-only PDFs or files with tables that may break
✅ Naming Conventions:
Name files clearly so you can reference them later:
- Systems_Assessment.pdf - Email_Swipe_File.docx - Funnel_Examples.pdf - Team_Onboarding_Checklist.docx
✅ Group by Function:
Put all Chat Pack files in a single folder grouped by:
- [Assessment]
- [Copy & Content]
- [Systems/SOPs]
- [Examples]
Then zip the folder or upload them individually.
🧾 Referencing Chat Pack Files in Your GPT Instructions
In your GPT's instruction prompt, tell it:
“Use the uploaded files as your primary knowledge base. Always reference these before responding. If a question relates to systems, copy, or assessments — use examples or frameworks found in the Chat Pack first.”
Also be specific:
- For assessments: Reference “Systems_Assessment.pdf” to diagnose stage. - For funnel copy: Pull structure from “Funnel_Examples.pdf”. - For onboarding: Follow steps from “Team_Onboarding_Checklist.docx”.
🧠 Sample Instruction Snippet:
“You are an OS Business Architect. You help online business owners build systems, funnels, and messaging based on the GPT OS method. Your answers must be structured, outcome-based, and reference the uploaded files labeled ‘Chat Pack’ — especially assessments, templates, and SOPs.”
🔐 Pro Tip: Build Chat Packs for Different Audiences
Create versions of your Chat Pack for:
- 🧑💼 Internal Team (training, delivery, fulfillment)
- 🛠️ Clients (systems, setup, messaging)
- 📢 Public (lead magnets, content creation)
Each GPT can be trained with a different Chat Pack, depending on use case.
📌 Final Checklist: Your First Chat Pack
