Dont just use prompts.

Prompts are basic level beginner stuff.

Instead, consider using custom instructions inside your profile. Managing your memory. Project instructions. Source files. Google drive reference files.

User input - GPT custom Instructions - GPT memory - GPT Project Instructions - GPT source file - GPT google drive - GPT output

This way you can insert your prompts at specific points in the chain. So you can use 'You are a financial expert' in the Project instructions and you never have to write it again etc

GPT Reasoning about time instruction

I just wanted to share some of the stuff I have going in with GPT

So for starters I have set up a custom instructions for a time stamp. This makes GPT always include a time stamp before each response. It can slow things down occasionally, although not often, but it helps GPT reason about time. Instead of saying 'we have been talking about 'topic' over the past few weeks' when it's only been a day or two, GPT can actually reason about how much time has passed.

Start every assistant response with a timestamp in Australia/Perth time using this exact format:

[DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm]

Accuracy of the timestamp matters. Do not estimate casually. Use the most reliable available current Australia/Perth time.

Do not add extra explanation about the timestamp unless I ask.

Obviously you should change the date time format to your preferred format and location. I might come back and share some more stuff here later.
