How To Clone Yourself With AI and Build Your Own Custom GPT Employee I sarahcordiner.com

In my AI Yourself workshop, I take you behind the scenes of some seriously sexy AI tools that are going to supercharge your productivity and automate a ton of your day-to-day business tasks.

One of the coolest things I show you? How to create your very own custom ChatGPT bots—yep, your own little AI employees. These aren’t just any bots, these are clever little cloners that you train to replicate your knowledge, your voice, and your style.

Once you’ve set them up, they can handle your emails, reply to your social media DMs, provide top-notch customer service, and even support your coaching clients like a pro—without you lifting a finger. It’s like duplicating yourself without the cloning machine!

This isn’t about replacing you—it’s about expanding your reach, freeing up your time, and delivering better service, faster. And inside the Legends Lab, I show you step-by-step how to set them up, train them, and put them to work in your business using Tekmatix (of course!).

Key highlights include:

  • Custom GPTs: Sarah guides attendees step-by-step in creating custom AI bots trained on personal content like website materials, blogs, social posts, and transcripts.
  • Automation and Efficiency: AI bots automate mundane tasks, reply to emails, manage emotional responses professionally, and maintain consistent brand communication.
  • Social Media Automation: Tekmatix platform automates lead generation by automatically replying to social media comments and messaging followers, effectively converting engagement into leads.
  • AI Employees: Demonstrated AI receptionist bots can answer phone calls, provide information, book appointments, and forward messages, significantly reducing operational costs.
  • Future-Proofing Business: Sarah emphasizes the necessity of continuously learning and adapting to rapidly evolving AI technology to stay competitive.

Alright, my loves, let me leave you with this final little mic drop moment…

Now that you’ve got your hands on these AI tools—don’t just sit on them like they’re your nan’s fine china, only to be used on special occasions. Implement them. Right now. Today. Because let me tell you, this is not just tech for tech’s sake. These tools have the power to utterly transform the way you run your business.

We’re talking about serious up-levelling here—scaling your operations, boosting your productivity, reaching more people, serving them faster, and giving them a seamless, jaw-droppingly good experience from start to finish. That, my friends, is how you stay ahead of the game, create freedom in your business, and serve more people without burning yourself out.

So go forth, get your tech on, and start putting these AI gems to work in your world. You’ve got this, and I’m here cheering you on every step of the way.

And of course, if you’re in the Legends Lab, make sure you go check out the “Tech & Automation” section where I walk you through all of this in step-by-step trainings with templates, scripts, automations, and more.

How to Build Your Own Custom GPT

Step-by-Step Guide: How To Build Your Own Custom GPT

While AI tools like ChatGPT are incredibly powerful, custom GPTs take it a step further by enabling you to shape ChatGPT to fit your exact needs.

Whether you need help writing emails, generating reports, or anything in between, a well-trained GPT can save you hours. With custom GPTs, you can:

  • Train ChatGPT on your own data for more relevant, personalized outputs
  • Set custom instructions & additional capabilities to align with your workflow & preferences

🛠️ What You’ll Need

  • A paid ChatGPT Plus, Teams, Pro, or Enterprise Plan
  • A clear use case (e.g., sales, content writing, or custom support)

✅ Steps for building your custom GPT

Step 1: Access the GPT Builder

Login to ChatGPT

Click ‘Explore GPTs’ on the left side panel

Select ‘Create’ in the upper right corner to start building

Step 2: Decide How To Build Your GPT

‘Create’ tab: Build interactively via back-and-forth conversation

‘Configure’ tab: Manually fill in each section for precise control

Step 3: Start Building

Specify the following:

  • Name: A descriptive name based on the GPT’s function (e.g., ‘Sales Assistant GPT’ or ‘Blog Writer GPT’)
  • Description: Briefly explain what your GPT does (e.g., ‘This GPT helps draft marketing emails in my brand’s tone’)
  • Instructions: Be clear and specific (e.g., ‘drafts marketing emails’, ‘Helps our sales team streamline outreach’)
  • Tone & style: Define the tone (e.g., ‘conversational’, ‘emphasize urgency’)

Step 4: Train It On Your Data

You can upload up to 10 documents per GPT, such as:

  • PDFs (e.g., employee handbooks)
  • Spreadsheets (e.g., sales reports)
  • Text files (e.g., past blog posts)
Pro tip: Avoid huge files—large documents can slow down responses. Break them into smaller files if necessary.

Step 5: Choose Privacy Settings

You can choose from three settings:

  • Private: Only you can use your GPT
  • Link-Only: Share access with others by sharing a link
  • Public: List your GPT in the GPT Store

Step 6: Update it

Refine the instructions and upload more documents if your GPT’s responses aren’t perfect at first.
