Genesis: Supercharging the ChatGPT Experience

Welcome to Genesis, a platform born from a year of rigorous AI exploration and the desire to transcend the limitations of ChatGPT. This guide introduces you to what I envisioned as the ultimate AI companion. Genesis is my response to those moments of wishing for more—more features, more flexibility, more power. It's a tool I've crafted and honed to not just assist in my projects but to evolve alongside them. As we continue to use and grow with Genesis, expect a dynamic expansion of capabilities, mirroring the ever-advancing landscape of AI that we're journeying through together. Here's to the first step into a world where our collective input shapes the future of AI interaction. Let's begin.

To mark this milestone, I'm inviting you to access Genesis with all its cutting-edge features — including GPT-4, GPT-Vision, and DALL·E 3 — absolutely free. Your participation at this beta stage is not as mere users but as integral co-creators. Your insights and feedback are the keystones of the Genesis evolution. Engage with us, push the boundaries of what you believe AI can achieve, and let's collaboratively refine this experience to perfection.

Custom Instructions & Variables

When you create Custom Instructions in Genesis, using variables like {{Brand Info}} can make your instruction adaptable for different scenarios. This is especially useful if you want to use the same instruction for multiple brands or contexts. Here's how to incorporate variables into your Custom Instructions:

Create a New Custom Instruction:

• Click on the input field and type "/" to open the custom instructions menu.

• Select "+ New Custom Instruction.

Use Variables in Your Instruction:

• Name your instruction (e.g., “Press Release Wizard”).
• In the Description, write something like “Generates tailored press releases based on provided brand information.”
• In the Custom Instructions content, include variables within double curly braces where you want to input dynamic content. For example:

You are a skilled press release writer for {{Brand Info}}.        

Input Fields:

When you use the instruction, Genesis will prompt you to fill in the details for each variable. For instance, if you have {{Brand Info}} as a variable, a custom input field will appear for you to enter the relevant information for the specific brand you're writing about.

Providing Context and Examples:

You can directly include context and examples in the instruction itself, or use variables to insert different examples for different uses.

For context, you might add:

The following brand details should be highlighted: {{Brand Details}}.        

For examples, you might add:

Here is an example press release to emulate: {{Press Release Example}}        

Flexibility of Custom Inputs:

• While custom inputs are helpful for reusing instructions, they’re optional. You can choose to include all necessary details directly in the custom instruction itself if you prefer.

Saving and Using Your Instruction:

• Save your custom instruction.
• When you select it from the custom instructions menu, you’ll be prompted to fill in each variable with the relevant information for the task at hand.

By using variables, you create a flexible framework that can be easily adapted for different brands or projects without needing to rewrite the entire instruction. This efficiency is perfect for those who need to generate press releases for multiple clients or their own diverse set of brands.

Prompts: Engaging with Genesis in Conversations

Prompts in Genesis are used to steer conversations with the AI. They can be pre-set commands or questions that guide the AI in providing the type of response you need. Here's how to effectively use prompts in your interactions with Genesis:

Initiate a Conversation: Start by entering the main chat interface where you'll communicate with Genesis.

Accessing Prompts: Within a conversation, type "/" to bring up your saved prompts. This will also give you the option to create a new one on the fly.

Creating a New Prompt:

• Click on "+ New Prompt" after you've typed "/".

• Define your prompt by giving it a Name that succinctly describes its function (e.g., “Launch Press Release Query”).
• In the Description, summarize what this prompt will accomplish (e.g., “Initiate the creation of a press release with input fields for brand-specific information”).
• For the Prompt content, use variables within double curly braces to create input fields for dynamic content that will be used in the conversation. For example:

Please write a press release for {{Brand Name}} detailing {{Event Description}}.        

Using a Prompt:

• After saving your new prompt, it will be available in the list when you type "/" during any conversation.
• Select the prompt, and input fields will appear in the conversation for each variable you've included. Fill these in with the relevant information.

• Once submitted, Genesis will use the information provided in the variables to generate a response or perform the task related to the prompt.

By utilizing prompts with variables in your Genesis conversations, you can efficiently guide the AI to produce the desired output, making your interactions smoother and more productive.

Folders for Prompts: Navigating and Organizing

Folders for Prompts in Genesis help you maintain an organized collection of prompts for different purposes or projects. Here’s how to navigate and manage your prompts:

Accessing Prompts and Folders:

Creating and Managing Folders:

• In the sidebar, you can create a new folder by selecting the "+ New Folder" button.

• Name the folder with a descriptive title that corresponds to the prompts you'll store in it, such as "Social Media" or "Marketing"

Organizing Prompts into Folders:

• Drag and drop prompts into these folders to categorize them based on their use case or project.

• You can also use the edit options next to each prompt to rename them for clarity.

Favoriting Prompts:

• For prompts that you use frequently, you can mark them as favorites for quicker access. Favorite prompts will appear at the top of your sidebar or in a designated 'Favorites' section.

Editing Prompts:

• If you need to modify a prompt, use the edit option next to the prompt’s name in the sidebar. Here you can update the name, description, or content of the prompt.

By utilizing the Folders for Prompts feature, you can streamline your workflow, ensuring that the right prompts are always at your fingertips. This organization method enhances efficiency, especially when dealing with a large number of prompts for various functions within Genesis.
