I facilitate the business acceleration and scaling course at the postgraduate level (MBA). As part of the class, I’ve developed a methodological framework for startup acceleration, which consists of a series of steps. Each step includes exercises and templates covering everything from startup idea conceptualization, user interview methodologies and structures, business model development, MVP creation, validation, pitching, and more.

To enhance learning, I’ve developed a custom GPT that provides guidance and support for each of these steps. This has significantly contributed to my students' learning, experimentation, and progress. Now, they come to class with concrete advancements and very specific questions, allowing me to focus on providing higher-value mentorship as an educator.

I made Custom GPT for my final exam to prepare and I score “A”

I’ve built several for my students to guide them with their writing, and to study from. I use 4o to craft a “meta prompt” for a Chain of Reasoning prompt for o3. o3 then generates a prompt of less than 8000 characters for my custom GPT. My students like the “coaching style” personality. I have it coded so that it refuses to rewrite sections if the students ask. I actually like NotebookLM for study help because of the podcast style overview you can generate.

Due to my grandchildren losing so much education time during Covid, I created the "Math Mastermind" GPT. The AI tool has now been used over 25K.

I have also created GPT's for chemistry and biology too.

I like Arpita's journaling custom gpt idea!

But does the gpt actually store the journal entry is some database and able to retrieve entries from it when asked? I thought it's all stored in the current chat's context window which means eventually it will get full and he user has to start a new chat session and lose all their entries.

I did this for my 4 subjects in this semester, share it with my group so they can do the assignments faster and precise to what the requirements. Its a game changer for students i reckon

I recently ran an experimental study with 105 postgraduate engineering students to explore how GPTs can support experiential learning. Students in my Engineering Risk Management course were split into three cohorts, each using a different method to analyse a real-world project for a group assignment:

Cohort 1 used Alrik 2.0, a custom GPT simulating a project sponsor, built with OpenAI's framework and trained on ALR-specific data.

Cohort 2 conducted traditional online research.

Cohort 3 consulted a real subject matter expert, the project manager.

Each of the 15 student groups developed a risk management plan using only their assigned approach. Alrik 2.0 was carefully designed to promote inquiry and critical thinking, not spoon-feed answers, drawing on the PMBOK guide and real project materials. It was the second iteration, refined from Alrik 1.0 based on tests for tone and realism.
