Love reading this and learning about your experiments with Custom GPTs and Assistants! I understand that they have different use cases and deployment methods, but I’m curious... have you noticed any significant differences in behavior or functionality between the two? Also, have you worked document retrieval at all?

I’m working with students on experimenting with chatbots that have access to large corpora, such as hours of recorded transcripts from class lectures and video tutorials. One challenge I’ve encountered is understanding the system’s limits and actual behavior. How much source material is too much or too little? When is the chatbot actually searching through the documents versus relying on the model’s "pre-existing" knowledge? What is going on underneath the hood is a bit opaque to me, and I’ve struggled to achieve consistent results.

Would love to hear if any thoughts!

This is amazing! I also created a custom GPT for my AI for Film courses and I or the students interact with it throughout the class. It’s been inspiring and engaging for the students. Would love to chat more about this. Let’s find a time to zoom so I can show you the one I created and we can exchange notes.
