Leave your job

I’ve coached hundreds of people through career changes. I even wrote a book on how to upskill and change careers (to beat the robots). So my first GPT bot had to be a career change chatbot.

My first GPT is called Leave your job. The focus of this chatbot is helping people explore new paths by identifying their transferable skills. Finding your transferable skills is tricky for the best of us, so this chatbot aims to help. It’ll ask about the user’s current job to understand what their skills are, and then recommend jobs based on what they like and don’t like.

It’s designed to be a rabbit hole of career exploration. If you want to go deep exploring all the possibilities, you can go deep. If you just want to get a few ideas, you can do that too.

What I learned

Building GPT-powered chatbots no longer require any skill in prompting. In fact, Open AI has made it easier for anyone to build bots. The GPT builder interface includes a chatbot that you can build with. That’s right. You build a bot using a bot. Which is wild.

No prompt engineering skill required. Does that mean we’ll still need prompt engineers? Yes but not for all use cases. I’ll explore that theme in later builds.

Also, calling them “GPTs” just feels awkward. I’m struggling with writing GPTs, and fluctuating between chatbots, GPT-powered bots, generative bots, and more.

Amazingly, Open AI made the concept of chatbots sound even more robotic by naming them GPTs, despite releasing a product that makes chatbots sound more human. Wild.
