Build Your Personal AI Workspace from Scratch
Stop starting from zero every time you open ChatGPT. In this mission, you'll build a Custom GPT tailored specifically to your daily work, complete with saved instructions, uploaded reference files, and the right tools turned on. Think of it as hiring a digital assistant who already knows how you work before you say a word.

Build something you can actually use
By the end of this mission, you will have a fully configured Custom GPT that reflects your real work context, responds in your preferred style, and is ready to use every single day, no more re-explaining yourself from scratch.
When you are done, your submission should show the finished artifact, how it works, and what you learned while testing it.
