What you'll accomplish

By the end of this guide, you'll have a Custom GPT set up that already knows your lab's name, your client dentists, your standard materials, and your communication tone. Every time you need to write an email to a dental office, it drafts it in your lab's voice — without you having to explain context each time.

What you'll need

  • A ChatGPT Plus account ($20/month) — needed for Custom GPT creation
  • A list of your 5-10 most common dentist clients (names, any preferences)
  • Your lab's standard materials and case types
  • Time needed: 30-45 minutes to set up; 2 minutes per use after that
  • Cost: $20/month (ChatGPT Plus)
