Want the most personal AI experience possible? Use AI Assistants, your own personal AI with BotPenguin!

What are AI Assistants?

AI Assistants in ChatGPT are special versions of the chatbot that are designed to help with specific tasks, like teaching you something, writing code, planning trips, or giving creative ideas. They are like mini-experts built into ChatGPT that you can choose from, depending on what you need help with. Each Assistant is made to do one type of job really well, so you don’t have to explain everything from scratch every time.
