Crafting Guide 

Now, it’s time to craft some Agents. As an example for this step-by-step tutorial I chose to create a Czech language Agent because why not? Having in mind that GPts are best at creative tasks I would like to add some gamification to my learning process and add quizzes and tests. Tests are cool, right? 😁 And for OneAgent - as an expert in factual responses I will create an interactive book of Czech language rules, so I will not waste my time turning pages to find what I want. 

GPTs creating process

Step 1: Going to the right place

To start creating a custom GPT we need to go to their Explore page. 

Step 2: Creating an Agent

To create a custom GPTs go to the “My GPTs” section and click on “Create a GPT”.

‍

Step 3: Adding a Name and sources

After we clicked on “Create a GPT” we now can see the interface:

Apparently, to create it you can use a prompt or use a “Confugue” tab:

‍

Here, on the “Configure” tab it’s pretty straightforward what we need to add and not to think much of how to generate a good prompt in the “Create” tab. But, let’s give it a try and use a prompt. My prompt is:

“Create a Czech language tutor who will help me to learn Czech in a fun and interactive way (tests and quizzes, and pictures). I am going to spend at least 20 minutes a day learning Czech.“

After a moment of configuring he asked me about the name and created a cute avatar for my Agent, nice! 

Ok, next he asked me if the Agent should be friendly or serious and about gamification process:

Look at the “Updating GPT” loader, very cute! After this we are set up and the Agent filled everything up in the “Configure” tab by itself:

You can always make changes, and don't forget to explore the 'Upload Files' feature. Interestingly, it allows for the uploading of various file types, including documents, PDFs, pictures, videos, and audios. For instance, I uploaded a book of Czech language rules. However, it's important to note that this feature has a limitation, allowing a maximum of only 20 files.

‍

Ok, I added a Czech Grammar book for now, checked for Web and Images and not for Code Interpreter.

There is also an “Add Actions” section but let’s skip it for now as we don’t need anything complex today.

That’s it, the GPT Agent is ready to use. It wasn’t complicated, the process was followed by assistance, it took me about 5 - 6 interactions with the Assistant. 

Regarding further fine-tuning, you can customize conversation starters according to your preference, adding or removing them as needed. This allows for greater control over how interactions with the AI begin, tailoring them to fit specific contexts or user needs.

However, any setting of custom answers or changing the visual appearance of GPT interfaces is generally limited. These fine-tuning options focus more on guiding the AI’s behavior through prompts, rather than altering its user interface or scripting specific responses.

‍

OneAgent creating process

Step 1: Going to the right place

For OneAgent we can go to their Agent Playground. 

Step 2: Naming the Agent

For OneAgent, the interface is intuitive, starting with clicking ‘Add’ in the Agents section. The middle section is dedicated to the sources and adding responses manually. The right section is an Agent itself and its settings. 

Let’s name it “Czech Language Grammar” and set a friendly tone of voice. So, basically the same thing GPT asked me in a conversation. 

 You can upload URLs, various file types, including PDFs, docs, audio, and video, or insert plain text. I found a big Grammar book, so let’s use it.

‍

Step 3: Converse

It’s ready to engage. For starters, you can choose from any suggested questions or ask your own. 

‍

This is it: minimum interactions and fine-tuning. 

It worth noting, that OneAgent also has a wide range of fine-tuning options, like:

• Setting a welcome message and profile information
• Adjusting access levels: public, private, or with editing options
• Customizing the tone of voice
• Modifying or disabling suggested questions
• Defining the Agent's identity, including their goals and characteristics

• Selecting color schemes, with options for light and dark modes and primary colors
• Choosing the widget type: side or bubble
• Configuring the widget's location on desktop/mobile interfaces (right or left)

‍

Both agents were straightforward to create. However, OneAgent's process was notably more direct due to its intuitive nature.

‍

Testing the Agents

Now, with everything set up, let's test them in action. I asked both agents: 'Tell me about Infinitiv in Czech language.'

Surprisingly, my Czech GPTs didn’t find the answer, even though I added the same book to both agents. OneAgent, on the other hand, provided the answer quickly, complete with a fact-checking option. Clicking on it led me directly to the source, ensuring transparency about where the information came from:

However, custom GPTs provided its own answer, which was interesting but not verifiable from the book:

This means you might need to fact-check GPTs' responses independently. I noted that GPTs sometimes gave different or even incorrect answers to the same question and occasionally displayed network errors.

Next, I asked: 'What Czech words can be analyzed into three elements?' 

This time, both agents provided accurate answers, using the same sentence examples as in the book.

Testing GPTs' ability to generate creative content, I asked it to quiz me on slang. Just for the sake of justice let’s ask the same OneAgent:

OneAgent, however, did not respond to this question, indicating its focus on delivering relevant information within its knowledge base. I had added a section on slang phrases, so OneAGent could generate content on it.

So, while GPTs showed versatility and creativity, OneAgent demonstrated its strength in providing reliable, fact-based answers.

Conclusion

In this exploration of AI agents, GPTs and OneAgents have each demonstrated their distinct strengths. GPTs excel in creative tasks, offering versatility and adaptability, though sometimes this comes at the cost of accuracy. On the other hand, OneAgents shine in delivering reliable, fact-based answers, sourced directly from the content provided. This ensures trustworthiness and instills confidence in me, the creator, that I’m equipping my customers with a quality tool. This comparison highlights the importance of choosing an AI agent that aligns with specific needs, be it for creative flexibility or factual accuracy, to effectively harness their full potential.
