Islamabad, Jan 18: OpenAI has recently announced a major update to its flagship AI chatbot, ChatGPT, bringing new customization options that allow users to have a more personalized experience.
This update, which was revealed on Friday, introduces a redesigned user interface aimed at giving users greater control over their interactions with the chatbot. With this update, users can now select personality traits such as “chatty” or “Gen Z,” allowing them to fine-tune the tone and style of the chatbot’s responses to better suit their preferences.
The rollout of these new features will begin with the ChatGPT web interface and the Windows desktop app, with plans to extend to mobile users and those on MacOS in the coming weeks. This release follows a curious incident the previous week when some users were briefly able to access these customization options, only to lose access shortly after.
This brief availability suggested that the features might have been released earlier than planned, providing a glimpse into the update before the official announcement.
The update enhances the chatbot’s custom instructions interface, which was previously part of a limited feature. Users can now input personal details such as their preferred name, profession, and other key information, allowing ChatGPT to better tailor responses.
The personality traits feature, which lets users specify whether they want the chatbot to be more formal, casual, or align with certain generational characteristics, adds another layer of personalization.

While the new interface offers a more intuitive and user-friendly design, it doesn’t mark a significant technical shift. The update mainly refines the existing use of prompt engineering, where users provide initial instructions to shape the chatbot’s behavior. This method continues to drive the chatbot’s responses but is now more accessible and customizable through the new interface.
Users can still input detailed preferences, but the process is more streamlined and less cumbersome than before, making it easier for users to personalize their ChatGPT experience without technical knowledge.
Overall, these changes signify OpenAI’s commitment to providing a more flexible and personalized AI assistant, ensuring that users can have an experience that aligns with their individual needs and communication styles.
