How to Build Your First Custom GPT

Generic AI tools can churn out “meh” copy in seconds. But what if you could train one to think, write, and strategize exactly like your best marketer… or like you?


In this hands-on session, Teryl Brouillette—founder of CoGPT—will walk you through:

What custom GPTs are (and how they differ from the ChatGPT you’ve tried)

Why businesses are turning to them for faster, more consistent marketing

How to create your own, step-by-step, without getting lost in the tech

Where to start if you want quick wins and a clear ROI



Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or agency leader, you’ll leave with a roadmap to build your first GPT that actually sounds like your brand, saves you hours each week, and makes marketing way less overwhelming.



This session is hosted by the Orillia & Area Community Development Corporation.
