How to use multiple custom instruction profiles in ChatGPT

Regular ChatGPT gives you one custom instruction setup. If your work changes between coding, writing, research, support, or personal tasks, one profile can become too generic.

Quick answer

With Superpower ChatGPT, you can create multiple custom instruction profiles, save different tone and instruction rules for each one, then switch profiles from ChatGPT when you want a different response style for the current task.

01

Open Custom Instruction Profiles

Open the Superpower manager and go to Custom instruction profiles. This is where all saved profiles live, with search, sorting, profile cards, and an add-new-profile action.

02

Create a profile for one kind of work

Create a profile for a repeated role or workflow, such as Developer, Researcher, Writer, Support, Student, Trader, or Personal. Give the profile a name that makes the mode obvious when you switch later.

03

Set tone, characteristics, and custom instructions

Inside the profile editor, save the tone, style, characteristics, and instructions you want ChatGPT to follow for that profile. Keep each profile focused on one mode instead of trying to cover every task.

Custom instructions: cite assumptions, summarize sources, and keep answers concise.

04

Enable or switch profiles from ChatGPT

Use the profile selector near the ChatGPT input to choose the profile you want for the current task. Switching profiles is faster than opening ChatGPT settings and rewriting custom instructions manually.

Search and edit profiles as your workflow changes

Use the profile manager when you need to find, edit, duplicate, or remove profiles. Update a profile when your preferred tone, rules, or workflow changes.

Profile strategy

Make each profile a clear mode for ChatGPT.

Create profiles around real workflows, not vague moods.
Use one profile for one task mode so switching remains predictable.
Keep profile names short enough to scan in the selector.
Use custom instructions for durable behavior rules, not one-off prompt details.
Review old profiles occasionally so unused modes do not clutter the selector.
