AI Training: From Advanced Prompting to Custom GPT Creation

Interactive 3-Hour Session
Building on the success of our previous training—where we explored how to maximize ChatGPT’s potential and break down complex activities into logical, AI-friendly tasks—this session takes you a step further.
We will briefly recap key concepts for new participants and then focus on thinking and acting like an AI architect. You will learn how to master meta prompting, design 3D and structured prompts, and package them into Custom GPTs for faster, more reliable, and scalable results.
You will leave with ready-to-use prompt frameworks, live demonstrations, and practical use cases, along with a clear understanding of how to start building your own GPTs tailored to your research or project needs.
Key Takeaways
Refresher: breaking down activities into AI-ready task flows (great for newcomers and as a warm-up for advanced work) Mastering meta prompting – guiding AI thinking rather than simply asking questions Applying the 3D prompting framework to move from simple to complex, multi-layered outputs Crafting structured prompts for consistency and reproducibility Demonstrations and real-life use cases showing how advanced prompts improve results Introduction to Custom GPT creation: from idea to practical mini GPT Blueprint for building a reusable prompt and GPT library
Format & Requirements
- Duration: 3 hours (interactive, hands-on, timing is to be specified)
- Participants: researchers, project managers, and support staff (just CIIMAR members)
