Unleash the Power of ActionsGPT by OpenAI: A Comprehensive Guide to Crafting Custom Actions with Your GPTs
Welcome to Corbin AI, where we demystify the world of Artificial Intelligence! In today's blog post, we are going to delve into the power of ActionsGPT by OpenAI. If you've ever wondered about crafting custom actions with your GPTs, then you're in for a treat. OpenAI has recently released a specialized GPT for creating custom actions, and we're here to test it out and see if it lives up to its potential. So, let's jump right in!
Connecting with Pokey API
In this video, we will be exploring the capabilities of ActionsGPT by connecting it to a cool little API called Pokey API. Now, before we proceed, let's assume we have no experience with APIs and try to communicate with it from scratch. Don't worry, we'll guide you through the process and even share strategies to improve the outputs of your GPT.
But first, make sure to follow us on Twitter for updates on our latest videos. If you prefer watching our content on Twitter rather than YouTube, you're in luck!
Unleashing the Power of Custom Actions
So, what exactly are custom actions? Well, they enable us to access software outside of Chad GPT to perform specific functions. In this case, we want to use the Pokey API to search for specific Pokémon. Don't worry if you're not familiar with APIs; we'll guide you step by step.
Let's begin by diving into the documentation provided by the Pokey API. It lists a variety of Pokémon and their relevant information. For our test, let's search for Ditto, a shape-shifting Pokémon. We'll use a simple human-like approach when communicating with the API to see if it can provide relevant information and generate good code.
Before we proceed, let's address any issues you might face with the browsing feature. We recently made a video explaining why you might encounter errors while browsing and how to resolve them. Be sure to check it out!
Now, let's search for the documentation and see what we find. If we run into any errors, don't worry, we'll troubleshoot together and provide you with the necessary tools to counteract them.
Alright, it seems like we need to tweak the Action GPT a bit more. Let's approach it as if we have no experience and troubleshoot accordingly. We'll copy the schema provided in the documentation and paste it into our GPT.
Oops, it didn't work. But that's okay! Remember, we're here to troubleshoot and find solutions. Let's copy the new code provided by the GPT and give it another try.
Great, it seems to be working now! We received a new schema tailored to our custom action. Next, we need to provide more specific instructions to help the underlying GPT understand what we want it to do.
With the instructions in place, we can now fill in the necessary details, such as the purpose of our custom action, the name, and any required URLs. This information will enable us to save and use the GPT effectively.
Putting the Action GPT to the Test
Now that we have everything set up, it's time to see this action GPT in action! Let's use the example provided by the documentation and ask our GPT to tell us about Ditto.
As we hit the "Start Action" button, we can see a debug message showing the data being sent to the API's endpoint. This will help us understand if any issues arise. And voila, we receive a response with all the relevant information about Ditto!
Based on our experience, the action GPT seems to be working effectively. It even offers additional features, such as our own custom action for accessing data files and helping with APIs. If you want to learn more about creating custom actions, be sure to check out the playlist with specific examples we've curated just for you.

FAQs
1. How do I connect ActionsGPT to an API?
To connect ActionsGPT to an API, follow these steps:
- Step 1: Obtain the API documentation and browse through it.
- Step 2: Copy the relevant schema and paste it into your chatbot.
- Step 3: Tailor your GPT's underlying code to understand the API actions.
- Step 4: Fill in the necessary details, such as the purpose and name of the custom action.
- Step 5: Test your custom action by providing specific inputs and checking the outputs.
2. What if I encounter errors while browsing the API?
If you encounter errors while browsing the API, try the following steps:
- Step 1: Check if there are any recent updates or solutions for the browsing errors.
- Step 2: Refresh your chatbot or restart the browsing process.
- Step 3: If the errors persist, try deleting everything and starting again from step one.
3. Can I create my own custom actions for different purposes?
Absolutely! ActionsGPT allows you to create custom actions for various purposes. Whether you want to interact with other APIs, access data files, or perform specific functions, the possibilities are endless.
4. Are there any limitations to using custom actions with GPTs?
While custom actions offer great flexibility, it's important to keep in mind the limitations of GPTs. They may not always provide perfect outputs on the first try. However, with experimentation and fine-tuning, you can improve the results and create more accurate and insightful responses.
5. Where can I find more resources on creating custom actions with GPTs?
We have curated a playlist with specific examples and tutorials to help you create custom actions with GPTs. Be sure to check it out for step-by-step guidance and insightful tips.
