so great, thanks! would this also work with custom created gpts?

[peterpaul]

Hey Geroge, pretty impressive! Well done. I am all new to make and would like to create a custom gpt that responds to questions based on information retreived from files I provide. Would that be the same approach? Search recodrs in Airtable (read a file content) and answer back with chatGPT? I think this might be the way to go but how to have two input streams at the same time? Watch the event of a question and are aware of the files in the same moment? Hope you can help me. Cheers and keep on mate!

But cant be used for Custom GPTs within the ChatGPT Interface I suppose?
