Have you ever imagined having your own ChatGPT assistant trained on your knowledge base? A tool you can ask everything related to your field of work?

Let’s dive into how you can train your personal assistant, for free, with this specific tool.

Dante AI serves you for this particular purpose.
I made a custom GPT model trained on financial/risk management/investment knowledge base, by feeding Dante 15+ hand picked documents about the matter. Let’s see how it works.

  • I signed up for Dante AI using my Google account (but you can use your traditional email instead).
  • I began uploading my knowledge base made of PDF documents. Dante lets you feed it with documents, PDFs and videos.
  • Once the chatbot has learned everything about my knowledge base made of PDF documents, I can start asking related questions. I chose a specific document so to thoroughly test its capabilities.
This is the document I chose to ask about.

Now let’s ask something related to the knowledge base in general terms and then about building a Macro Momentum Portfolio.

  • I now want to ask a more specific question.

Both responses were totally accurate based on the chosen paper to discuss about. Pretty neat!

Personalization is also a feature with Dante, as it lets you change the initial suggested prompts, the base prompt message and also create a private-label bot.

Awesome, right? This was Dante AI. For the purpose of the article I subscribed to the Pro Plan at $5/month using the code “WELCOME5”, but all the base features are available in the free plan.
