Product design question

Design a feature that lets non-technical users build and share Custom GPTs.

Practice this question out loud. An AI interviewer asks it, follows up like a real interviewer would, and scores your answer. Type or speak.

What this question tests

Product design for a no-code creation tool aimed at non-technical users, balancing simplicity with real customization power.

Clarify the target user: someone with a specific repeated task, like a teacher building a grading assistant, who has never written a prompt template before.
State the core pain point: writing an effective system prompt and choosing the right instructions is unintuitive without technical background.
Propose the flow: start from a conversational setup where the GPT builder asks the user what the assistant should do and drafts the configuration itself.
Design the sharing step: a simple visibility toggle and a shareable link, with a lightweight discovery surface like a store for public GPTs.
Define success: percentage of created GPTs that get used more than once, since a low reuse rate signals the builder produced something unhelpful.

Leads with a conversational, guided setup instead of a blank text box, since non-technical users do not know what a system prompt is.
Proposes the assistant itself draft and refine the configuration based on a few example interactions the user tries live.
Names a concrete success metric, like percentage of created GPTs used more than three times in the first week, as a proxy for real usefulness versus a one-off experiment.
Addresses discovery separately from creation, since a great custom GPT nobody finds again has no value.

Designing a powerful but text-heavy configuration screen that still requires prompt-engineering skill.
Ignoring the reuse and discovery problem and treating creation as the only success moment.

How would you prevent the store from filling up with low-quality, near-duplicate GPTs?
How would you handle a user who wants their custom GPT to access private data?
