In the Pro version of Chat GPT there is the option of using special “GPTs”. These use a certain pre-configuration to better solve special requests. In addition to the well-known "Write For Me" (marketing texts), "PHP Engineer" and "MySQL Maestro" GPTs, we intensively use our "TYPO3 Dev Assist" in the company. This GPT represents a comprehensive solution for users working in the TYPO3 area. And offers in-depth support in development, configuration, problem solving and content management.
What can the GPT do?
Unlike the normal configuration, tasks and questions such as
- "Is there currently a TYPO3 code issue regarding editor permissions?"
- "Create me a detailed report about what has changed in TYPO3 v13"
- "Give me 3 sample questions that could appear on a TCCC exam"
- "web: Check www.in2code.de (including subpages) for accessibility"
can be answered very quickly. The AI accesses TYPO3 documentation (CoreApi, TCA, TypoScript, TSconfig, ViewHelper) and Github to obtain comprehensive information for a possible solution.
How can you use this?
In order to use GPTs, you need a Pro account with ChatGPT. If this is available, you can simply click on Explore GPTs and search for TYPO3. Once this has been integrated, you can integrate it again in the future by first writing "@typo3" in the chat input field. The configuration is then ready and you can ask questions in German or English (or another language).
All technical details for you:
