Build a Nutrition Custom GPT
Short summary
This tutorial walks through creating a Custom GPT that uses Dietly's OpenAPI schema as an Action to fetch real nutrition data instead of guessing. The key instruction design forces the model to always call the search action and forbids inventing missing values. It covers authentication setup, preview testing for edge cases, and maintenance when the API schema changes.
