Introducing GPT Thinking Partners
Create your own versions of ChatGPT to be your
Reading Buddy, Writing Coach, Research Assistant, or Learning Puppet.
NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners are GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers)
designed to take you to new levels as a reader and a writer.
- Write your own text of any genre or upload one from a Web Site, PDF or Word Doc.
- Choose a sentence, paragraph, or the whole document. Click the button to Ask AI then select a GPT Thinking Partner. Pose a question and add a description of yourself if you would like, then wait for the results.
- Critically read the output from OpenAI that comes to you in an edit box. You can also Resubmit and Resubmit to choose from alternative results. Edit the output of the results you choose so that it is helpful (for other users), honest (about the facts), and harmless (free of bias).
- Hit Start conversation and see how a GPT comment is posted in context showing that this was written by a GPT Thinking Partner and edited by you. You and others can reply to any GPT-collaborated comments with human-only replies or with another GPT Thinking Partner.
- Your work with OpenAI is free and anonymous on NowComment. No separate login is required and no identifying data is transmitted to OpenAI. The content you submit through NowComment is not being stored by OpenAI to train their models.
Ever imagined having a personal assistant that learns and evolves with you?
You can design your own GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) to personalize and shape your AI chats for specific purposes.
Alternatively, tap into the ever-expanding universe of GPT Thinking Partners, each rigorously created and vetted by users just like you.
GPTs at your service
With the click of a button, you can deploy NowComment's Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) next to any document on NowComment. You can select from a bevy of brilliant GPTs.
We have designed these GPTs to be Thinking Partners who are always available to be your personal mentor, tutor, coach, teammate, student, simulator, or tool. GPT Thinking Partners don't just correct your writing or summarize a text; they help you to become a stronger writer and a more thoughtful reader.
NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners shape and transform the output you receive from the same Large Language Models that power ChatGPT. With NowComment's GPT Thinking Partners you make your own ChatGPTs to fit your specific needs as a reader and writer. You will be inspired by the control our GPT Thinking Partners give you over how to integrate AI into your own creative and thinking processes.
There are over 60 GPT Thinking Partners to choose from already (with more coming all the time)! And since there are so many, to guide your choice, we have organized them into the seven approaches for students that Dr. Ethan Mollick and Dr. Lilach Mollick describe in a recent paper, "Assigning AI," as briefly described in the next section, below.
We also invite you to make your own GPT Thinking Partners. NowComment is a platform where we learn with and about Artificial Intelligence.
Remix & Create
GPT Thinking Partners
Detail the persona of the best GPT Thinking Partner you can imagine having. Itemize for that character the reading strategies you want them to employ. Specify the output that you want to receive. Test and test until you have taught your GPT Thinking Partner how you want it to respond to the texts of any genre that you are reading or writing and uploading to NowComment. Become a prompt engineer.
AI as Tool: Extending Performance
We are learning together how to use GPTs as tools to extend our thinking. These GPT Thinking Partners can translate, adapt, and transform text. They can give you a prompt for creating an image and more. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
Keep your own
GPT Dialogue Notebook
Use NowComment to add daily logs on one document each week. Also add images and videos. Invite others to comment. Use
GPT Thinking Partners beside your freewriting, jottings, exploratory logs. Upload a new document each week for you logs, then collect these weekly log documents and things you are reading into a Personal Collection. This collection becomes your GPT Dialogue Notebook.
AI as Teammate: Increasing Collaborative Intelligence
Invite a GPT Thinking Partner into your study group to provide inspiration, find consensus, or play “devil’s advocate.” Consider these GPT Thinking Partners. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
AI as Student: The power of teaching others
Treat a GPT Thinking Partner like your student who has given you their thinking on a text. Respond by teaching more about the topic. Try this with these GPT Thinking Partners. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.
AI as Simulator: Creating Opportunities for Practice
Some GPT Thinking Partners are characters we have created to have specific intellectual frameworks or ideological ways of responding. Choose a GPT Thinking Partners like this to engage with different perspectives. See Mollick & Mollick (2023) for more.

Hi, Kaitlyn! I had the same thoughts when reading this sentence. I feel that Thoreau was telling us that we should follow our own paths. No one’s life will look the same, so we should all do what we want and find peace in that.
I resonate with this particular sentence because I believe that everyone should experience life. We are all made to believe that 40-hour work weeks plus overtime are all we have to give, but there is so much more to life than working so hard to barely afford the bare minimum. Traveling all over and doing fun, adventurous activities can be so beneficial for everyone’s mental health,
As we all go through life, we may find ourselves dwelling on our current situation and forgetting about the other beautiful things in our life. This sentence shows that even though there is something covering or stopping you at the moment, it will not always last. A common quote this sentence reminds me of is “trouble don’t last always,” and if I had to use an analogy to explain it, this one would be perfect.

Nanny’s slow, weary nod suggests a deep resignation and understanding, as if she’s seen this story play out before.
Janie’s struggling to express her feelings about Logan Killicks to Nanny. Her silence and pouting convey the pain and frustration she’s experiencing
When I read this Zora’s use of vivvid imagery really creates an image in my mind.I feel like I’m experiencing Janie’s desperation firsthand. She’s fleeing with her baby, still recovering from childbirth, and the thought of navigating that dark, treacherous swamp is terrifying.
To me, this line suggests that women often have to be intentional about what they remember and what they forget, and that can be a way to cope with difficult experiences they’ve had.
