I have created a customGPT that helps students with exam practice and revision for a professional exam. It works perfectly. I decided to start using Pickaxe so I could charge a modest fee for my agent. I’ve copied/pasted the prompt from the working GPT into Pickaxe, and uploaded the same knowledge files. However, Pickaxe is giving the wrong answers to the questions. My brain is fried! How can this happen? ---

Hi @tcr, You might want to have a look at this post: > [@EXPERIMENT: ChatGPT vs Pickaxe responses to the same system prompt](https://community.pickaxe.co/t/experiment-chatgpt-vs-pickaxe-responses-to-the-same-system-prompt/5225/3): > > Here is the explanation: Pickaxe uses the OpenAI and Anthropic models via API, meaning we’re accessing the actual models. ChatGPT and Claude.ai are both the company’s own implementation of their own model. For example, ChatGPT is OpenAI’s implementation of their own foundational AI model. It’s like a general-purpose Pickaxe OpenAI built on their own model. ChatGPT operates with a system prompt that OpenAI wrote themself. Using parts of this prompt can help you replicate small behavioral differen… ---

This doesn’t seem like the typical disconnect between ChatGPT and the OpenAI api; have you looked to see if it’s actually accessing the knowledge base? I suspect that what you wrote in ChatGPT is actively calling the knowledge base but isn’t doing so with your Pickaxe. ---

It must be calling the knowledge, because it’s using it to answer - incorrectly! ---

Thank you very much - I’ll have a closer look!
