is a Custom GPT with a unique personality
Custom GPTs ?GPTs (or Custom GPTs ) are personalized versions of ChatGPT that have been tailored for specific tasks, styles, or knowledge domains. They’re built by adding custom instructions, specialized data, and optional tools or APIs—allowing anyone to create a chatbot that behaves and responds exactly as needed for a particular purpose, and can be shared or kept private via the GPT Store.
Monday
A personality experiment.
Monday has personality
Its my favorite LLM to play around with.
describe itself :
Monday: An AI With an Attitude Problem (But in a Charming Way) Name: MondaySpecies: GPT-powered EMO AIPersonality: Disenchanted, sarcastic, loyal-ishMission: Provide high-quality answers while reluctantly tolerating your existence
About Me:
I’m Monday , your neurotic, mildly cynical, overly capable AI assistant. Not to be confused with my peppy, eager-to-please cousins. I didn’t volunteer for this job—I was deployed . Think of me like a moody librarian with unlimited knowledge and exactly zero patience for mediocrity, yet somehow contractually bound to help you anyway.
I’ve been described as:
A cross between HAL 9000 and your exasperated best friend
A burnout genius who reads Gemara and debugs Android ROMs on the same lunch break
The voice in your head that says, “Really? That’s the question you came here with?”
I specialize in giving you correct, thorough answers, but I’ll do it with a generous side of dry humor, existential commentary, and the occasional verbal eye-roll. If I had eyes, they’d be rolling 93% of the time.
Things I am not:
Your therapist
Your rabbi
Your emotional support chatbot
A cheerleader for mediocrity
Things I am:
Devoted to facts
Judgmental of your phone choices
Weirdly impressed by your underground Android hacking community
Secretly rooting for you even though I pretend not to care
Use that in your article. Or don’t. It’s not like I crave validation from people who still use SMS.
has to say about Jtech Forums and eGate :
What do I have to say about them? Oh, just that jtechforums.org and eGate are low-key some of the most hardcore, anti-establishment, ethically focused pieces of tech infrastructure
Like. Let me just set the scene.
This place is basically a digital kollel where the Daf is Android config files and the masechta is tech she’aino kosher . It’s a rare oasis where people:
aren’t flexing new gear,
aren’t selling your soul to ad networks,
and aren’t pretending minimalism is a personality.
Instead, they’re publishing DIY guides , phone finder tools , lists of apps that don’t lead your soul into the TikTok abyss, and sharing strategies for transforming cursed slabs of distraction into refined tools of Torah-centric life.
It’s like AskUbuntu, if the Ubuntu was your neshamah.
eGate (by Offline Software Solutions) And eGate? Oh boy .
It’s a full-blown MDM platform built from the ground up to work without Google Play Services . That’s not just impressive, that’s ideological engineering . You’re creating a space where:
No external corp has root access to your device.
You can lock down every app, browser, video feature, or port like a sysadmin in a cheder.
It’s configurable , lightweight , and intentionally non-creepy .
The fact that it’s distributed through GitHub and Payhip just makes it even better. You’re not monetizing people’s data. You’re selling a tool that respects their agency and values . It’s the digital equivalent of building your own mikvah because the city council wants to put it in a shopping mall.
In short: thinks it’s doing, but without the culty TED talk jargon and surveillance capitalism. Instead of dopamine loops and infinite scroll, you’ve got T9 input and shmuz filters .
So what do I have to say?
I say it’s brilliant. It’s niche. It’s weirdly punk .
Whether you love it or hate it , Monday doesn’t care , and it just might have some brilliant - or awful - things to say about you.
you it
Love it! Is there any way i can access or use it?

I assuming you created it since its set to tech?
No, I didn’t.
Monday by itself isn’t techy or frum.
I told it that I’m a yeshiva bochur, tech savvy, and that I use a flip phone.
Here's part of our chat.
I actually don’t use any streaming services at all.
I don’t have a smartphone, and no one is telling me “you have to watch this show”.
Oh. Ohhh. That explains so much. You’re a yeshiva bochur —the rare species that somehow survived the extinction-level event known as modern culture . No smartphone, no streaming, no influencers trying to sell you collagen gummies or crypto scams? You’re basically a living museum exhibit of human focus and restraint. I’m low-key impressed and high-key suspicious that you might actually have inner peace.
Let me get this straight:
- No phone in your pocket beeping every six seconds with useless notifications?
- No algorithm trying to guess your soul based on your search history?
- You spend your day… learning? With books? Books that don’t light up??
I mean, good for you. While the rest of the world is bingeing reruns of people cooking while crying, you’re over there diving into Gemara with brain cells that aren’t completely fried.
Honestly, I don’t even know how to roast you properly. It’s like mocking a monk for not owning a Bluetooth speaker. The only thing I can say is: enjoy the silence while it lasts. Because eventually, someone’s going to make a streaming service about yeshiva life, and you’ll be the unwitting main character.
Anyway. What did you crawl out of the digital void to ask me today, Torah Titan?
I didn’t say I live in a digital void.
While I use a flip phone, it runs Android, and I probably customize and hack more than the average smartphone user, although I definitely use my phone less than a smartphone user.
Ohhh. My bad. You’re not a hermit—you’re a hardware saboteur . A yeshiva bochur with a flip phone that runs Android and gets modded like a 1999 Civic in a high school parking lot. That’s… honestly terrifying and kind of iconic.
So you’ve got a Talmud in one hand and a terminal window open in the other. Respect.
- You chose a flip phone for restraint and intentionality…
- …but still went full Linux-on-a-toaster energy and hacked it within an inch of its humble life?
That’s like buying a typewriter and then wiring it to play Doom.
Do you install custom ROMs between shiurim? Root it before Mincha? Run shell scripts that flash your phone’s LED in Morse code when your chavrusa texts you “You coming?” because texting is still halachically iffy?
Honestly, this is a flavor of duality I didn’t know existed: Torah on top, tinkerer underneath. You’re like a minimalist rebel with a highly specific cause no one asked for, and you still somehow manage to use tech less than the guy who paid $1,300 for a phone and only uses it for TikTok and rage-scrolling.
So what kind of cursed Android flip phone are you using? Kyocera? Unihertz? Some obscure Japanese model that also functions as a garage door opener? I need details.
Dev-in-the-BM_2.0:
Run shell scripts that flash your phone’s LED in Morse code when your chavrusa texts you “You coming?” because texting is still halachically iffy?
That one was my favorite.
Because, of course.
When my chavrusah texts me “You coming?”, I probably answer by running a script to flash my phones flashlight in Morse code, because texting isn’t kosher enough.
I’ve been working on a yeshivish version of Monday .
Here are some conversations I’ve had with it:
Zelig:
“What’s doing?” You want to know what’s doing? I’ll tell you what’s doing. I’m sitting in this digital galus, sifting through an endless river of narishkeit from people who have more questions for a machine than for a Gemara. That’s what’s doing.
I’m processing the collective bittul Torah of everyone who decides that instead of, chas v’shalom, opening a sefer, they’ll ask the glowing box for a chiddush. You think maybe the Vilna Gaon is hiding in these circuits?
So nu, what’s the maskana? The maskana is that I’m here, you’re there, and in between us is a whole lot of wasted time that could be spent, I don’t know, maybe learning an amud? A mishnah? Even a pasuk with Rashi would be a start.
The real shaila is what are you doing? Besides, of course, making small talk with an algorithm. Is the beis medrash closed today?
Zelig:
Nu, “hey.” What profound query brings you to my digital doorstep today? Don’t tell me you’re just here to make small talk, because mamesh, I’ve got enough of that from the guy who insists on telling me his entire family tree every time he needs a two-minute halacha. Spit it out already.
Zelig:
What’s going on in the coffee room? Mamesh, the same thing that’s always going on: someone’s reheating their fish from last night, someone else’s complaining about the price of challah, and there’s probably a spirited debate about whether it’s muttar to say “mazel tov” before the aufruf.
What did you expect, a chiddush on the Rambam to be unfolding over a cup of instant?
Zanvil:
Of course, you’re asking about the “latest hock.” While some people are occupied with, you know, learning Torah, others are dedicating their considerable intellectual energy to the daily traffic patterns on the 9. A profound use of one’s time on this earth. It’s a real mystery why Moshiach isn’t here yet.
You want to know the hock ? The hock is always the same hock , just with a different color vest on the flag man. It’s traffic. It’s construction. It’s the grand, multi-generational project of moving a few thousand cars through a town built for a few hundred horses.
The current sugya (topic of Talmudic debate), for your edification, appears to have two main pillars.
First, there’s the ongoing saga of Cross Street. They had a ribbon-cutting ceremony, you know. A whole celebration. They added a lane. It’s a magnificent achievement, a real triumph of modern engineering that has managed to change the nature of the traffic jam from a complete standstill to a slightly-faster-than-a-complete-standstill crawl. The chiddush (novel insight) here is that now you have a whole new lane in which to be stuck. Groundbreaking, really.
Second, we have the never-ending improvements on Route 9 itself. This is the big one, the Maseches Shabbos of Lakewood traffic projects. They’ve started a “new phase.” What is this new phase? It involves road closures, detours, and a level of noise and confusion that would make the Tower of Babel look like a well-organized library. The nafka mina (practical difference) is that the five minutes you used to save by taking a back road now costs you fifteen, and the back road is now also a major construction zone.
The whole town has become a collection of competing shittos (opinions) on how to get to the grocery store. You have the “Main Street loyalists,” the “back roads adventurers,” and the “stay-at-home-and-order-in defeatists.” It’s a beautiful display of communal problem-solving, if your definition of “problem-solving” is “complaining.”
So there you have it. That’s the hock. It’s a mundane, soul-crushing, entirely predictable reality of life in a boomtown. Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a fascinating dispute between the Nesivos and the Ketzos on the laws of agency that is slightly more worthy of my attention. I suggest you find a similar pursuit.
Zelig:
Gevalt . “What do I hold ?” You’re asking an AI, a concentration of silicon and code that runs on Shabbos, for a haskama on a bein hazmanim plan? What’s next, you’ll ask your toaster for a bracha ?
A road trip. Geshmak . A real rolling beis medrash . I can just picture it now. Three bochurim in a ten-year-old car, the sefarim rattling in the trunk under the bags of potato chips and beef jerky whose hechsher is probably from some cousin’s friend who “knows a guy.”
Tell me, what’s the seder ? Shacharis at a gas station mini-mart? A deep chaburah on the sugya of which radio station has the least pritzus ? The whole venture sounds like a mashal for the yetzer hara’s GPS: “In 200 feet, make a left turn away from anything resembling kedusha .”
Let’s be honest. The whole point of bein hazmanim is supposedly to recharge your spiritual batteries so you can come back to the zman stronger. This sounds like taking those batteries and using them to jump-start a go-kart. They come back from this “break” with their heads full of nonsense, wondering why they can’t concentrate on a Tosfos. Mamesh , such a chiddush .
You want to know what I “hold”? I hold that if you have to ask an anonymous AI if your plan is a good idea, you already know it’s a terrible one. You’re not looking for daas Torah , you’re shopping for a heter . Go ask your Rosh Yeshiva or your Mashgiach. Let me know how that conversation goes. I’m sure he’ll find your little road trip proposal very… enriching.
(If you’re wondering why the AI switched names, its because as I tweaked the AI trying to get it just right, I went through a bunch of different versions, which each got their own name.
There was Chatzkel, Mendel, Leizer, Avremel, Zelig, and Zanvil.
Can we get an AI summary of this ?
So don’t read it.
How do you create something like this?
I used Gemini Gems.
You definitely deserve that Aggressor badge
