# Create a Custom Model

You can create a custom model (tune a new model) by adding your own data to a model and subsequently prompt the custom model in a workbook. \

Follow the steps to add your dataset, make sure to give it a recognizable name.&#x20;

Once you're passed in your data, your new model will be processing for a short amount of time. Refresh the page & wait until you see that the model is "Ready" in the "My Models" tab.&#x20;
