Use cases: ChatGPT Agent
ChatGPT Agent is the mode in which ChatGPT browses the web and carries out multi-step tasks, such as comparing prices, filling in forms and building spreadsheets from websites. The cases show time saved on tedious tasks, but also the need to supervise purchases, logins and submissions. Read what each person delegated, where they had to step in and use the prompt as a base for your own task.
10 cases, from newest to oldest. The most common topics are productivity, personal finance, and business and sales. People who show up most: journalist, immigrant, and parent. Each case links to the original source, shows a verification date and includes a prompt we wrote.
