00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.279 So you don't got to pay anything, just go repost this and I'll send it. 00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:01.199 So here's what's new inside of Chat GPT tasks and a little uh bit of a precursor on what they are from OpenAI's website. 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:15.759 They said we're making scheduled tasks easier to create and manage in Chat GPT with a dedicated scheduled page, improving task creation and editing flows, more flexible scheduling options, and better notifications. 00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:25.360 User can schedule one-off and recurring tasks and also ask chat GPT to check for changes and notify them when there's a meaningful update. 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:35.120 Uh, so like I said, they kind of tied in this uh task feature upgrade with the sunsetting of Chat GPT Pulse. 00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.959 Um, which, you know, like I said, I don't think a lot of people use this. 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.399 I was actually super excited uh when ChatGPT Pulse was announced. 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.800 It was supposed to be this uh proactive agent that just showed up every single day. 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:55.519 There was a dedicated spot and the mobile app, and it was, you know, based on your history, it was kind of like almost like a news feed, right? 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:57.279 Of what was supposed to be helpful. 00:05:57.360 --> 00:05:59.759 I didn't like it because I didn't think it was very steerable. 00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:05.199 I talked about it many times on the show, but uh they said we're retiring Pulse in the next 14 days. 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:06.480 This was from last week. 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:08.560 Uh, and they said, Why are you removing pulse? 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.600 So OpenAI said proactive work remains an important part of making Chat GPT more useful. 00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:20.959 With Pulse, we learned that proactive experiences are most useful when they're personalized, action-oriented, and steerable by the user. 00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:31.600 We also saw strong engagement with tasks after introducing them in the pulse surface, showing that people uh showing that people value having a dedicated place for proactive work. 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:40.240 We're bringing those learnings back into scheduled tasks so users can keep getting useful updates and recurring help in a more focused experience. 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:53.920 So this I'm glad they actually are getting rid of Pulse because the other thing is when they introduced Pulse, uh, if you were on that$200 a month pro plan, they took away some of the basic scheduling features of ChatGPT tasks. 00:06:54.160 --> 00:07:00.560 So I have a lot of paid ChatGPT accounts, I have a lot of paid Claude accounts, I have multiple paid Gemini accounts, uh, right. 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.920 So one thing that I hated is to still use schedule tasks. 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:14.079 I had to switch off my pro account, which had the best uh usage limits and the best features, and I had to switch over uh to my team or my chat GPT plus account. 00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:22.000 Uh, but you if you are on any paid plan, uh you do have access to the new and updated Chat GPT tasks. 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:29.439 So uh there are limitations, and if I'm being honest, I'm not a big fan of these limits because they're very limited. 00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.360 Uh so I don't know. 00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.879 Maybe they found that people are really overusing these uh within each task. 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.199 I don't know, but they're kind of low, if you ask me. 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:47.439 So on the Go plan, which is kind of the step uh the paid, I think is like seven or eight dollars a month, you can schedule three tasks. 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:51.519 Uh if you're on the$20 a month plan, you can schedule five tasks. 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.160 If you're on a team plan, you can do 10. 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:59.680 And then if you are a pro or enterprise user, uh, you can schedule up to 15 tasks. 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:00.399 All right. 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.360 So let's look live. 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:20.000 This one, the actual live version is not going to be as hands-on as we might normally do on our AI at uh AI working Wednesday shows, uh, just because so many of these things are gonna surface confidential proprietary information. 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:20.720 Uh, right. 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.399 So uh I have some examples that I'm gonna show you, some best practices when using Chat GPT tasks. 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:34.240 But normally on our Wednesday shows, I tell you, oh, make sure to go to our website because we have the video version of this and you're gonna want to see the video version. 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.039 Uh, this one, not as important, right? 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.320 But uh, we're still going to do this nonetheless. 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.759 So let's go in live stream audience. 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.200 Let me know if you can see my screen. 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:46.480 That would be super helpful. 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:53.440 All right, but it's a dedicated URL that you can actually go and find these if you ever can't. 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:57.200 Uh, luckily, they're back on the chat GPT sidebar. 00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:02.240 Before they got taken away, and even when they were first introduced, uh, they took away the sidebar. 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.600 So literally the only place that you could get there was the URL. 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:12.320 Uh, so, anyways, you can just go to chat gpt.com slash scheduled and it will show you all of your scheduled tasks. 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:19.600 Uh, or they do have a redirect because it used to be chat gpt.com slash tasks that will redirect you to the scheduled tasks. 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.039 Or if you go on this sidebar, it is back there. 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:29.519 So um, it's actually the fourth

option down in your chat gpt sidebar, which they updated by the way. 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:34.639 They updated this on the web and on mobile, and it looks really freaking clean. 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:41.519 All right, I wasn't a big fan of the old uh kind of UX um of the chat GPT sidebar. 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.279 I know it's a very particular nitpicky thing, but now they went from maybe like third place to first place. 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.000 It is really good. 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:55.679 I do like uh the new Google Gemini um uh kind of sidebar, but that I don't know what it is, it's super clean, anyways. 00:09:55.759 --> 00:10:03.200 Uh, you on the sidebar, if you look for the fourth uh kind of icon down, you can click scheduled, and that's gonna bring you to all of your scheduled tasks. 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:08.720 So I'll I've just been doing a lot of uh I took out some of my normal ones, I'll put them back in uh later. 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:22.879 So just been doing some testing of some different features, but essentially you have a prompt box there um on the schedule task page that you can enter in a scheduled prompt uh that will become a task. 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:27.360 However, do not use this, don't use this, it's a trap. 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.879 Uh, here's why. 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:34.480 Um, at least as of right now, uh you'll notice one thing that's kind of missing. 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.720 Uh you can't choose which model to use. 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:39.600 All right. 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.000 And to me, that's a big no-no. 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:50.480 Uh, so in my testing, when you go to this scheduled um task page, it is a minimal interface. 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:51.600 It makes it very easy. 00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.919 But you know, what I think OpenAI is trying to do is they're trying to make this as easy as possible. 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.399 Uh, right. 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:58.879 They're saying, hey, go in there, just type a prompt. 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.600 You use natural language, you don't have to configure anything. 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:14.240 It's not like you're setting up, you know, if you've ever done any workflow automations or, you know, mapping things, uh, you know, old school Zapier, N8N, make, etc., robotic process automation, none of that. 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:19.440 It is a stripped out naked uh prompt text box with nothing else. 00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:21.279 And to me, that's a big miss. 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.240 So uh I would not schedule tasks this way. 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:36.879 You can go in and edit them and see what's running in the chat gpt.com slash scheduled, but I would not put them in mainly because, well, you can't um have control over what model you use. 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:37.360 Okay. 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.440 So now I'm just back on the normal interface and I just have a kind of a prompt set up. 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.799 So

this is an example of how you could schedule a task. 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.600 So uh I just typed in schedule a recurring task at 7 a.m. 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.000 every day that scans my Gmail. 00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:54.399 Okay. 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:59.200 So one thing to talk, and we'll see this as we go on and unpack this a little bit. 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:04.240 It's all about stacking what you already have inside of Chat GPT. 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:09.919 So in this case, um, I have different apps connected to my Chat GPT account. 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:17.440 So if you're watching, you'll see the three that I'm referencing here are my connected Gmail, which indexes automatically, which is really cool. 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:20.799 Uh, my Google Calendar and my Google Drive. 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:28.399 So when I'm reading out this prompt, you can probably see why this would be super helpful because uh ChatGPT has access to all of this. 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:43.679 And for a lot of busy people that live and die by their by their email, their calendar, and their storage, which is like me, you probably pre-AI uh would spend a lot of time manually going into all of these three places. 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.879 So you could say, you know, your Outlook, your Outlook calendar, and your SharePoint, right? 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:50.399 Or Teams or whatever. 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.120 Uh, right. 00:12:51.279 --> 00:13:03.679 So now in the AI era, we were just pro uh you know, reactively prompting because you know, you'd go in here and say, hey, you know, I can at least have this prompt that would go in there. 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:09.039 Now uh it with task, it is proactively getting all of this and scheduling it. 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.279 So you don't even have to do this every single day, right? 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.200 You set it up once with natural language. 00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:17.039 So, anyways, I said schedule a recurring task at 7 a.m. 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:23.759 Uh every day that scans my at Gmail and my at calendar uh to triage my day. 00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:31.039 Also use Google Drive and research the web as needed to enrich and verify based on my chat history. 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:39.519 Here we go, and what you know about me and my priorities, suggests next steps, drafted email responses, projects to focus on focus on, etc. 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.320 So I'm gonna go ahead and click enter there. 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.120 All right. 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.600 So for our live stream audience, uh, you'll see something if you haven't used TAS yet. 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:50.559 It's gonna be a new-ish interface uh that comes up. 00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:59.759 You're gonna see a new little button that would normally not uh go through, but essentially I can click here, see exactly uh what Chat GPT is doing. 00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:00.559 Um, right. 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:20.159 So it's going through, it's um saying that I'm gonna go uh, you know, if you look on the thinking trace on the right hand side, uh, which is for this, I chose extra high thinking uh because if I'm not sitting in front of my computer, I don't want the GPT 5.5 instant doing this very important morning triage for me. 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:23.360 Uh right, I want to use the best model available. 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:32.399 Uh so you'll see here it's going through, it's looking through all of these tools, uh, and it's setting up this um scheduled automation. 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:38.559 All right, so we're gonna give that a quick second, and I'm gonna go back and to show you how to edit and check on these things. 00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:44.320 So um as an example, uh let me go ahead and do this one. 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.039 Okay, so this is one just as a test. 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.480 I said every day, uh every day at three. 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:53.679 Let me go back. 00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:55.360 There we go. 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.039 So uh I said every day at 3.02 p.m. 00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:10.159 create a schedule task that checks the stocks for Cerebros, Nvidia, Google, SpaceX, and Meta, and create an interactive chart using writing bots formally canvas mode. 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:13.519 Uh so that was one of my schedule prompts. 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:20.559 So there's you can hover over it and you can either edit the actual prompt and you can just edit it in natural language. 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.639 You can also see the frequency. 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.639 So right now, uh the repeat on this is custom. 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:35.440 Uh, it runs daily, uh, right, and then it has a time there that I can go, and then you can put in end date. 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:36.960 So maybe you only want to run this. 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:41.039 Let's just say you want to run this every single day for three weeks or whatever. 00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:41.679 Uh right. 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:47.840 So you can repeat this hourly, daily, on weekdays, weekly, monthly, uh, or custom. 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:48.320 All right. 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.879 And then you can set any time and any duration, and then you can edit it as you want. 00:15:53.039 --> 00:16:03.039 You can pause any of these as well, because, like I said, depending on your plan, you only have a certain number of active, um, active runs or active schedule tests. 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.919 And then at any point, you can click on it, and then you can click uh view conversation. 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:11.360 So this is going to keep all of this in the same chat thread. 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:24.960 And that part is very important because if you are working on a project, let's say you're managing a project, and every single day, maybe there's updates and I don't Slack and Gmail and HubSpot, et cetera. 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.200 And you might want to share that context, right?

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:32.159 So maybe every day, let's just say you're a project manager, uh, marketing director, etc. 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:39.919 Uh, and one of your big tasks or one of your big projects that you're working on uh is well, that one project and it's driving everything. 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.879 And every single day you're going into your email and your Slack and your HubSpot and you're checking all these things, right? 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:59.279 As long as you number one, have access to use these apps inside of ChatGPT, it's gonna automatically not only pull all of those things at the time that you schedule it, but it's also going to keep that context in mind as long as you tell it to in the scheduled prompt. 00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:07.039 All right, but you'll see here, at least in the results, you know, give me a nice, uh, very minimalist chart here, right? 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:12.880 It pulled all the latest prices uh for those companies that I that I was watching. 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:14.000 So I do this a lot. 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:22.559 I check on different AI stocks, uh, right, that I might have in my portfolio, or I'm just curious on how the news of the day is impacting them. 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:35.039 So this is something that I'll probably start using, you know, get a big list of all the ones that I care about, uh, you know, tweak it so I get it to look just how I want, have it to run maybe, I don't know, two or three times a day, and then I can just go in and check. 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:41.519 But having it in the same thread, like I said, is a big unlock as well because it's gonna keep all of that context in mind. 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:46.000 All right, so let's just quickly check over uh on my triage. 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:47.680 There we go. 00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:50.799 All right, so it is scheduled. 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.279 So it says scheduled daily command triage will run every day at 7 a.m. 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.839 Central starting July 1st. 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.880 All right, so let's go ahead, open the sidebar, go into scheduled. 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:08.079 There we go. 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:09.359 And there it is. 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:12.400 There is my daily uh command triage. 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:18.079 And essentially, it took my simple prompt and it expanded the prompt as well. 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:36.160 So, similarly, if you ever remember the uh kind of conversational GPT builder where you could give it a very simple prompt and then it makes it much longer and much more detailed, always make sure to go check that because it took my my little uh you know two and a half sentence prompt and it turned it into like four paragraphs. 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.359 But that's one of the reasons is I use that extra high thinking mode. 00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:53.039 So obviously, before I start relying on this, number one, I would go in and click run now and check the results uh so you don't have to wait until the scheduled time, but also look on the right hand side and see the actual prompt that it used. 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.119 All right, so that wraps it for at least the live portion. 00:18:57.200 --> 00:19:02.319 Like I said, not doing a ton of things live, but I wanted to show you uh some of the pros and the cons. 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:10.480 But let's get back into the five secret Chat GPT task shortcuts that you need to start using today. 00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:14.799 So number one, MCPs. 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:17.759 So I actually have no clue when this happened. 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.440 Okay, so about uh when was this? 00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:22.799 The end of April. 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:31.039 Uh, because I was actually in San Francisco, uh, had a bunch of meetings, and I believe I chatted with a few open AI people, and this came up in passing. 00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:35.039 But I remember at least it was literally the last week of April. 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:43.200 For whatever reason, MCP uh uh access was not available uh to people on individual paid plans. 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:48.079 And suddenly I looked at the developer blog, I looked at all these things. 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.279 It said, right, they said they gave access back in uh October. 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.440 If they didn't, I was checking weekly, uh, gave up at some point. 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:00.240 But let's talk about the combination of tasks in MCPs and why this is really important. 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.920 So if you don't know MCPs, that's model context protocol. 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:11.279 This is essentially the glue that brings together uh all of the different AI apps that don't have direct connectors. 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:17.839 So obviously, ChatGPT has a great selection of apps, but it doesn't have everything you need. 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:24.240 But I would say most modern SaaS application or enterprise software has an MCP server. 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:33.599 So um if you go into settings inside of your Chat GPT account, if you go into apps and then advanced settings, there's something new called developer mode. 00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:47.920 So developer mode in and of itself is not new, however, it was not worth using for a while because previously, when you enabled developer mode, it actually disabled a lot of the basic features and functionality of Chat GPT. 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:50.079 Like this was back in late 2025. 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:54.000 I remember when you enabled developer mode, it couldn't search the web, right? 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:59.680 So I don't know why if it was a bug, if it was a known thing, but they didn't really announce when they updated it. 00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:03.440 And that's number one, but number two, well, now paid plan. 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:18.319 So if you are on the$20 ChatGPT Plus or the$200 Chat GPT Pro account, if you go into apps uh or

sorry, go into your settings, apps advanced settings, you can now toggle on developer mode, which allows you to connect MCPs, which is huge, right? 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.240 So for me, small example, right? 00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:22.799 I use Bee High for our email newsletter. 00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:42.880 There is no official app um for um chat GPT, well, or any, because a lot of what a lot of companies are doing now, instead of you know trying to get an uh an official integration, you know, with ChatGPT and Claude and Gemini and Grok and Perplexity and all these other ones, instead, they're just saying, oh, MCP, and then anyone can use it. 00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:43.440 All right. 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.079 But uh ChatGPT actually was a little behind. 00:21:46.160 --> 00:21:53.119 I think Claude led uh in MCP, maybe Microsoft and Google, uh, and finally Chat GPT caught up. 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:57.839 So this is huge being able to use MCPs and tasks. 00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.759 So all of these services, right. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:05.039 I use dozens of MCPs and now I can schedule them all in natural language. 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:15.200 So I can just say, hey, here's the eight different pieces of software that I go into every single day and check different metrics that don't have a direct integration in ChatGPT, or I can mix and match them, right? 00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:26.559 Here's the five you know services, you know, like Gmail and Google Calendar and Slack and you know, all these other things, plus these other ones that maybe are a little smaller or a little more niche. 00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:30.720 I can bring them all together with a new uh developer mode MCP. 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.359 All right. 00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:33.519 Number two, the number two secret. 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:38.160 Y'all, quietly apps are more agentic than ever. 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.759 And that changes what happens with Chat GPT tasks. 00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:48.640 Let me just rewind you back to uh fall 2025 when ChatGPT tasks were first announced. 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:51.920 Uh I think it was uh let me let me double check that. 00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.960 Uh ChatGPT first announced. 00:22:55.119 --> 00:23:00.480 Uh I think it was back in September of oh no, I'm completely wrong. 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:04.240 Um it was early, early 2025. 00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:11.039 All right, so back during that time, uh, they were actually not even called uh apps, uh, right. 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.240 So they were integrations or connectors, all right. 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.079 But early on, right, when you could schedule all these tasks, right? 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:28.319 Like a year ago, let's say, basically they were write or sorry, read-only, and they were very limited in terms of what all of these apps could actually do. 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:34.799 Now, apps are getting more and more agentic with more and more read-write capabilities. 00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.000 It's a two-way street. 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:36.960 A good example. 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:51.200 Well, do you know that if you're using the Gmail app, you can have it automatically send emails, not just read them, not just manage your inbox and flag things, mark them as unread, you know, bulk, do all these different bulk actions. 00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:57.759 But yeah, you can literally send emails without even clicking a button anymore. 00:23:57.920 --> 00:23:58.640 Uh all right. 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:01.039 I don't let me just say this. 00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:03.440 I don't advise most people to do this. 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:05.440 I'm just using this as one extreme example. 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:05.839 All right. 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:11.200 So you could, in theory, let's just say you manage an inbox that always gets the same type of emails every day. 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:16.480 You could just create something conversationally that says, when you get this email, do this, and yes, it can actually send an email. 00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:16.960 All right. 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.279 Uh, so apps are getting more and more agentic. 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.160 Number three, you can practice for this super app. 00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.000 Yeah, this one is actually a secret. 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:34.559 I posted about this, I didn't see anyone else, but essentially, we all know that codecs is the future super app, and open AI is doing a lot to kind of merge and bring Chad GPT and Codex together. 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:39.759 One small little thing that happened last week, uh, and this was actually a codecs update. 00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:45.519 So Codex updated and its automations platform became a scheduled platform. 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:59.440 And instantly, right, I actually had on my screen, I had my um my Mac Studio up virtually and then my MacBook Pro, and I updated one and I was comparing them, and I'm like, oh wait, this is definitely to prepare for the super app. 00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.000 Uh right. 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:08.880 So now instead of having automations in codecs and scheduled tasks in ChatGPT, now they're both just called scheduled tasks. 00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:09.359 All right. 00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:19.680 So this is merging and laying the groundwork and the foundation, I think, for eventually the super app to work a little bit more in merging ChatGPT's capabilities with Codex's capabilities. 00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:20.720 So there you go. 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:22.160 Uh, talk about a secret. 00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.039 No one knows that. 00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.359 Uh well, except for the people that open AI. 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.319 All right. 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:28.880 Uh, and for the like 10 people that follow me on Twitter. 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:29.359 All right. 00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:31.759 Uh, number four, and this is a big one. 00:25:32.000 -->

00:25:35.279 Uh tasks work inside of projects now, which is great. 00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:45.200 So tasks have always worked with like chat uh like deep research, um, and you know, working with any files that you upload and all those things, but to be able to use it in projects is great. 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:51.839 So it doesn't work with voice mode, it doesn't work with uh custom GPTs, but you can work inside projects. 00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.519 Uh so that means you can have uh shared, right? 00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:58.160 And this is big for teams because teams can share projects. 00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:59.759 So I just did this as an example. 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.359 I created a example project called the MBA test. 00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:08.559 I just put in custom instructions that said make sure in every single response, say something about the MBA. 00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:16.960 And then my schedule task inside this project was every day at 3:31 p.m., create a scheduled task to tell me one fact about LLMs. 00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:18.160 And then, you know, it did that. 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:21.920 And then it said, think of it like an MBA player who has practiced millions of shots. 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:30.160 They aren't consciously recalling every previous attempt, they've internalized patterns that let them make the next move more quickly and fluidly. 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:31.680 So uh that's huge. 00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.960 I'm a big fan of projects. 00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.920 I use them uh, you know, extensively in Chat GPT and Claude when I'm working on the web. 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.279 So now that tasks work inside of projects, big unlock. 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.200 And then number five, last but not least, stacking memory. 00:26:45.359 --> 00:26:52.079 My gosh, talk about the easiest way to get huge instant value out of chat GPT tasks without doing any work. 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.039 So I did this little uh prompt here. 00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:09.920 I said, now, based on my chat history and what you know about me in my connected chat GPT apps, please suggest 10 specific prompts that use one or more apps that I could run on a recurring basis as a scheduled task inside of Chat GPT. 00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:15.759 Make them copy and paste ready, including a placeholder at sign in front of the app, like at Gmail, take your time. 00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:32.319 And it went, I'm not going to show you everything because there's a lot of personal things in there, but my gosh, running this and I used uh the I think pro or thinking high, it gave me some amazing ideas that were literally copy and paste ready for a bunch of these tasks that I maybe hadn't even thought of. 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:39.519 Because the good thing about ChatGPT's memory and cross-chat history is it's connecting all the dots from all of these different chats that you may not even be thinking. 00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:46.480 So maybe you're using ChatGPT all the time for it's the same type of recurring task and you just don't know it. 00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:48.160 So that's a great unlock. 00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.240 Those are the five secret shortcuts that you should start using today. 00:27:52.319 --> 00:28:02.400 So I hope this was helpful unraveling a little bit on ChatGPT tasks so you know what they are, what's new, how they work, and the five secret shortcuts to use them today. 00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:09.839 So make sure uh to share and repost this on LinkedIn, and I will send you the Chat GPT tasks cheat sheet. 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:16.559 It is great, it is in depth and it includes a checklist and 15 starter tasks for beginners to level up. 00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:18.240 All right, I hope this was helpful. 00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.359 Thank you for tuning in. 00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:22.400 Please, if you haven't already, go to your everydayai.com. 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:23.599 Uh, thanks for tuning in. 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.400 We'll see you back tomorrow and every day for more everyday AI. 00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:27.519 Thanks, y'all.
