Automating Tasks with Chat GPT

Introduction

  • Chat GPT can be customized for specific output formatting.
  • Highly recommended joining the Chat GPT Mastery course and community for more hands-on learning.

Automating Tasks in Chat GPT

  • Useful for many professions (construction workers, scientists, CPAs, business owners, teachers, etc.)
  • Steps to automate tasks:
    1. Understand GPT Format: Requires a role, desired output, and operating commands.

Creating a GPT

Initial Steps

  1. Open the sidebar and click 'Explore GPTs'.
  2. Click 'Create' then 'Configure'.
  3. Upload an image, give it a name and a description.
  4. Configure conversation starters for quick actions.
  5. Define instructions with sections for role, desired output, and operating commands.

Example: Construction Estimator

  • Role: Professional construction worker specializing in job estimates and quotes.
  • Desired Output: Format the rough job details into a structured summary, including client name, project ID, and job description.
  • Operating Commands: Customize commands like 'start project estimate' and 'give me live material cost'.

Protocols

  1. Job Summary Protocol: Break down client details into a manageable format.
  2. Material Protocol: Estimate materials needed based on job description.
  3. Calculation Protocol: Calculate costs based on provided information.
  4. Final Draft Protocol: Compile all information into a client-friendly final draft.

Setting Up for Specific Tasks

  • Create protocols to make the task seamless (e.g., running a job summary, material protocol, etc.)
  • Label protocols clearly for ease of use later.

Testing and Revisions

  • Test the GPT by running through tasks and checking for accuracy.
  • Revise the instructions based on feedback from testing.

Advanced Use Cases

  • Can be expanded with additional commands or API connections (e.g., Zapier) to integrate with other tools like Google Calendar.

Final Thoughts

  • It’s essential to spend quality time setting up a GPT for long-term benefits.
  • Think innovatively about how workflows can be improved in various professions using GPTs.
  • Focus on creating a robust system that saves time in the future.
