Automating Tasks with ChatGPT's GPT Feature

Introduction

• ChatGPT can automate tasks with customizable output formatting.
• Hands-on learning available through ChatGPT Mastery course and community.
• Focus on how to automate tasks using the GPT feature.

Key Components of Automating Tasks

• GPT Format: Essential for each task automation.
  • Role: Assign a role for the chatbot (e.g., professional construction worker).
  • Desired Output: Define how the information should be presented.
  • Operating Commands: Step-by-step instructions for task execution.

Setting Up GPT for Automation

• Explore GPTs: Access the section for creating and configuring GPTs.
• Create Section: Skip to ‘configure’ for full control over instructions, conversation starters, knowledge, name, description, etc.
• Instructions Setup: Key Example - Construction Worker Estimates:
  1. Upload Image & Name: E.g., 'Construction Estimator'.
  2. Description: Automates construction worker quotes based on project parameters.
  3. Conversation Starters: Add buttons like 'Start Project Estimate' and 'Give Me Live Material Cost'.

Developing the Instructions

• Role: Define the chatbot's persona and job.
  • Example: Professional construction worker specializing in creating job estimates.
• Desired Output: Set expected details and format.
  • Example: Job summary format including client name, project ID, job description.
• Operating Commands: Commands linked to conversation starters for ease of use.

Protocols for Task Automation

Protocol Examples

1. Job Summary Protocol: Summarize job details into manageable format (client name, project ID, job description).
2. Material Protocol: Calculate materials required based on job description.
3. Calculation Protocol: Calculate total cost including labor, travel, material costs.
4. Final Draft Protocol: Combine all details into a client-ready format.

Detailed Example

• Material Protocol: Format for materials needed, identify blind spots.
• Calculation Protocol: Labor cost, travel cost, upcharge on materials, live prices from preferred stores.
• Final Draft Protocol: Friendly message, organized format for client.

Testing and Revision

• Create & Share GPT: Test and make necessary revisions.
• Verify Outputs: Ensure outputs match tasks and personalize instructions as needed.
• Workflow Improvement: Use feedback to refine and enhance task automation.

Practical Usage

1. Start Project Estimate: Follow instruction prompts from GPT.
2. Run Protocols in Sequence: Job summary, material protocol, calculation protocol, final draft protocol.
3. Customization: Adjust settings for specific needs (e.g., preferred store, material types).
4. Review: Ensure accuracy by comparing GPT outputs with manual process.

Conclusion

• Efficiency: Setting up GPT for task automation saves time in long run.
• Versatility: Applicable across various domains beyond construction (e.g., fitness routines, data analysis).
• Community and Resources: ChatGPT Mastery course offers deeper insights and advanced techniques for more specialized needs.
