Hey future-proof friends 💜

ChatGPT made a HUGE update last week...AI Agent!

The tech that's supposed to manage inboxes and calendars, book hotels, create presentations and basically be your VA while you sit back and chill.

There's been a lot of excitement about it but also a lot of widespread disappointment and criticism.

After spending hours testing it (so you don't have to), I've got some thoughts (plus recommendations, practical examples and tips).

TL;DR - today’s lineup:

1. One Smart Strategy 💡: A beginner’s guide (with practical examples) to AI Agents

2. One Powerful Prompt  🤖: A 3-step ChatGPT prompt that feels like a cheat code for becoming a millionaire.

3. One Great Tool 🔨: Slack just got a MEGA AI glow-up with AI video generation right inside your chat threads!

4. Piping  Hot  AI  Tea 🫖: 4 must-know stories - fears around GPT-5, a wrecked job market, China’s cheap AI and legal confidentiality.

A Beginner’s Guide To AI Agents (and the truth about ChatGPT Agent)

What Are AI Agents?

Now that we’re all getting used to using LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT - think of AI agents as digital employees that don't just chat - they actually DO.

While ChatGPT just responds to your questions, AI agents can:

• Break down complex tasks into smaller steps

• “Think” independently and take autonomous action

• Work through problems even when they hit obstacles

• Keep working on tasks over time (not just one-and-done)

Instead of asking "What restaurants are good in Rome?" you could say "Book me a table for 2 at a romantic restaurant in Rome with views of the Colosseum for Friday at 7pm and add it to my calendar."

The agent would research options, check availability, make the booking, and sort your calendar.

(In theory).

First, Let’s Dive Into ChatGPT Agent…

ChatGPT Agent has just launched for Pro, Plus and Team subscribers. It combines 3 previously separate features:

• Operator (web browsing and clicking)

• Deep Research (info synthesis)

• Regular ChatGPT (conversation)

You access it through the tools dropdown, and here's what you get:

• Pro users: 400 messages/month

• Plus/Team users: 40 messages/month

It runs on its own virtual computer and can browse websites, create presentations, run code, and connect to services like Gmail and Google Drive.

So What Can You Actually Use It For?

When you activate ChatGPT Agent, it brings up 4 functions and a list of suggested prompts for each:

1. ChatGPT Agent can write reports for you

• Audit fast-fashion vs. slow-fashion wardrobe cost and impact

• Research personal cooling solutions for hot weather

2. It can perform specific actions

• Conduct a calendar audit based on the last 6 months

• Schedule Uber to airport for tomorrow morning

• Review and prioritize my inbox after vacation

3. It can create spreadsheets

• Compile spreadsheet comparing CO2 emissions and renewables data

• Build a discounted cashflow model for an energy company

• Compile UNESCO data on education ratios and teachers

4. It can create presentations

• Create a go-to market strategy for a new organic pet food brand

• Create a presentation on a DTC skincare investment opportunity

• Analyze global broadband affordability

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Here's where things get messy and where the complaints are coming from…

The Speed Issue

Users report simple tasks taking 8+ minutes (sometimes 20+) for things you could do in under a minute with the regular ChatGPT or using the Deep Research function. More AI doesn’t always mean more efficient.

The Security Nightmare

ChatGPT literally warns you that signing it into websites, giving it access to your calendar, your inbox etc… can expose your data to malicious sites. They're asking you to give it your Google credentials, credit card info, and access to your email... while warning you it's not safe. For me it’s a hard pass on this one until the safety aspect is improved.

It's Expensive and Limited

Pro users paying $200/month get 400 messages and Plus users get 40 messages/month.

And here's the kicker - every time it fails (which is often), that counts against your limit. You’re literally burning through credits just watching it fail!

It's Just Not Very Smart (yet)

It gets confused between similar websites, stuck on dropdown menus, and blocked by basic security features. Many sites won't even let it in because they detect it's a headless browser. Even Sam Altman said it's "not something I'd yet use for high-stakes uses or with a lot of personal information." When the CEO is telling you not to trust it... 🚩🚩🚩

What You Should Use Instead

With all that said, this update is likely to go through a number of improvements and iterations over the next few months. It might yet top the AI Agent leaderboard, who knows.

But until then, if you’d like to dabble with AI Agents, here's what you should use instead:

(None of the below links are ads, just general recommendations)

For Automation: n8n

• Open source (free if self-hosted)

• 400+ integrations

• No monthly message limits

• More reliable but needs some tech skills

Try n8n here (not an ad) >

For Business Workflows: Zapier

• 7,000+ app connections

• Actually works reliably

• $20-800/month depending on usage

• Better for non-techies

Try Zapier here (not an ad) >

For Visual Workflows: Make (formerly Integromat)

• 2,000+ integrations

• Great visual builder

• Excellent debugging tools

• Similar pricing to Zapier

Try Make here (not an ad) >

For Office Work: Microsoft Copilot

• Deep Microsoft 365 integration

• $30/user/month

• If you're already in the Microsoft ecosystem, this is your best bet

Try Microsoft CoPilot (not an ad) >

The bottom line? Each of these tools does specific things REALLY well, while ChatGPT Agent tries to do everything and succeeds at... not much (as it stands).

Mindy - AI Video & Image Generation Inside Slack

You know how creating video content usually means opening 5 different apps.. exporting files… uploading to cloud storage… then sharing links with your team?

Mindy just... skips all that.

It's an AI bot that lives inside Slack and generates images AND videos right in your chat threads. No tab switching. No file juggling. Just type what you need and boom - it appears where your team is already talking.

Ideal for when your team needs a quick product demo video for social…

Instead of the usual scramble (throw ideas back and forth, brief the designer, wait for drafts, give feedback, wait again), you can just type:

@mindy create a bold social media video showcasing our new Guava sparkling water flavour

Here’s the result…

If your team lives in Slack and you're tired of the create-export-upload-share dance check out Mindy here. They've got a free trial so you can test it with your team before committing.

This is a sponsored recommendation, but I have been personally using this tool with my VA and genuinely think it solves a real workflow problem - especially for teams who need quick video content without the production hassle.
