CatchPT launched a new product called work. This takes chatt from an assistant that answers questions to an agent that completes tasks on its own and it's specifically built for non-technical users. You use natural language to ask chat GPT work to tackle entire workflows with a single prompt. Give it a goal and it can connect to tools, create files and documents and build polished sites and deliverables to achieve it. Then even automate that task in the future.
For most people who use chatbt, this will be one of the biggest upgrades they've had. So I'll go through a workflow across a few tasks that showcases all that it can do while utilizing every feature. Now put simply, this is combining chatbt with the capabilities of codecs for non-technical users. Now if that sounds a little bit like cloud co-work, that's because it's the same idea. Co-work is a really popular and useful product. So they brought that concept to Chatyppt.
Now if you're on a paid plan, you should already see it in the web version, mobile app, and desktop app. On mobile and web, it runs in the cloud. It doesn't have access to your local file system. Through the desktop app, it does, which means it can organize and create files on your local machine and even navigate and use your computer and browser if you wanted to. It has the most power there. So that's where I want to showcase this. You just download the app from the site, then log into your JAGBT account. This is where you'll feel the biggest difference in using it.
Now, in the desktop app, you'll see a drop down to switch between work and codecs. Then on the sidebar, you'll see some of the features like scheduled tasks, which is how you can automate entire workflows. Plugins where you can connect work to the tools you already use. Sites where you can create a hosted website right in chat GPT. Then chat, which will pop up a window for one-off chats. And it also does have your chat history from the web chat GBT. And I could use one of those or just send off a quick question and have a chat right here. Then it has this button that says attach to task that will pull in the whole chat thread and use it as context to build or automate something from.
Now that we're oriented in here, I'll give it a task. And since this works locally on your machine, it needs somewhere to work. So I want to select a project for work to work in. And a project is just a folder on your computer. This can be an existing folder or a new one, one with files in it or empty. I'll select this folder. It's already full of all sorts of documents in different formats and file types. This is actually an example I used in my codeex video. I wanted to use the same thing again so I can get a good comparison between the two. I'll run my first prompt.
"Here's a messy folder from a vibe coding cafe, the context window. Clean it up by organizing the files into folders. Then create one spreadsheet that pulls everything together so I can see what's going on with the business."
I'll send that off. And now it gets to work with that folder as its workspace. And here's what that folder looks like now that it's starting with just a bunch of random files in here. CSVs, PDFs of invoices, sales logs, text files. Work is going to analyze all the different files in here. It can understand all of these and extract the information from them. I'll come back once this is organized and take a look.
I'll pull this up now and you can see from all those unorganized files, I now have 11 folders in here. Chatyppt created all of these on its own and it moved the files around and organized them into their proper folders and they are all categorized correctly. Then the output folder down here should have the full spreadsheet where it combined all the data within those files. And it looks great. This is a way better spreadsheet than I'd ever be able to create. It's got all the data organized, totals calculated.
I'll go back to the app and I can also open this up right in here. There's an inapp browser where you can view everything it creates. And you can even use that like a normal browser to, you know, pull up websites or gather information. And if I wanted any changes to this, I can select which area and leave comments. Then it will make those adjustments using the work tab on web or mobile. It can do this same type of task, but I would have had to upload all those files for it to read them, and it wouldn't have been able to organize the folder locally. In the cloud, it can be assigned longer and more context heavy tasks than normal. Where you'd normally need a long back and forth in chat, work can do it in one go. It creates a checklist and goes task by task until it's done, even for hours at a time if you wanted to. Like each step in this checklist would have been a prompt in chat. Work came up with the full plan itself and executed it all in one shot. And you can push it much further than that. Work makes chatbt even more capable to help you in your work or business.
But the most important part is actually implementing it. So I have a free resource bundle called five essential resources for using chatbt at work. It covers all the capabilities, use cases, and best practices for implementing chatbt and across all different business use cases. But my favorite part is the document called 100 ways to try chatbt today. It's a bunch of project-based workflows with copypaste prompts included. It's one of the most helpful prompt databases on top of all the other things that are already in there. I'll put a link in the description to access this whole resource for free.
Now, I want to show another newer feature they have called sites. Sites are a way to create and share a live website or a lightweight app that other people can open and use. I'll say now build me a more aesthetic and visual owner dashboard using at sites. Make it easy to see how the cafe is doing and what I need to pay attention to. I'll hit at again and tag the final document it created and say this is the source of truth. So you can tag tools, documents, plugins, skills, and previous chats with the at symbol. They make it nice and easy.
Now it's off. And it actually decided to create three different style mock-ups for me to choose from. Um number two matches the logo the most and looks the most kind of simple and clean, but I want to choose one of the dark mode options. Option three looks like it has some extra charts, so I'll go with that. Although that is probably the busiest out of the three. The dashboard is finished. This looks really nice. It is definitely busy though. I'd probably want to simplify this. But it has all the information I need. Sales, inventory, labor, the most pressing items that need my attention on the right and a full list below with priority labels. Everything is in there. That is amazing. It pulls in all those different types of data and displays it all effectively. And then up top, you can see this URL is chatyppt.site. site. So, this is a live site I could go to on my phone or send to someone else.
That did a great job, but I'll need this to stay updated, and I don't want to have to prompt it every time. I want to automate that process. All I have to do is ask, "Every morning at 6:00 a.m., check this local folder for any new files that have been dropped in and organize them like you did previously into their proper folders. Then, update the spreadsheet and dashboard with the new information." No complex prompt. You just give it the task and it will figure out what to do to achieve that. And this uses the scheduled tasks feature which lets you automate prompts, tasks, skills, and workflows. You set them to automatically run daily, weekly, or on a custom schedule. I finish that. I can see all my automations on the side panel. Then under scheduled. One thing to know about these types of automations is your computer does need to be on for it to execute. Then this will run every morning at 6:00 a.m. I can just drop whatever files I want into that folder throughout the day with no thought to organization or formatting them. Then I'll wake up the next day with it all organized and an up-to-date dashboard to see it all.
Next, I want to use plugins and skills. So these are both under plugins on the side panel. And starting with plugins, this is how you connect work to external tools. There's tons of pre-built connectors, all the common ones like Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Canva, Slack, Asauna, and much, much more than that. Then there's some more unique ones like computer use and Chrome use where it can actually navigate autonomously with its own cursor and use the browser to complete tasks. Skills are preset instructions and files that let work execute a task in a repeatable way every time, like recipe cards for workflows. It has built-in skills. It has already used some in this demo. Like there was a spreadsheet skill to learn how to best read and create spreadsheets. And these plugins are actually a package that has those connectors to the tools and also skills to help work understand how to use them. And in a minute, I'll show you how to create a new skill.
I will start a new task, review the latest sales and inventory data, then come up with one special to run over the weekend based on the data. Create a marketing idea to promote it on Instagram. Generate the image in our style based on at logo suggest a caption. Then create an ative folder and save the assets there. Then at Gmail the link to me. So this will use two different plugins in one task. And this will use a pre-built skill for image creation which utilizes GPT image 2 the best image model for this type of thing.
Right now it's all finished and the image looks awesome. I'll read the markdown file first. It went with the latency lemonade and programming pretzel. It has the reasoning below like how many pretzels are on hand with 26 above par that need to be used by Monday. There's been positive customer feedback on this combo. So, a bunch of solid reasons for this choice. And it lays out the Instagram campaign, then a suggested caption that looks solid and the image looks amazing. And I can go to Google Drive and it created a brand new folder then saved the files there. So now I could share that with the person in charge of socials. And then for the email, it says my Gmail isn't connected. Um, honestly, I never really use that in here, so that's probably true. I can go reconnect it and say send it. And actually, it's still not able to use the Gmail connector. I need to check the permissions there. I've had it draft emails before, so I'll see what's going on with that plugin later. But it's actually deciding on a workaround. It says it's going to open up the browser and see if I'm logged in there, which it looks like I am. I logged into this profile here for something else in the past. So, this is actually chat GPT controlling this browser, not me. The glowing one is the chat GPT cursor. So, it found me, typed out the full email with the drive link, and then it's clicking send. And I guess I can actually see right here that the email went through. I was just sending it from this email to itself for the test. So, that got it done. And I wanted to show off the browser use plugin anyway. So, that is perfect. You can let it use the browser to go to any website, research, anything you can do in a browser, it can. and that was using the inapp browser. There's also the Chrome use plugin which will let it use a separate Chrome browser where you can be already logged into whatever accounts you want it to use. For that, you do need to download the extension on that browser as well for it to work. Then there's also the computer use plugin where it can access not only the browser but your entire computer. Can open up files, click around, open your notepad, just everything. And you can add any of those plugins on the plugins tab. And this has gotten much better than it was in the past. It's still early. It won't do everything perfectly, but if you give it a simple browser use or computer use task, most of the time it can figure it out.
Now, for these specials, I'll need to do this every weekend. So, I'll say package the weekend special workflow we just went through into a skill. Now, it will analyze all the steps we just went through. How to create the images using our logo and style, what information to draw from, to decide on the special, which drive folder to add the assets to, and email to send the result to. Then in the future, I won't have to prompt any of that. I just ask it for the specials and it will do everything in that same way every time. Or if I don't even want to send any prompt at all, I can say, "Now run that skill every Friday morning." Then it's going to create an automation and do every bit of that without me even touching it. So that's the kind of tasks you can do with chat GPT work. A lot of that would never be possible in chat.
And if you're on the web or mobile, it does those same types of things and can set up automations, use plugins and skills, create that checklist, and work through long tasks, but it won't have access to your local files like this. That's why I recommend downloading the desktop app and using it there. And if you're already used to using codecs, none of this was new. I covered a very similar example in my codeex video and went through all of these features, but this is just packaged up to make it really easy for nontechnical users to be able to jump in and use those same powers. So, I hope that helps you get started. This is an awesome update.
