What ChatGPT Work can do

ChatGPT Work does multi-step jobs in one chat. It can read your email through the Gmail plugin, edit Google Sheets through the Google Drive plugin, search the web, read the files you attach and make a file for you to download, and it asks before it changes anything in a connected app.

For a daily job, ask it to create a scheduled task inside the same chat, so every run keeps your rules and the name of your sheet.

  • Work tasks

    Hand over a task with a clear outcome. ChatGPT works through it and shows its progress so you can steer it.

    Example: Turn meeting notes and a price list into a proposal draft.

  • Files and apps

    Work can use your files and approved plugins such as Google Drive, Slack, Gmail and SharePoint. Type @ to point it at one.

    Example: @Google Drive: summarize the latest client brief.

  • Scheduled tasks

    Describe when a task should run and ChatGPT runs it in the background. Manage tasks and their runs in the Scheduled view.

    Example: Every Friday, draft a weekly status update from this project.

Get started with ChatGPT Work

  1. Open chatgpt.com or the ChatGPT desktop app and sign in.
  2. Switch to Work and start a new task. In the desktop app, choose local or cloud Work.
  3. Pick a recipe below, copy its setup prompt and paste it as your first message.
  4. Add only the text, files or plugins the recipe needs, then follow the progress and answer any questions.
  5. Check the draft against the recipe's review checks before you use or share it.

What to check before you trust it

  • Start with the recipe's fictional sample before you add real files.
  • Connect only the plugins a task needs, and check what each one can do.
  • Approve important actions yourself. Do not let a task send messages or change records without review.
  • Longer tasks use more of your plan's usage, so check your limits before a big batch.

We have not run these setups ourselves. Recipes are written from public ChatGPT Work documentation, and their examples are illustrative.
