Original video: ChatGPT’s New Automation Features Are INSANE! (New ChatGPT Agents Revealed) · Channel: Rob The AI Guy · 15:26 · Watch on YouTube

Topics: AI agents, Task and workflow automation, AI models

Summary

The video presents three ways to automate work with ChatGPT: Pages, agents built through the API platform, and the Dot assistant. It demonstrates Pages for recurring news, social media, email, and schedule workflows, and shows how Zapier’s MCP connection can extend access to thousands of apps. It then walks through creating an API agent and assigning it tools, before using Dot to retrieve YouTube analytics and create a Google Sheets report. The presenter emphasizes that connecting Zapier can make these automations work with apps that are not available through ChatGPT’s built-in connectors.

Key points

Pages combine writing, collaboration, generated content, visualizations, and scheduled automations in one place.
The presenter uses a Page to gather AI news, draft social media content, and track published posts and results.
A daily management Page can draw on calendar and Gmail information to display schedules, important emails, and tasks.
Zapier’s MCP connection is presented as a way to connect ChatGPT to more than 9,000 apps and 66,000 triggers and actions.
The video demonstrates creating an API agent from a template or by describing its task, then configuring its model, tools, and behavior.
Agents can be given access to Zapier and other tools, and can delegate work to sub-agents.
Dot can run tasks in the cloud and send updates to the user, including notifications on a phone.
The presenter uses Dot and Zapier to retrieve YouTube analytics, create a Google Sheets report, and schedule the task to recur.

00:00 Chat GPT just released three brand new ways for you to be able to build AI agents, for you to be able to build AI automations, and even for you to create a 247 AI assistant. By the end of this video, you’re going to know what all three of these new features are, how you could use them, and some pretty incredible use cases. So, that first new chatd upgrade that I wanted to cover is something that I haven’t seen that many people talk about, and I don’t know why because I think that this is the most powerful. So, normally I save the best for last. We are starting with the best in this video. So when you now pull up

00:30 chatbt, we’re going to be able to come over here and see spaces. This is where your videos, your images, your library is going to live. But most importantly, if we actually come over into pages right here, this has to be the most powerful feature of any AI tool I’ve seen because this is basically an all-in-one place where you could separate a bunch of different things. For example, if we actually come over here, click in a your guide to pages. pages are a place for you to write, for you to build, and for you to collaborate with both chat GBT and your teammates. As we can see in the top right hand

01:00 corner right here, you could actually build out schedules. So, you could build out automations that will actually happen automatically on this page. We can show comments here so people can comment on it, either you, your team, or even AI. And if we come over to share right here, you could share this with anybody that you want, your team members or other people. In addition to that and we come over here to the top left page, we could see that we could generate things from directly inside of here. We could generate images from directly inside of here. We could visualize whatever we want and we could insert things. And if we click and insert, look

01:30 at this. We could insert visualizations, additional pages, media like images or files, assistant instructions. We have all these different formats that we could use right here. You could even insert a highlight or a prompt. Now, if we come down here, I want to show you what this actually looks like. So, we could play with this inside of this page. If we type in slash, it then pulls up all those things that we saw before. If we come over here, we can mention people, we can mention pages, we can mention chats, we could bring our dot in here. Absolutely insane. In addition to

02:00 that, if we actually come down here and type in / page, we could see we could create another page inside of this one. We could link to another page. We could generate another page. We could reference another page all from inside of this one. In addition to that, we could share. And this basically right here walks you through exactly how this works. If we come down here, we could also see we could type in / visualize and this actually goes through and then creates visualizations inside of here. For example, this created a savings growth chart right here. This other one created what Saturn and the stars look

02:31 like, which is pretty awesome. This other one is actually a piano that was made. And if we come down here, it also shows other ways that we could actually use this. Now, I want to show you some examples of how I am personally using this. If we come over into my pages right here, we could see I have an AI content inbox. This updates itself every single morning at 9:00 a.m. goes through exactly what is trending in AI news. Actually gives me an inbox of this. So I have the story, the announcement, the update, and the official source. If we scroll down, this also then tells me

03:03 everything I need to create for all of my social media content based off of this. In addition to that, if we scroll down here, we could also see it actually drafts out all of my content for me, which is absolutely incredible. And if we actually scroll all the way down here, we could see I can also track my published posts and their results. And it literally will automate every single part of this process. Now, if we actually come over into the chat, I can show you exactly how I actually created this. I literally just said make a page

03:33 that will help me keep track of the latest AI news for Chad GBT, Gemini, Grock and Claude. I want to be able to manage all the news and my social media posts from just one page. We can see it took almost 4 minutes and it was able to set it up. For some reason, it told me that it couldn’t save it. Literally, all I said was configure it and then it was able to actually do this. And this is just the first page that I set up. If we come over here into pages, I’ll show you another one that I set up for my daily management right here. This one is connected to my calendar and my Gmail.

04:04 It goes through my day at a glance, gives me today’s schedule, gives me important emails that I need to actually reply to. I could click straight into them. I can actually come through here and check off all the things that I’ve done. I have my daily checklist. I have my to-do list. I know things that I’m waiting on. And this literally goes through my schedule for tomorrow. also if there are any conflicts to solve, any notes, completed work, source coverage, and we can see this went through a 100 different emails in order to actually create this. Again, absolutely insane that I can now manage my entire life

04:35 from all of these pages. Now, in terms of actually setting one of these up from scratch, I want to show you exactly how you could do this. So, what we’re going to do is we’re going to come over here. We’re going to click on page in the right hand corner right here. We are going to name this sponsorship triage. Now, what we’re going to do is we’re going to come over here and we’re going to work with chat GBT. What we’re going to say is, I want you to set this page up using my Gmail plugin in order to create a sponsorship triage page. I want

05:08 to know outstanding items, people I need to follow up with, responses that are due today, etc. Now, I’m just going to come over here. I’m going to fix this spelling mistake. We’re going to send this off. And this is literally going to set up this page for me. I literally don’t have to do anything else. And what makes this incredibly powerful is that this actually works with all of my different chatbt plugins right here. Now, there is one problem when it comes to chatbt plugins. This only gives you

05:40 access to the tools that you are going to see right here. But there is a workaround where you can actually connect your chatbt to more than 9,000 different apps. And guess what? This is going to work inside of pages. It’s going to give your dot access to them. It’s going to give chatb work access to them. And the agents that I’m going to show you later where you can literally come over here and create agents. This will also give this access to them. Now, the way that you’ll actually be able to do this is by hooking chatbt up to Zapier’s MCP right here. Because what

06:11 this unlocks is absolutely incredible. This gives your Chad GBT access to more than 9,000 different apps and 66,000 different triggers and actions. And what’s incredible is that this allows you to simply go through and literally connect this to 9,000 of the most popular apps and most popular software. For example, if I come over here, I could type in school and I could see that this actually has a connector for school. Now, if I came back over to JBT and I typed in school here, we could see that there is not a connector. So, if

06:41 you’ve ever had an issue where the connectors just aren’t available for the tools you want to use, I would bet that Zapier will actually let you be able to connect these. And getting this set up is literally as simple as you signing up. From here, you could come in and actually choose your agent. For example, chatbt. And then this tells you exactly what you need to do in order to do this. It’s pretty simple. We’re going to click on this right here. We’re going to come over here. We’re going to paste this right here. And then we’ll be able to see that we’re just going to click right here. We’re going to add on create

07:12 custom MCP. We’re going to call this Zapier MCP for me. You can name it whatever you want. That’s just what I’m going to name it. Actually, I’m going to name it Zapier MCP. I’m going to put version two. We’re simply going to come over here, paste this in. We’re going to click on I understand. And then we’re going to click approve. And then we’re going to click create as a plugin right here. And now this is going to go through and prompt us to actually access our Zap here. And then from there, we’ll be able to see that this is connected. And then from back inside of here, we

07:42 could see that we could go through and add all of our different apps. We can actually access all of these different skills for each of these. And this is now going to give our pages dots, anything that we do in chatbt, access to all of our apps for free. Now, if you want to get started with Zapier’s MCP today for yourself so that you can connect Chat GBT to thousands of apps that you’re currently doing work in manually, I would strongly suggest you go to that pin comment below and get started with Zapier today for free. This tool is an absolute no-brainer. It’s

08:13 going to make Chat GBT 10 times stronger than it currently is because it’s going to give your automations access to thousands of different apps. And this works whether you’re building agents, whether you’re working in pages, whether you’re working with dots or just working with chatbt work. So go to that pin comment below and get started with it today for free. So now that we come back to check on what we were creating before, we could see that this is all ready to go. I have all my priorities, my sponsor, the contact, the next action gives me everything that I need to actually go through and I need to actually respond and send follow-ups

08:45 for. I have sponsors that I’m actually waiting for. Right here we have a bunch of different payments that I am waiting on. This is absolutely incredible that it was able to go through my email and actually figure all of this out. And what’s pretty incredible here is that I can now actually get this to go through and if I click on the schedules button right here, I can manage all the different schedules and I can get this to repaul this multiple times a day on a daily basis. I can make it more complex, less complex. I can add however much control I want to this. But that was all

09:15 just the first type of agent. The second type of agent is actually going to be available from the API platform. We’re now going to see that we have agents right here. We could see new and there basically three different ways that we could create agents from inside of here. For example, maybe we want to create a bulk invoice and contractor viewer. If we actually click into this, we could see that there is a template for this. We could choose the model. We could choose the format. We could actually add sub agents. So, we can let this agent delegate work to other agents if we wanted to. And we could actually give

09:46 this access to any tools that we wanted. Now, if we come over here and click on add MCP server, we can see this is where we can add a custom MCP. If we click on view all, this will actually show us all the pre-builtin MCP servers. Now, what we’re going to find is pretty similar to what we found on ChatBT. If we scroll down here, there’s really not that many. In fact, there’s only like 50 in here. But we could see right here, Zapier, which again, we could connect to incredibly quickly. We could simply just click on connect here. This will then actually connect. And again, like I was

10:16 showing you before, this then allows you to actually access all the different tools that you have gone ahead and actually set up here. Gives your agents access to more than 9,000 different apps and 66,000 different triggers. Again, if you are creating any type of automation in Chat GBT and you are not using Zapier, it is going to be like you operating in the stone age. In addition to being able to actually going through here and using one of these templates, we could also click back into agent right here. And we could create a new

10:47 agent by going through and generating it. All we have to do is actually click here and describe what we want our agent to do. For example, I want this agent to use our Zapier MCP connection to scan my YouTube analytics on a daily basis and keep track of my results in a Google sheet. We’re going to click on create right here. This is then going to use AI to actually name our agent to actually go through and describe the model behavior. You want to make sure it has

11:18 the tone, tool, usage, and response style right here. And now we can see this actually goes through and this sets all of this up. This wrote all of it, the output format, literally everything that this needs access to. All we now need to do to make sure that this actually works is come over here and make sure this has access to our Google Drive to Google Sheets and to Zapier and it will be able to do it. In addition to that, we want to make sure that we have web search turned on right here. And we could actually come over here and we could start a session to actually show what this looks like. And we could host

11:49 this via OpenAI hosted or self-hosted. And then we’ll be able to actually run this agent, fix it, find any errors that it has and all of that. In addition to that, if we click on building codecs right here, this will actually allow us to install the OpenAI developers plugin right here where we could go through and continue working on this agent, building out this agent, building out this automation from inside of Codeex, which makes this so useful. Now, the final type of automation that we’re going to be able to set up from inside of Chat

12:20 GBT. And the way that we can actually automate things is going to be using your DOT. And DOT is pretty incredible because you can call DOT, you could have it in your Slack, you could message it, it has its own computer, but they have a lot of competition when it comes to this. There’s Muse, there’s Grockbot, there’s all these other tools. And I actually wanted to show you something. So, I just got a notification on my phone right here. This is literally from Dot. So, it can talk to you while you’re on the go, while you’re on your computer, works in the cloud. It’s pretty cool. Now, the use case I wanted

12:50 to show you with this is if we come over here, we could see that I have Zapier connected to my YouTube. I have it connected to my Google Sheets. Now, if we come back over here and we actually come over into plugins, what we’re going to find is that if I try to find a plugin for YouTube, we could see YouTube itself doesn’t actually have a plugin. So, I won’t be able to reveal my analytics. But with Zapier, I can. So, what I’m going to do is I’m going to come over here to my dot and I’m going to say using the Zapier MCP, I want you to pull my YouTube analytics for the

13:23 last 30 days and create a report in Google Sheets. I want to confirm that I like it. And then we’ll schedule this out to be automated. So, I’m just going to fix this spelling mistake right here. We’re going to be able to actually give it this task right here. And now this is going to go off and this is going to automate this and get this done. It’ll notify me on my phone and this is how you actually begin to go through and hand these things off. So this is going through this is going to do is it’ll update me when it’s done. And basically

13:54 what I would begin to do now either with dot with pages or with a customuilt agent via the API is you want to begin to go through all the things that you do on a daily basis during your day and begin to automate them via all these different tools and features. And so now what’s cool is this actually communicates back with me and me communicating with it doesn’t actually ruin its work like with most other AI assistants that you have. So, this went through and actually found, hey, you actually have connection to two different channels via the Zapier link.

14:24 Which one should I go with? So, now that this is done, I’m absolutely mindb blown by this because I was actually in the kitchen when this finished up. And look at this. This literally went through and messaged me and not just once. It messaged me a bunch of different times. This is better than the employees that used to work for me. So, we could come over here and we could see gave me some data. I said, “Where’s the Google sheet link?” And it says, “I pulled it, but the sheet’s not ready yet.” Now has it. So now if we click on this, we could actually come over here and look at this. It gives me all of the data. It literally even charted it out. Gives me the key takeaways. I didn’t ask for

14:56 this. This went above and beyond. It gives us a 7-day period right here. We could see it goes through a daily report of all this. Goes through my top videos. Goes through all the sources. And guess what? Again, I didn’t ask it to do all this. It actually took advantage. It did this. I like this. And I’m going to have this update this every single day. Give me the takeaways. And this is incredible. But again, none of this would have been possible without Zapier. Because if you want to be able to give all of your agents, all your automations access to every tool that you use, not

15:26 just the short list that ChatPD gives you, Zapier is the way to do it. So go to that pin comment below, get started with it today. Now, if you enjoyed this video and you want to learn about all of ChatBT’s other updates, I would strongly suggest you check out this video right here. It walks you through a ton of them, both for ChatBT and Claude that you’ve probably missed. I’ll see you over there.
