Ep 77 - ChatGPT Summer Hacks: Tasks, Floor Plans, and Wins

Author: Cary Weston July 16, 2025 Duration: 23:01

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this solo summer episode, Cary Weston dives into listener feedback, experiments with ChatGPT's task scheduling features, and shares a new approach for improving workflow using what he calls the "employee" or "intern" method. He also announces the winner of the $100 listener survey gift card and previews what's coming next for the ChatGPT Experiment community.

3 KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The Employee Approach: Treat ChatGPT like a new hire—give it proper onboarding by sharing your goals, audience, and success metrics before expecting quality output. This foundation leads to more meaningful and helpful results.

  • Tasks & Scheduling in ChatGPT: Cary sets up daily scheduled tasks for GPT to pull relevant articles for his podcast. While useful, the current interface has limitations, like the inability to view or edit tasks outside the original conversation.
    *****UPDATE: Thanks for a listener note, I found out tasks can be managed here: https://chatgpt.com/tasks

  • Renderings and Custom Guidance: ChatGPT can act like an interior designer—Cary used it to generate 3D renderings from 2D floor plans by having GPT ask questions to better understand his vision. This approach works for many tasks, not just design.
