Ep 78 - Automating ChatGPT + AI Workflows With Guest Greg Howe

Author: Cary Weston July 22, 2025 Duration: 42:25

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The ChatGPT Experiment, host Cary Weston brings back Greg Howe, founder of Gimme Info, for a deep dive into how small businesses and solopreneurs can use AI and automation to reclaim their time. Greg specializes in helping non-technical professionals streamline daily operations using tools like Make.com, ChatGPT, and Gmail. Together, they unpack real-world use cases—like email triage, customer sentiment tracking, and task automation—and show how simple automation can free up your day for higher-value work.


3 KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Email Management Can Be Smarter: Greg explains how tools like Make.com can read emails, assess their tone with ChatGPT, and sort them into Gmail folders—automatically separating value from noise.

  • Automation Starts With Understanding Your Process: Before plugging in AI, record your workflow (using tools like Loom or Scribe) to map out your steps. This becomes the foundation for training AI to help you.

  • Use AI Strategically, Not Just Technically: ChatGPT isn't just a chatbot—it can serve as a thought partner, strategist, and even a SOP (standard operating procedure) generator if you feed it the right context.
