TL;DR

What did u/Ice2jc use ChatGPT for?

A photographer and videographer connects an always-on ChatGPT agent to Notion and Google Drive to plan each day, draft social posts and watch competitors. They say "even with the bugs it has been extremely helpful," and that comments on prospects' posts eventually lead to sales calls.

What they did

The agent reads their Notion goals, to-do lists, coach tasks, job notes and prospect list. It plans the workday with them, and at 5 p.m. suggests tasks to fill open calendar slots for the next day. Around the 18th of each month it picks client photos and videos from Google Drive, writes captions and adds them to the social draft for approval. It drafts comments on prospects' posts, reports on 50 competitors every two weeks, asks for a 9 p.m. log of what got done, and passes messages between Claude and Codex.

How it went

They say "even with the bugs it has been extremely helpful," and that comments on prospects' posts eventually lead to sales calls.

Worth knowing

  • They say it is "a little buggy sometimes," can only do 2 or 3 things at once, gets confused by wording, and doesn't always flag when an automation failed.
  • Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026); Notion: free plan; Plus: US$12/month, or US$10/month on a yearly plan (US$120/year) (checked Oct 26, 2026); Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).
