TL;DR
What did u/_necrobite_ use ChatGPT for?
A hobby creator running Instagram and TikTok accounts about Magic: The Gathering and other card games has ChatGPT search for news every Sunday, check sources and prepare short articles for a monthly digital magazine, with content planned weeks ahead in Google Sheets. They have built a structured routine that automates the boring parts while they keep the creative work for themselves. They are now weighing whether Gemini fits better, since their files already live in Google Drive and Sheets.
What they did
Every Sunday, ChatGPT searches for relevant trading card game news, checks sources and prepares short articles. They publish a monthly digital magazine of news, interviews and community topics, with each article around 1,000 to 1,100 characters. They plan Instagram and TikTok content two to three weeks ahead in Google Sheets and use ChatGPT for captions, content ideas, performance analysis and brainstorming. They are building a system that adds researched articles to monthly spreadsheets with headlines, sources and ready-to-use text.
How it went
They have built a structured routine that automates the boring parts while they keep the creative work for themselves. They are now weighing whether Gemini fits better, since their files already live in Google Drive and Sheets.
Worth knowing
- The spreadsheet step is still being built, and it is not yet clear whether it can run without extra automation. Always open the sources ChatGPT lists before publishing news, since search results can be wrong or out of date.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).
