☕🤖 Tutorial: 7 Ways to Make ChatGPT Run Your Business (Literally)
PLUS: we will show you how to use ChatGPT Agent mode as a Pro...
Hey AI Break fam, Luis & Rui here 👋
Most people still use ChatGPT to write emails or answer questions. But the real power? Turning it into a digital assistant that actually does the work for you.
With the Agent Mode feature, ChatGPT can click, browse, and execute tasks on autopilot → not just think, but act.
We’ve spent the past few weeks testing it, and found 7 powerful ways to turn ChatGPT into your 24/7 business assistant.
Let’s dive in 👇
🚀 First, What Makes Agent Mode So Different?
Regular ChatGPT can:
Research
Write
Brainstorm
Summarize
Agent Mode can:
Click buttons
Fill out forms
Navigate websites
Run repeating workflows
It’s not “if this, then that” automation like Zapier, it’s adaptive.
When it hits a popup or a login form, it doesn’t quit. It figures it out, just like a human would.
That makes it a total game changer for service businesses and solopreneurs.
💡 7 Ways to Use ChatGPT Agent Mode Like a Pro
—
1. 🕵️ Competitive + Customer Research on Autopilot
Tell the agent about your business and ask it to:
Research your competitors’ offers, pricing, and USPs
Scrape forums and review sites (Reddit, Quora, Trustpilot) for customer pain points and desires
Turn complaints into a pie chart
Export all quotes into a spreadsheet of customer language
💬 Use those exact words in your copy. When customers read their own phrasing on your website, conversion rates skyrocket.
🧩 Prompt to give your agent:
You are an AI research assistant. Your goal is to perform deep competitive and customer research for my business.
Business info:
[Describe your business, product/service, and target audience]
1. Research my top 5 direct competitors.
- Identify their offers, pricing, unique selling points, positioning, and website messaging.
- Return results in a table comparing key features, price ranges, and USPs.
2. Research customer language and pain points.
- Scrape forums, Reddit, Quora, and review sites relevant to my niche.
- Collect at least 30 verbatim customer quotes: what problems they face, what they love, and what they complain about most.
3. Create a pie chart showing the most common complaints.
4. Export all collected customer quotes into a downloadable spreadsheet with columns: “Problem,” “Desire,” “Complaint,” “Praise.”
Deliver both insights and visuals.2. 🧑💼 Build a “Virtual Advisory Board”
Create your own digital board of mentors: Alex Hormozi, Mark Cuban, Seth Godin, Sarah Blakely, Robert Kiyosaki.
Ask the agent to:
Research everything they’ve said or written
Extract their frameworks, decision models, and core advice
Summarize each into a profile (20–50 pages each)
Combine them into a custom GPT called “My Board”
Now, when you hit a tough decision, ask your “board” for advice.
They’ll challenge your thinking instead of just agreeing with you.
🧩 Prompt to give your agent:
Act as a research agent. I want you to build a “Virtual Advisory Board” made up of 5 world-class entrepreneurs.
Board members:
[Example: Alex Hormozi, Mark Cuban, Seth Godin, Sara Blakely, Robert Kiyosaki]
Task:
1. Research everything each mentor has publicly said, written, or taught.
2. Extract their decision-making frameworks, success principles, and mindset quotes.
3. Compile a 20–50 page detailed profile for each person including:
- Key philosophies
- Decision filters
- Signature strategies
- Common advice patterns
- Contradictions and blind spots
4. Format each profile so it can be used to simulate their thinking in a custom GPT (structured and labeled).
5. Combine them into one “Virtual Board of Advisors” document and summarize the unique strengths each member adds.
Deliver: A single PDF or Google Doc ready to upload into a custom GPT called “My Board.”3. 🎙️ Book Podcast Guest Spots Automatically
Prompt your agent to:
Find active podcasts in your niche
Filter by audience size (e.g. >1,000 listeners)
Collect host names, contact emails, and topic gaps
Add everything into a spreadsheet
Then schedule the agent to re-run this search monthly to find new shows.
⚠️ Note: the Plus plan allows 40 tasks/month, Pro plan allows 400.
