The AI assistant nobody's using (that could save you 20 hours a week)

You know what's wild?

99% of business owners are using ChatGPT completely wrong.

They're asking it questions. Having it write emails. Maybe generating some content.

And they're missing the entire point.

Because ChatGPT just rolled out something most people don't even know exists yet. It's called agent mode.

And it's not just another AI feature. It's like the difference between having someone give you advice versus having an actual assistant who can complete tasks on autopilot while you sleep.

I've been testing this thing for weeks. And I'm about to breakdown seven ways to turn it into your 24/7 business assistant that handles all those $10 and $100 an hour tasks so you can focus on the $1,000 an hour decisions.

Here's what makes agent mode different:

Regular AI thinks and writes for you. That's it.

Agent mode actually does things. It has its own virtual browser where it can click buttons, fill out forms, navigate websites. Almost anything you could do on a web browser yourself.

You've probably seen tools like Zapier before. Those are okay, but they're rigid. They're like Ron Burgundy reading a teleprompter. The second something unexpected happens, they completely break.

Agents can improvise. You give them a goal and they figure out their own moves to reach it. When they hit a roadblock like a pop-up or an unexpected form, they don't just stop. They figure a way around it. Just like a real human would.

That's what makes this a game-changer.

Here is what I mean:

I had it scrape Reddit, Quora, and review sites to find exactly what my customers complain about. Not generic stuff. Actual verbatim quotes from real people describing their problems in their own words.

Then it organized everything into a pie chart showing the biggest problems in my industry. And put all that customer language into a downloadable spreadsheet by categories: problems, desires, complaints, praise.

Those complaints? Pure gold. They show you exactly what you should do differently from your competitors.

If everyone's complaining that contractors never show up on time and you're always punctual, that becomes a core selling point. Make it crystal clear you don't do business like that and you're miles ahead of competitors who don't even realize it's an issue.

And when someone reads your website and sees their own words reflected back at them, their brain goes "Finally, someone who gets it." That instant connection is what turns visitors into clients.

But here's where it gets even better:

I assembled a virtual board of directors. Mark Evans DM. Dana White. Seth Godin. Warren Buffett. Robert Kiyosaki.

I had the agent dig deep into everything these entrepreneurs have ever said, written, or taught. Capture their decision-making frameworks. Their go-to strategies. How they approach problems.

In under a half hour, I had five incredibly detailed mentor profiles. Now whenever I hit a roadblock or face a tough call, I pitch it to my virtual advisory board.

And ChatGPT is finally dialed down its tendency to pat you on the head for every half-baked idea. Now you get actual genuine criticism. It'll poke holes in your logic. Challenge your assumptions. Force you to defend your position.

It's exactly the kind of tough love every solo founder desperately needs but rarely gets.

Want more?

The agent can research podcasts whose audiences match your ideal customers. Put them all in a spreadsheet with the podcast name, estimated listeners, host names, contact email.

And here's the kicker: it analyzes what topics each show's already covered and identifies what's missing that you could bring to the table.

It can run YouTube research to find the perfect topics and titles that will actually get you views. Looking for that sweet spot between what people are searching for and what you can realistically rank for as a small channel.

It can spy on your competitors like a secret shopper. Map out exactly what the top players in your industry are doing.

How they structure their sales process. What information they present and in what order. Then compare your funnel directly to theirs and show you every gap.

It can even find you the best job candidates on Upwork in 20 minutes instead of you spending days looking through hundreds of applications.

The catch?

There are two limitations right now.

First, not all websites allow AI bots yet. Though I think as the internet shifts from people browsing to AI doing a lot of that for us, this won't be an issue anymore.

Second, if you're on the Plus plan (the lowest plan that lets you use agent mode), you're limited to 40 agent tasks per month. On the Pro plan at $200 a month, you get 400 tasks.

So you need to think strategically about what routine tasks you want to put an agent on.

But here's the thing.

While most business owners are still using AI like it's 2023, asking basic questions and getting basic answers, you could be using it to do actual work for you. Research. Analysis. Competitive intelligence. Candidate sourcing.

The businesses that figure this out first are going to have a massive advantage.

The question is: will you be one of them?
