Book appointments and send emails and messages
The poster had ChatGPT agent book appointments and send emails and messages to their boss, pausing for them to sign into email.
Done withChatGPT Agent
- What they did
- The poster said they used ChatGPT agent for two days to book appointments, send emails, and send messages to their boss. In the comments, they explained one concrete workflow: they had it find tutor contact details and write 10 personalized outreach emails in one prompt, and when it needed mail access it paused to ask them to sign into their email before continuing.
- How it went
- They said the agent actually sent the emails and felt dramatically more useful than expected. The clearest result they gave was sending about 10 tailored tutor emails; the thread also shows limits around design quality and some uncertainty from others about autonomous email access.
- Worth knowing
- The practical catch was email access: it asked the user to sign into their email manually, then carried on and sent the messages.
