Build presentations and spreadsheets from web research
A user had Agent Mode build a presentation, draft an eBook and turn web research into spreadsheets; the author said the design was not award-winning but saved hours.
Done withChatGPT Agent
- What they did
- Daria Cupareanu used ChatGPT Agent Mode for three tasks. It built an AI-in-education deck from one near-bare prompt, then added her logo and brand colors. It drafted an eBook from her uploaded Substack posts in Google Drive plus approved outside sources. It crawled the Y Combinator directory into a Google Sheet and searched for each company's contact info.
- How it went
- The deck was functional but not award-winning. The eBook came out at 11 pages against the 20 requested and wasn't publish-ready. The sheet was raw but usable, though the agent stopped at the first page of 20 entries.
- Worth knowing
- Specify entry counts, output format and structure up front. Runs counted against her Plus plan's 40 monthly agent messages, and tasks took 10–30 minutes.

Keep the design clean and simple. Finish by giving me both files to download plus a list of anything you could not verify.
