ChatGPT Agent Workspaces Just Dropped: Build 24/7 AI Agents for Your Team (No Code)The video covers OpenAI’s newly released ChatGPT Agent Workspaces, showing how to build cloud-based AI agents that run 24/7, can be shared across a team, and can operate on schedules or human triggers. The presenter explains that agent workspaces are positioned as an evolution of Custom GPTs (which will remain available) and demonstrates creating an “AI News SEO writer” agent by describing the task in plain English, then reviewing its auto-generated plan, instructions, schedule controls, and guardrails. They note access requires a ChatGPT Business account and discuss channels (ChatGPT and Slack), app connectors (e.g., Google Drive, Notion, HubSpot, Gmail), and limitations such as WordPress not being available and a test where Google Docs publishing didn’t execute as expected. A second “school growth operator” agent is built to pursue daily growth goals, and the video highlights admin permissions, approval gates, audit logs, and OpenAI Academy guidance, plus upcoming triggers, dashboards, integrations, and Codex support, before promoting additional training in the AI Profit Boardroom community.00:00 Agent Workspaces Overview00:46 Templates and App Connections01:44 Access Requirements Business Plan02:40 Creating Your First Agent04:02 Agent Plan and Scheduling05:26 Editing Setup Memory and Skills06:58 Use Cases and Case Studies09:13 Agent Brief and Workflow Rules11:27 Testing the Agent Live13:35 Connectors and Publishing Options15:53 Google Drive Integration17:45 Running on a Schedule Team Sharing18:23 OpenAI Academy Agent Training18:49 Tool vs Time Triggers19:23 Quarter Goal Agent20:14 Autonomous Growth Operator21:23 Analytics and Lead Triage23:12 Triggers and Guardrails24:07 Debugging Google Drive24:28 Underrated Tools Q&A26:06 Fixing Workspace Popups27:03 Improving Agent Outputs28:22 Multi Agent Collaboration29:52 What Workspace Agents Are32:18 Controls Pricing and Future34:28 Recap and Next Steps

So today we have a brand new update from chatgbt which is agent workspaces and that's what we're going to be looking at today. So basically you can use these agent workspaces and you can start using them to generate these automated AI agents that work 24-7 for you. They have a bunch of templates as you can see right here. We'll be looking at how to set them up, how to keep work moving 24-7 with AI agents, what this update means and how to use it etc and how to get access to all of it.
So this is a brand new setup for agents right literally just dropped a few hours ago. Codex powered AI agents for teams and this is a new workspace for AI agents inside chatgbt. So it is basically designed to be super easy to build you just select AI agents in the left hand side you set you explain whatever you want to build right so you can create an agent you can browse the team directory you can also have a built by me section a goldie agency directory is like you know it's basically the name of your company with a directory of AI agents and then you've got templates as well if you just want to kick start with something as well and you can also link this to other apps so one of the best things about this is you can link it to other apps you can add in skills and you can basically use this with other tools like for example maybe you want to connect it to gmail or to slack or whatever you want right that's basically what this is about and so one thing to note here this is quite important previously a lot of people using gpts right gpts were pretty cool custom gpts powered and trained and personalized to whatever you want but now these are kind of an evolution of gpts that's what we're looking at today right and so you can see it right here now one thing to note is when I started using it I had to get the business version of the setup right so you can see I'm on a business account under chat gpt I do have a personal section here but this is under the business account and so just one thing to note there if you before you're wondering like okay how do we get access to it or why is it not appearing in my sidebar it's because you may not have a business account right that's one thing to now these agents they run in the cloud so they keep working even when you're not it's kind of like open claw almost where you've got you know the chat gpt version of these ai agents you can set up and they're just running in the cloud 24 7 kind of like open claw and also bear in mind like they do connect to slack which means like once it's actually built you can talk to it inside chat gpt you can manage it inside slack as well and you can use it together as well which is pretty nice so that's a good setup right there now let's have a look here so if we want to get started we just need to describe what we want to do each day so if we click on create agent we can go from here this is very similar to something like claude managed agents that came out recently although from what i've seen personally so far it seems a lot simpler to set up a chat gpt agent workspace than it is to set up a claude managed agent workspace right it seems way simpler because you just write in plain text what you want you can attach files if you want to you've got a bunch of templates here so let's try an example we're going to say okay research everyday research the latest ai news and then create an seo blog post based on that right and we're going to paste that in like so and that's going to start working on creating this now i don't think it's just going to go off and automatically create the agent i think it's going to give you some steps to start using this but it should be pretty easy and simple to set this up once we've got going on this right now one thing to note as well is like gpts will remain available so even though this is an evolution this is going to stay available but what they're actually planning to do here is convert and make it easy to convert gpts into workspace agents so if you have a custom gpt and you're like that would be an amazing agent it should be quite easy in the future to convert those two together right and now you can see we've got the agent plan right so over here it says here's an outline for the agent i can build for you let me know if you have any edits otherwise i can get building you can always make changes later mate right it's got the name so agent plan and then it says the name of the tools ai news seo writer this agent will research the latest ai news each day and turn the most promising topic into an seo focused blog post from here we've got the channels so we can say okay run every day in chat gpt again i think you could set that up in slack slack and chat gpt the only channels i've heard of being set up here we've got capabilities right so you can see you can research ai news you can find seo angles you can draft blog posts now i assume those are going to be skills that it sets up but we'll try that in a second and then from here we're going to click start building so it should start building that off right now and it's pretty simple and easy to get this set up right now if you want to see some examples of what people are doing with this by the way then i'll show you that in a second what you can see here as well is it's got like a setup so it's going to automatically fill this in for us right so for example it's already giving us an icon which is pretty cool like these emoji icons for the agent pretty nice right follows me around follows the cursor around that's what we like and then we've got the name of it so we can edit that later if we want to we can add a channel right now from what i've seen this only connects with slack it doesn't seem to connect with anything else so that's kind of a not to be honest with you i would like that to to be set up with telegram or something more useful i try to avoid slack because it's just it feels like the least productive place in the world and then from here we can also add apps we can add skills we can upload files and we can change the memory right now in the meantime it's actually thinking about what it's going to do right so i wouldn't edit it until it's fully finished right wait for it to finish see what it's done see what it feels in and then you can add in the gaps later like one thing for sure must be the memory i'm sure this is not going to have the perfect memory on the first time around right it might take some context from what i've already trained on but the main thing is like i don't think it's going to have memory of for example like our offers so what our business is etc and then you can see it's ticking off the to-do list here so it created a plan created a to-do list of what it's going to work on and then from here it's going to start writing the agent instructions it's going to add the chat gpt description it's going to create the first live version of the agent and then it's going to add the daily chat gpt schedule right so again this is about agents that work 24 7 agents that are just doing stuff without us now one thing i would really like to do here is connect it to something like wordpress or notion so i can just automatically publish the articles i don't even have to think about like okay what are we doing with this but we'll see what we'll do in a second we'll see how it goes in a second right now you can see over here we've got some ideas on case studies of what other people have built right so this is the chat gpt website and they've said for example someone built a software review agent that triages software requests enforces stuff routes approvals opens tickets with clear next steps and you can see the actual videos of this stuff being set up which is pretty nice as well we've got another one here so a product feedback routing agent that captures feedback from slack support and public channels prioritizes what matters and turns signals into weekly product action that is kind of it feels like that's been written by ai to be honest with you but you get the point we've got a weekly metrics reporting agent that auto pulls friday data generates charts drafts the narrative and delivers a business report and then we have this is this is something that a lot i know a lot of people want this because i get this question and i have already existing workflow in the air profit boarding for it but i get this question on a weekly basis right people always ask me how do we do lead outreach how do we do lead generation with ai agents this might be a good option so it says a lead outreach agent that qualifies inbound leads drafts tailored follow-ups and updates to crm i think a lot of people want that let's have a look at some of these other stuff yeah and then we got this one and honestly like unless you're a developer you're not going to be creating a software review agent i do think that out of everything i've seen this one would be the most powerful use case right and also seo because you know i just know so many people who are creating seo content with ai at this point it's like if you're not then you're probably missing out on on some traffic so we'll review this in a second if you've got any questions as we go along feel free to ask let's see what questions we got so far so ashen says air okay and rana says amazing thank you all right that's the questions covered so far if you have any questions as we go live feel free to ask and then we've got the name of it here i'm going to add some apps in a second what the summary of changes so it tells us what we've done and we can actually try the chat already we can try the agent in a second now it gives us a roll over here so this is the agent brief right it says your daily ai news research and seo writing agent now bear in mind i didn't create any of this this is an ai agent where i can be so lazy i don't even have to give it a name like that's the point we're at like i've literally all i said was do this just do this mate and it's created the whole agent for us which is pretty nice so it says your job is to identify the most newsworthy and search worthy ai development from the latest public news then turn it into a clear accurate seo focused blog post and so that's got the role now and then it will also understand the daily workflow here so and by the way this is all edited So I can just type in whatever I want over here to change it and then just click update at the top and you can See when it was last updated Over here. You can also see what's been scheduled.
So how many scheduled tasks or what sort of schedule is running on You can add a new schedule edit the existing one or even run a preview for these Existing ones or you can delete the schedule as well, right? So that works pretty nicely We got the analytics and that sort of thing and then what else we got here use yeah, okay good good good compare Candidate topics. The only thing I don't like about this I just have this sneaky feeling that a eyes that it's gonna give me really old news headlines I just I know where a I falls down on news research, but we'll come on to that in a second So just be aware that this will not be perfect the first time around, right? Especially if it's been designed by AI because AI doesn't think maybe as far forward as you right sometimes makes mistakes and then compare Candidate topics and choose the one with the best combination of timeliness relevance Likely search demand ability support a blog post with credible sourcing read multiple sources before drafting Produce one SEO blog focus strain and then it's got topic selection rules I will give you some details on what we want, but this is looking pretty good, right?
It's got the output format. It's got ideas and safety, which is good Is your SEO guidance here and you can tell you this as much as you want the more you use it the better It's gonna get right From here. We're gonna click on play. So we're gonna test this out, right?
So you've got the chat for designing the agent on the left hand side and we have the chat for actually using the agent On the right hand side, by the way, how much does that look like a custom GPT? It kind of feels like a custom GPT. I guess the only difference Maybe this is interesting but I think from what I can see the biggest difference between this and something like Custom GPT's is that it runs on a schedule and it you can talk to it inside slack I might be wrong, but that seems like the biggest difference here. So we're gonna click on this and we'll say okay Go ahead Or we can actually you see how it's added these nice emojis and these buttons and then also we'll be able to review the activity So we can click on right on today's post We'll click that right now and then we'll see what we get back which subscription is worth it right now Jen spark or which one I would say out of all the best the best subscription is Claude right Claude desktop by far the best it's powerful.
It works really well. I use it for all my SEO workflows right now Crazy, it's crazy. It's too good called desktop, especially if you're using 4.6 I wouldn't switch to 4.7 at this point. I just After a week of testing it I can tell you now it's not as good as 4.6 Especially if you're using old prompts, so for me personally, I would use Claude desktop use Claude code and then make sure that you're using Yeah, make sure that you're using 4.6 inside there.
That's that's my favorite subscription right now. Is it free? No, it is not free This is on the business plan, right? So we're using agent workspaces on the business plan I have to switch my plan on chat GPT to get access to this so you can see here It's working through the workflow, right?
So we click a button it starts working through it and we can see what it's working on, which is pretty nice It looks clean. It looks nice. It looks nice and clean. So For example here, it will show you.
Okay, I'm planning the news research. I'm scanning the news headlines I'm gonna write the SEO blog post in a second, right now What I would like to do is connect this to WordPress. I don't know if I can or not Let's click on the plus sign here. So you can actually add extra reason and effort We can have photos and files, but I don't see an option to add Connectors on the left-hand side.
Let's see if we can. Ah, there we go. Okay, let's we can add advanced logic We can test the agent we can improve it, right? So I'm gonna click on improve this agent.
Help me improve it I'm gonna say I want to connect this to a platform for example, like WordPress where I can publish a content So I'm gonna hit enter on the details there. See if it can do that for me By the way, it does take a long time. Like you can see it's scanning through the latest research here I do like the fact is added April 23rd 2026 Inside the news headlines, but look at that. It's only looking at like opening.
I go on anthropic on this Result, which is a bit weird, but then on the second one is looking at AI news. So maybe it's useful So it's coming through now and you can see you can connect it to Google Drive, which could be quite useful So we can connect this to Google Drive. We could load in HubSpot WordPress is not available Maybe we could add a custom WordPress connection. Although that's not absolutely ideal is it but that could be a good option We could also let's see what else we got here So we could click on set up a custom WordPress connection and just see if this works But I mean literally in one click we created a full agent with the workspace So it's pretty simple and easy to do that, wasn't it?
So thinking about the word I have a feeling it's gonna struggle. Let's see if it can do that So we can add a custom MCP. What else I mean, there's a lot of apps you can connect here See, I mean if you're on Wix, you can connect Wix and then you can post from Wix directly What else you got here? That could be good doesn't link to LinkedIn.
Can we add I Wonder if go high level is in there. Oh god. I love always not in there notion notion could be a good option Otherwise github, you know, you could post If you were trying to create for example a ISEO agent from here well you could create something like a Link to github and then you have your website hosted on github and every time you publish a page it goes for github and publish It's the website. That could be a good option.
And then the other one is notion Gmail Google Drive, do you know what you could just put it in a Google Doc and then approve it in the morning and publish It right. So for example, if we click on Google Drive, we can just connect this So, let's continue here we're gonna connect this account get that bad boy set up and then we should be good to go So we've connected Google Drive and then what we can actually do once we've done that properly now we can configure this All right, so it seems to be okay in terms of the configuration So you can actually change for example what it can connect to how it can connect to it what you can do with it But it could pull in spreadsheets and that sort of thing, right? So if we now go back we've got this app connected to The agent and we can go inside the chat here and say, okay so what I want you to do at the end of the workflow is I want you to Publish it to a new Google Doc on Google Drive And so now we can actually edit that inside the workflow, right and then we can update that later In fact, we can update that now. I think that could be done So you can see a bunch of examples how you can use it.
This would be the most useful for me again I think it'd be easier if you Well number one we need to add more memory to it So we'll do that in a second But number two be easier if you could just publish this straight to WordPress like it's pretty crazy If you can't so it's updating the agent now Adding it to the workflow. What I want to do here is I'm gonna go over to look it's updating the instructions there We'll come on to this And if we go on to agents, where is it now? There we go So you can see agents here and you've got this new agent that was just set up here All right, I wonder if we can see the activity on the session we just ran so it's got no activity Even though we ran a test run here So it's now connected and if we have a look at the workflow here It says at the end of the workflow create a new Google Doc and publish to finish post there So now if we go back to the agent, we need to update this so make sure you update any changes before you move on and then We can test this out over here, so this is the agent designer This is the front end of the agent bear in mind This is shared across everyone who has access to your chat GPT business account So your team can learn this stuff with you, right? That's how it's gonna work.
So over here We're gonna say okay write today's post and we can just leave that running in the background and it should start working in a second So spinning it up, right and then you know, you could have that running every 24 hours You could have it running three times a day. Whatever you want. It could be finding new keywords for you It could be publishing whatever you want. Well, that's basically how it works.
Let's have a look if we need anything else from here So they do have this quite interesting on OpenAI Academy. They've set up a section on how to build AI agents So if you want more training on this, it's actually got a full workflow here, right? So it talks you through like how to use it What are agents to trigger the process the skills the tools the systems and it actually tells you like, okay Here's what agents are most useful for so something repeatable that you do daily When there's a clear format for the output time based or event driven stuff and tool based, right? so for example tools would be like You know like this one that we were looking at a second ago All right, as you can see so you can see here that it's starting to work for his magic research topics It's still in the research phase here.
I would expect that to probably run for like 20 minutes before it's fully done We can come back to that later and have a look and see what actually does Let's see. What else we got here on the details. So this is the Academy for OpenAI So content creation is one that they actually recommend planning and coordination could be good This is interesting. So you could say to chat GPT.
All right I've got this goal for the quarter take this goal and turn it into scheduled tasks and then each day work towards doing those tasks Right, that would be an interesting one. Let me show you how that would work. So if you go to the agents section Here, right. We'll click on create agent and then we say Come up with an AI agent where I give it goals and then it works towards those goals each day and Schedule it into work automatically.
So the goal right now is is to grow the AI profit boardroom community on school. That's what we're focused on. Create an agent that on a daily basis works towards achieving that. And also tell me which apps we need to connect to make sure that's done.
Now, I think that would be way more autonomous as an agent because it's not just like a fixed workflow, right? SEO is very fixed. But if you could have something autonomous that's working 24 seven towards growing the community that we have, well then that's gonna be way more powerful, right? And also the tasks that it works on each day are gonna change when it clicks on the daily schedule, right?
And also this one you could connect to a lot more apps to give it more power, right? So for example, it could have access to a Gmail account so that it can send emails and do outreach, right? It could have access to Wix so it can start blog posts and start writing content daily. But if it's working 24 seven towards growing something or towards getting more attention or almost like a marketing machine that runs autonomously, that will be super powerful, right?
That's what we're talking about here. So that will be a whole different level to this and we're gonna work on that right now. You can see it set up this school growth operator. And again, like you wanna add more channels, you wanna add more memory, you wanna give it as much context as you can when you're building out these agents.
So that's another one. Planning and coordination is pretty exciting. We've already set up the content creation one. Analysis and recommendation, right?
So it can pull in some data. Now, this could be quite useful. For example, if you connect it to your website's analytics and then it pulls in the data daily, you know, that will be really useful. Product research data, for example.
Triage and routing is interesting too. So if you get a lot of inbound leads, it could review the inbound items from your CRM. So for example, if it connects to HubSpot and your CRM is HubSpot, it could review and pull in the latest leads, categorize and prioritize them, route or create a next step artifact and notify the owner or requester. Now, another way that you could do that if you don't have HubSpot as your CRM is like it connects to your calendar and it sees who signed up for a sales call, for example, from your calendar, and then uses that for the next actions as well.
That would be very autonomous. That would be a really powerful workflow. We can see here that this is beginning to set up now. So using an agent in chat GPT.
Okay, yeah, this is what it recommends as well. So like try to go for simple stuff first, right? Don't try and create anything too crazy at first. Just go for something simple and then you can crank it up later.
You don't need to go all in. And that's one thing that I would recommend. Like for example, building this agent right here, a lot more could go wrong if I connect it to more apps, whereas building out the SEO writer agent, that's very simple, right? Low risk, pretty chill.
I don't think you're gonna have any problems with that, mate. You know what I mean? So that's basically how it works. Let's just see what we're up to with this agent.
Currently, oh, so it's added the sources, which is useful. Did it publish it? Did you publish to Google Docs? That's weird.
Why is it not published to Google Docs? We'll come on to that in a second. Why would it not use a workflow? So just be aware of that.
Like it doesn't seem to publish to Google Docs, even though we added that inside the workflow. Building your own agent. Okay, yeah, so start simple language. Describe the job that needs to be done.
Choose tools and connectors. So select the approved apps the agent can use. Choose a trigger. So decide when the agent should work, run.
So for example, this could be human triggered or schedule triggered, right? So schedule triggered would kind of be like OpenClaw, where it runs in the cloud 24 seven, you know, maybe every Monday morning, it's researching all the latest AI news and then creating blog posts about it. Human triggered would be like, okay, do this now. I need this done right now.
You know what I mean? And then you can add guardrails here. So if we scroll down, you can see the guardrails that we've set up on this side. So, you know, I would be careful with that, especially if you've connected to other stuff and you wanna set like clear boundaries and guidelines for your agent.
Okay, here's what's acceptable. Here's what's not acceptable. And then just test it out in the preview, as you can see right here. So if we go back to this, did it create the Google Drive?
No. Oh, heavens to Betsy. Yeah, it didn't create it. Oh, I am.
So I wanna say, it keeps, do you know what as well? This is super annoying. It keeps coming up with this pop-up. It says continue.
And then when I click on continue, nothing happens, which is not that useful. Let's see what questions we got here. What are the top three underrated AI tools that very few people know, but can be so impactful? I think like everyone's looking for, you know, the magic stuff.
Honestly, what I do inside the AI Profit Boardroom each week is I will create a weekly update that's just like, here's the top three, right? Here's my top three this week. And I do that every week because it changes week to week. And also like, you know, everything is different, right?
But also one thing that's important to know is like what to ignore. So I create like a what to ignore list as well. And I think that's more important than trying to figure out which tools to use. It's like figuring out, okay, what do we need to not worry about?
What do we need to ignore, you know? An agent that works towards your goals. Amazing. Yeah, I would agree.
It's pretty cool. Connected to Wix and Google Drive, et cetera. Absolutely. Can you do this?
There's no free version of ChatGPT agents, sadly. So it's only available on the business plan. Can I create an agent with the free version of Claude? If you wanna know how to create free agents, check out my training inside the AI Profit Boardroom on how to use Hermes with Kimmy, right?
Or Hermes with Olama. Cause you can basically run free AI agents with Hermes. And that's like a much smarter way to do that sort of stuff. I'm not a fan of ChatGPT.
I would agree. I'm not a big fan of them either, honestly. My favorite is Claude. I like Hermes.
I like OpenClaw. But yeah, basically I would check out the training inside the new advanced AI tutorial section. And we show you how to set this sort of stuff up and how to use like Hermes and Kimmy and all that sort of cool stuff. So yeah, just bear in mind, I don't know if this is happening to everyone, but it's definitely happening to me today.
So you can see here, it's like your business workspace. If you want to transfer chat history, we click on continue, nothing happens, right? And this happens in multiple different things. If we click on start an empty workspace, okay, it's finally fixed.
All right, nice, nice, nice. So let's have a look down the chat here. It's like, okay, no, I didn't. I wrote it inside the chat here, but that doesn't make sense because if we go to the AI agent, let's have a look, click on this.
There's a lot of pop-ups coming up here as well. So that's interesting. No memory, apps. I'm going to go inside the chat and ask it, mate.
Like, what's going on here? Why didn't you use Google Drive, mate? It's in the workflow. And we'll see why it refused to do that.
We might be having serious words with this AI agent in a minute, but it's done everything else all right. Let's see and look at the actual quality of the outputs and what I would actually change here. Yeah, so it has come up with like recent information, which is pretty useful, you know? So that's pretty good.
Yeah, I do think it's useful as a example, but I think you need to improve the agent. But again, like, you know, that's an easy fix. Basically what you would do is go back inside the agent setup over here and say, improve this by doing this, right? Improve this by setting up that, blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, you're right, I should have done that, but I missed the delivery. It's a limit. That was his miss, not a limitation. Now, so let's just check.
We are using chat GPT instant for that too. So you might want to use the thinking model for that. Just something to note here, but everything else is pretty good. Everything else is pretty good.
Let's have a look at the school growth operator, right? So if we go back to that one, this is like the one that's going to work on our daily goals. And let's see what we got here. So we can say like plan today's growth, generate growth ideas.
So let's click on generate growth ideas. And we've said, suggest five practical growth experiments for AI profitable in my school, rank them by likely impact and speed to test and explain what success looks like. Also make sure that for anything you're going to do, you give us suggestions on what apps to connect to the agent so that you become more autonomous and you can do this stuff for me. And let's see what we get back here.
Now I also wonder if you can, yeah, this is cool as well, right? So what you can actually do here is if you click the at sign in the chat, and then you select, for example, the other AI agent that was set up, we can switch between them. So we can reference a different AI agent. So you can actually add and reference multiple different AI agents in the workflow, right?
See, once, for example, you've got this set up, you can say, okay, now Wix content creator, you go off and do that, right? And you just tag it with the at sign here. So you can create like multiple different agents working together, right? And communicating with each other, which is pretty cool.
Have you heard of Quenpor? Yeah, I've tested out, it used to be called Copor, right? And if you go on, if you search for my videos, and then you check out Copor, you'll see the example here. It's built by the Alibaba Quen team.
And just in general, like the Quen Alibaba team, they seem really good. Like a lot of the stuff that I've tested with them seems really cool. Basically, with that tool, you can kind of use OpenClaw, your AI agents as an app on Mac, and it works pretty smoothly. It was pretty cool when I tested out, I remember that.
All right, so that is basically how to use AI agents to build and automate anything. To get these agents set up, I've set up two different agents. Both of them were super easy. Both of them were pretty chilled to set up, all right?
Like, it's not hard. You just go inside the chat and tell it what you need, right? And then it will plan it all out for you. So you can see this one is working perfectly right now.
So let's talk about this, all right? So what happened here? Well, OpenAI released Workspace Agents on ChatGPT. These are AI Workplaces.
because they can do real tasks for your whole team 24-7, right? They work 24-7. It just went live. And you might be wondering, OK, what are workspace agents?
Well, you want to think of them like a virtual employee, right? You tell it what job to do. It goes off and does that job across multiple tools without you holding its hand. So it can read your emails.
It can check your CRM. It can pull data, reports, and even send messages all on its own. And the useful thing is, once you build it, you and your whole team can use it forever, right? That's the whole thing.
So what used to take, like, reps, for example, five to six hours a week can now run automatically in the background. That's what we're talking about here. Now, you might be saying, OK, but how is this different from regular chat cheapity? Well, regular chat cheapity, it just answers your questions one at a time.
It's not agentic at all, right? You just type something, and you reply, right? And it's just a basic chatbot. It's super simple.
You're not going to achieve that much with it compared to Workspace Agents. So Workspace Agents are different because they run entire workflows from start to finish. They can work across tools like Slack, Gmail, Google Drive, Salesforce, Notion, and more. They can keep working even whilst you close your laptop.
They can run on a schedule, for example, like every Saturday. And your whole team can share the agent and use them together, which is really cool as well. Like, the idea that you can share agents, you know, how difficult is it to share an open call, pretty difficult. It's not that easy for 99% of people.
But sharing a chat cheapity agent, super chill. Not a big deal, right? No big deal. You've already got access inside the community, inside the login once you go in.
So that's basically how it works. Now, if you're wondering, OK, how does this get set up step by step, well, I've shown you today how it works. But basically, you would go to the Agents tab in the chat cheapity sidebar. Make sure you're on the business plan.
You describe the job you want done. Chat cheapity helps you build the agent step by step. You connect the tools it needs. So for example, apps like Gmail or Slack, et cetera.
You set permissions on what the agent is allowed to do. Share it with his team. And then the agent runs the work automatically. That's it.
No coding needed or anything like that. So I've got a bunch of examples here of AI agents you could build, but we've already talked about that. And I've shown you some examples, right? Now, you do need to be careful here.
So you know, what about control? Well, this is where it gets serious in a good way. So admins control everything. They decide who can build agents.
They decide who could use agents. And they decide which tools each agent can access. So you can set approval gates, meaning the agent has to ask a human before doing stuff. And there are four audit logs, so you can see exactly what every agent did.
So that's pretty useful. So you can see what agents did. You can control who has access. You can control who shares.
And you have these approval gates. And also, you can set up human-in-the-loop setup. So it's pretty cool for stuff like that. Now, apparently, this is free for now until May the 6th.
So if you're already on the business plan, this is included in the plans, right? So it comes with the plan. And you might be saying, OK, what's coming next? So OpenAI said they're adding new triggers so that agents can start work automatically based on events, better dashboards to track performance and improve your agents, more tool integrations so agents can do even more across your apps, and Codex app support.
I think this is going to be awesome. This one right here, imagine building apps with these agents inside. That's going to be good. I mean, Codex app is already decent.
I wouldn't say it's as good as Cloud Desktop. But if you can add Codex support, well, now we're talking, my friends. Now we're talking. Now, you can see here it's come up with different ideas on what we can do.
And then it said, OK, here are the apps to connect and how to build it. I actually don't think that it understands which apps it can connect to. But again, some of these you could do. So email, pretty simple with Gmail.
Calendar, Zoom, no problem. CRM, no problem, mate. Google Sheets, no problem. Stuff like social media, I don't think you can connect directly to the agents from the list I checked a second ago.
So just bear in mind there. But once you've done that, you can turn it into an agent that's just running 24-7 on the schedule using the apps that it's recommended. So it's come up with some good ideas. It's run the workflow.
It can run every day. It's pretty simple to set up. It's just like, you've got to be careful with that bit. So that's basically it.
Now, actually, just to recap, OpenAI launched Workspace Agents in ChatGPT just today. These are shared AI agents who run entire workflows. They work across tools. They run in the cloud, even when you're offline.
You build them by describing the job in plain English. There's no coding. Admins have full control over permissions, tools, and approval gates. There are audit logs, which is pretty useful.
It's available on Business, Enterprise, Edu, and Teacher plans. It's free until May the 6th. And then there's five ready-made templates that exist on there, too. So that's basically what it can do, how it works, et cetera.
If you want to get a full guide to this, what I'm going to do is put that inside the AI Profit Boardroom, inside the New and Advanced Tutorial section. Link in the comments description, or go to the AIProfitBoardroom.com. And we're going to add a new section here, my friends, as you can see. And you can get access to all of my latest training.
Now, if you like AI agents, we've got tons of training on OpenClaw. We've got tons of training on Hermes. We've got a two-hour course on Hermes, a full six-hour course on OpenClaw. We add new updates all the time.
So for example, yesterday, we had a video tutorial on Space Agent, Hermes, KimiK 2.6 AI agents. If you like AI agents, we've got tons of training inside here on how to use it. And this is a community focused on helping you save time, grow, and get more customers with AI automation. Now, inside the community, you can ask questions.
There's always people online 24-7, so you can get help and support whenever you need it. I do my weekly updates. I just dropped a new one yesterday. And we have a daily accountability group in there as well, so you can stay laser focused and achieve your goals.
Inside the calendar, you can jump on weekly coaching calls, share your screen, ask questions about your setup, get help and support in real time if you need it. And then also inside the map, you can meet people in your local area who are using AI agents like ChatGPT, like Cloud Managed Agents, like OpenClaw, like Hermes. You can connect with me personally and direct message me whenever you need help. And yeah, it gives you everything you need to win with AI automation.
You see loads of my best trainings here. And the main thing is every time there's something useful that comes out, I create a video tutorial, a step-by-step guide, and a road map on exactly how to use it, as you can see right here.
