Research budget laptops and make a comparison deck
Have an agent compare budget laptops, then package the findings into a table, a slide deck, and a multi-tab spreadsheet.
- What they did
- A reviewer asked ChatGPT Agent to look into budget laptops, line up the specs, and return the results in both a table and a presentation. In agent mode, it used its own virtual desktop, browsed review articles, and kept working in the background for about half an hour. A separate spreadsheet test also produced an Excel file with multiple tabs.
- How it went
- The research itself was decent and the summary held up well, but the deck looked cheap and unpolished. The reviewer said a much more specific brief would be needed to get the presentation right on the first try.
- Tips
- This works best when you spell out the exact structure you want for the table and slides. If you need a polished deck, expect to review and revise the design.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Research the best [type of laptop] under $[budget] for [main use]. Compare the top options in a table with price, key specs, main strengths, main weaknesses, and links to the sources you used. Also create a short slide deck that summarizes your top three picks. If anything is unclear or could not be checked, stop and ask me before you send, submit, or finalize anything.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
