Use AI to build slides and data tables from research
ChatGPT Agent helped one user make a deck, draft an eBook, and collect web research into a spreadsheet.
- What they did
- Daria Cupareanu tried ChatGPT Agent on three tasks. She started with a minimal prompt for an AI-in-education presentation, and the agent made the deck before adding her logo and color scheme. She also uploaded Substack posts from Google Drive and asked for an eBook built with those plus web sources she had cleared. In a separate run, the agent went through the Y Combinator directory, put the findings in a Google Sheet, and searched for each company’s contact details.
- How it went
- The presentation was serviceable, but the visuals were plain. The eBook landed at 11 pages rather than the 20 requested and still needed editing before publication. The sheet was rough around the edges, and the agent only completed the first page of the 20 entries it started with.
- Tips
- State the final count, file type, and section layout before the agent begins. Each task took about 10–30 minutes and counted toward the 40 monthly agent messages included in her Plus plan.
