Use Agent mode to check events, shop, and mine transcripts

Bryan Collins used ChatGPT Agent to look up Irish triathlon races, buy creatine, and pull content ideas from his YouTube transcripts.

What they did
Bryan Collins spent a few hours in ChatGPT Agent mode, the Plus feature that controls a visual browser. He set it to find triathlon races in Ireland, locate creatine powder, and go through his YouTube transcripts for topic ideas. The agent put a budget creatine product into the cart, then paused and asked him to enter his card details himself.
How it went
He marked the race search as an F because it was sluggish and turned up only a handful of open races, so he did the rest himself. The creatine task received a B, while the YouTube ideas got a C+ because they were generic.
Tips
Plan for slow pages, CAPTCHA checks, dead links, and occasional wrong destinations. If the task involves payment or any account action, build in a handoff point so you can review it before anything is final.

Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent

I want help with three things. First, search for [type of event] in [country or region] during [date range], and make a table of the options that are still open for sign-up, including the date, place, distance, and cost. Second, find [product] from a trusted seller for under [budget] and put the best match in the cart. Third, review my [YouTube transcripts / channel notes / content history] and suggest several content ideas. Stop before any checkout, payment entry, submission, deletion, or sending step, and show me what you found so I can approve it.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
