Use ChatGPT Agent for repetitive site work
They let ChatGPT Agent handle website chores in one long session, but the browser-style control vanished before the job was finished.
- What they did
- They got temporary access to ChatGPT Agent and put it to work in a single conversation on a website. The agent carried out the routine steps through the computer-style tool, and the user kept it going until the feature disappeared. New Agent chats still opened, but they no longer had access to the website-control function, so the task could not be completed.
- How it went
- The session ran for roughly two hours and nearly reached the finish line before the tool was withdrawn. Other users reported the same problem too, with Agent or Operator dropping out after 30 minutes or later that day.
- Tips
- If you rely on this kind of workflow, expect the automation access to be unstable and plan for interruption. Keep a record of progress and have the agent stop for approval before anything that changes data permanently.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Act as my website assistant for [website URL]. I have [number] items to handle from [spreadsheet/source], and I want you to work through them one by one. After you finish the first item, pause and show me the result so I can confirm the approach. Keep a progress list as you go, and ask me before any submit, delete, pay, or other irreversible action.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
