How to improve productivity through ChatGPT automation

AI is largely about automation. This week, I tackle some simple automation to give you hours or more productive time.

To frame that, I wanted to share the Microsoft and LinkedIn?2024 Work Trend Index Annual Report .?It shows the top jobs that can benefit from?AI. Keep reading for my top tips for improving your productivity as an executive, individual contributor, and virtually any desktop productivity worker.

I've tried to replicate the feature article and most of the content from my email newsletter in the LinkedIn Newsletter, but if you want the additional bonus content, including the Prompt of the Week, then I suggest you subscribe via email to The Artificially Intelligent Enterprise and get this newsletter in your inbox every Friday.

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)

The rise of artificial intelligence has sparked fears of widespread job displacement. However, as the AI landscape evolves, a different reality is emerging—I have observed more cases where humans and machines work together, each amplifying the other's strengths. This symbiosis,?Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)?AI, allows AI to be a force multiplier, not a replacement for human judgment.

Today, AI is about replacing tasks, not humans.

AI tools like ChatGPT, GPTs, and specialized AI agents are revolutionizing industry workflows. By handling routine tasks and providing data-driven insights, AI frees human professionals to focus on high-level strategy, innovation, creativity, and interpersonal aspects of their work. This collaboration allows for unprecedented levels of productivity and accuracy.

For example, I used Claude to create a draft of this newsletter, but I edited it mercilessly. The human element in HITL AI ensures accountability, context awareness, and adaptability in complex scenarios. As AI systems continue to evolve, the need for human oversight becomes even more critical to navigate ethical considerations and unforeseen challenges.

Here are three concise examples of how Human-in-the-Loop AI is being effectively implemented in business:

1. Customer Service: AI chatbots handle initial customer inquiries, resolve simple issues, and collect relevant information. Human agents step in for complex problems, using the AI-gathered context to provide more efficient, personalized solutions.
2. Supply Chain Optimization: AI algorithms predict demand and suggest inventory adjustments. Human managers review these recommendations, factoring in qualitative market insights and strategic goals, before making final decisions.
3. Marketing Campaign Analysis: AI tools analyze campaign performance data and propose optimizations. Marketing professionals then interpret these insights, applying brand knowledge and creative expertise to refine messaging and targeting strategies.

For the foreseeable future, the most effective approach will harness the strengths of both human intelligence and AI.

Automating ChatGPT with OpenAI GPTs

Whether you are an executive, a task worker, a developer, or a type of desktop productivity worker. Using ChatGPT’s GPTs can save you an immense amount of time if you apply them to your workflow.

ChatGPT GPTs are customized versions of ChatGPT designed for specific purposes. These tailored AI assistants can help with various tasks, from creative writing to coding assistance.

What Are ChatGPT GPTs?

GPTs are custom versions of ChatGPT created by OpenAI or third-party developers. They combine instructions, extra knowledge, and specific skills to provide specialized assistance in various domains. GPTs can be accessed through the ChatGPT interface and are designed to be more helpful for specific tasks compared to the general-purpose ChatGPT.

How to Access and Use GPTs

1. Visit chat.openai.com and log in to your ChatGPT account.
2. Click on the "Explore" tab to browse available GPTs.
3. Select a GPT that suits your needs.
4. Start a conversation with the GPT by typing your query or request.

Tips for Effective GPT Usage

1. Be specific: Clearly state your goal or question for the most relevant response.
2. Provide context: Give background information to help the GPT understand your situation better. This can be added to the Instructions or uploaded to the GPT Knowledge under the configurations.
3. Iterate: If the initial response isn't satisfactory, rephrase your query or ask follow-up questions.
4. Verify information: Always double-check important facts or data provided by GPTs.
5. Explore different GPTs: Try various specialized GPTs to find the ones that best suit your needs.

Creating Your Personalized GPT

OpenAI allows users to create custom GPTs without coding skills. To create your own GPT:

1. Go to chat.openai.com/create
2. Provide instructions and extra knowledge for your GPT.
3. Choose your GPT's capabilities (e.g., web browsing and image generation).
4. Test and refine your GPT before publishing.

Privacy and Safety Considerations

When using GPTs, keep in mind:

• Your chats with GPTs are not shared with the GPT creators.
• You can opt out of allowing your chats for model training.
• OpenAI has implemented safety measures to prevent harmful or inappropriate GPTs.
• Using ChatGPT Team or Enterprise, you can share your GPTs privately with your company.

Up Your AI Game with Automation

ChatGPT GPTs offer a powerful way to leverage AI for specific tasks and domains. Understanding how to use them effectively and exploring various options can enhance your productivity and problem-solving capabilities. As the GPT ecosystem grows, we can expect even more innovative and specialized AI assistants to emerge, further transforming how we interact with artificial intelligence.
