Hey AI Breakers 👋
The new ChatGPT Work mode turns ChatGPT into an agent on your desktop: it sees your files, drives its own browser, and does the task instead of just answering.
Here are 5 prompts you can run today:
✅ A live, shareable dashboard built from a screenshot of one you like
✅ A browser agent that collects files from any website for you
✅ A full Excel model built from messy exports, with real formulas you can audit
✅ A receipts folder that processes and logs expenses on its own
✅ A bulk editor that safely updates dozens of items across a tool in one run
Let’s run them 👇
⚙️ The 60-Second Setup
ChatGPT Work lives in the ChatGPT desktop app, not the web version. Several of these use cases only work on desktop, because that’s where it gets file access and its own browser. So:
-
💻 Download and open the ChatGPT desktop app
-
🔀 Make sure ChatGPT is selected in the top left (not Codex)
-
⚡ Flip the toggle at the top from Chat to Work
That’s it. You’re now driving an agent instead of chatting with a bot.
Two concepts you’ll see in every prompt below:
-
🔌 Plugins are built-in abilities you attach to a task. We’ll use three: sites (builds live web pages), data analytics (connects to data sources and writes queries), and spreadsheets (builds real Excel files, with templates).
-
🧩 Skills are abilities you teach it yourself: a saved set of instructions for connecting to a tool that has no official plugin. You won’t need any custom skills for this tutorial, but know they exist.
Each use case below is one loaded prompt. You fire it, ChatGPT Work goes off (sometimes for 4 minutes, sometimes for an hour), and you come back to a finished deliverable. Iteration is just telling it what to change.
📊 Prompt #1 → The Dashboard Builder (From Screenshot to Live Dashboard)
Here’s the trick that makes this one work: don’t describe the dashboard you want. Show it.
Google “[your metric] dashboard”, grab a screenshot of one that looks right, and let ChatGPT Work clone the layout with YOUR data.
✅ Use this to replace any recurring report you currently rebuild by hand.
Prompt:
You are my reporting analyst. Recreate the dashboard from the screenshot attached as a live site I can share with my team. Data source: pull the numbers from [YOUR DATA SOURCE, e.g. THIS EXPORT FILE / OUR CONNECTED ANALYTICS / THE SPREADSHEET IN MY WORKING FOLDER]. Requirements: 1. Match the layout of the screenshot: key metrics as cards at the top, individual charts below, and a detail table at the bottom. 2. Cover the last 30 days, plus a per-day breakdown so I can see which days perform best. 3. Every chart must be interactive: when I hover over a chart, show the exact numbers for that day or segment. 4. Label every metric clearly enough that a teammate who has never seen this data understands it in 10 seconds. 5. When you're done, give me the shareable link.
💡 Tip: Attach the sites plugin (and the data analytics plugin if your numbers live in a data warehouse) before sending. And don’t expect perfection on pass one: the magic is that “make the charts show numbers on hover” is a 4-minute fix, not a new ticket in someone’s backlog.
🌐 Prompt #2 → The Browser Agent (It Clicks So You Don’t Have To)
ChatGPT Work on desktop comes with its own browser (toggle the side panel at the top right to watch it work). That means it can visit pages, click around, and collect things for you: images, files, invoices, data. You can literally watch its cursor move.
✅ Use this to bulk-collect anything from a website you’d otherwise right-click-save 20 times.
