NEW ChatGPT Update is WILD!
Eligible ChatGPT Pro users can text a Dot ongoing tasks and receive updates; use scheduled briefs to keep member follow-ups and content work on track.
- The texting feature is described as a US beta for ChatGPT Pro users; connect it by verifying your number in ChatGPT.
- Set a weekday brief to flag new community members who need a personal welcome, without letting the Dot message them.
- Use an afternoon content-pipeline update to identify work ready for review, blocked items, and tomorrow’s priority.
The two prompts and setup notes are useful, but the video provides no live walkthrough. · Best for: Business owners managing a community, member follow-ups, or content production.
The video describes a beta feature that lets ChatGPT Dots communicate through a user's regular phone messaging app. It gives two example workflows for community operations: a new-member brief and a content-pipeline update.
What Dots are and what texting adds0:53
- The video describes a Dot as an agent that can keep working on ongoing goals, rather than only answering one-off questions.
- The texting feature is presented as a way for a Dot to receive texts, photos, or voice notes and proactively send relevant updates.
- The feature is described as a beta rolling out to ChatGPT Pro users in the US.
Setup and privacy3:24
- Eligible users can enable texting in ChatGPT, verify their phone number, and save the contact provided.
- The video says the Dot can only text the user and does not gain access to their other text conversations.
- Texting uses a third-party provider called Link; the speaker advises against sending overly sensitive information.
Workflow 1: New-member follow-up4:58
- Ask the Dot to track new members, check each weekday for people without a welcome message, and text a brief with names, join dates, and available context.
- The prompt explicitly says not to send messages itself; the user makes the personal outreach.
Workflow 2: Content pipeline5:45
- Ask the Dot to track ideas, tutorials in progress, and coaching-call topics.
- Request an afternoon text stating what is ready for review, what is stuck, and the top content priority for tomorrow.
- Tell it to ask before changing publishing dates.
Wrap-up8:17
- The video closes by encouraging viewers to set up a Dot workflow.
- Although the speaker introduces three workflows, the transcript gives details for only two.
Step by step
- In ChatGPT, open your Dot and select the texting connection option if it is available to your account.
- Verify your phone number and save the contact the setup sends you.
- Text the Dot a recurring task and specify what it should report, how often to report, and any actions it must not take.
- For member follow-ups, request a weekday brief of people awaiting a welcome, while keeping the actual outreach manual.
- For content tracking, request an afternoon status update and require approval before publishing-date changes.
