This sounds like an absolute advantage for leaders.
Moving from "gather/process/analyze" to simply "prompt/review/apply" is a massive shift in how strategic work gets done. It moves you out of the weeds and back into leading.
Thanks, since they released agent I’ve struggled to find use cases for it outside of just using regular chat. Some great tips here, will definitely be trying the YouTube one as well as getting it to look through my Substack for trends.
Glad to hear that! Yeah deep research works for looking through material from the past 5-10 years and does amazing, but when it comes to finding the top info from the past week in Youtube or the latest competitor trends, Agent does amazing.
This is exactly how I use ChatGPT Agent too, not to do the thinking for me, but to remove the 80% of work that prevents me from thinking clearly in the first place.
It's like having a junior analyst who does all the grunt work for me. 🥰 Suddenly, I'm free to actually think about what it all means instead of just drowning in tabs.
Saving time on busy work frees up time to engage with your team and to spend heads-down time being strategic. Great tips here for Agent prompts and real time savers. Thank you, Joel!
Brilliant breakdown! The shift from gathering data to strategic prompting is exactly what leaders need. Your practical examples make Agent feel accessible, not overwhelming. Thanks for the roadmap!
This is really cool. For YouTube, I think I understand that probably browsing manually will uncover more videos. But for a website, I am trying to understand if the deep research agent they have would probably do a similar job to what you describe. Did you find some limitations when you try to use that?
Some websites like Levi jeans stop agents from accessing, that’s the main one. Deep research works for me when I don’t have set sources, but when I want to follow a certain number of channels in YouTube or Reddit, and want to control those sources, agent works best
This is great and timely because I'm trying to "leverage" (hate this word but it's morning and nothing else comes to mind) YT more. Looks like it'd be super worth it for my content strategy. So thank you!!! ❤️

100%! It’s the kind of advantage that was only available for those who could hire multiple assistants
Love your prompts...
I appreciate that, Yara!!
Great information but the "agent mode" is restricted in Iran because of the sanctions. I wish I could try your prompts and let you know the results.
Thanks for your help, Joel Jan.
I see! That stinks, but I don’t doubt there will be a solution soon

Love the ‘research collapse’ framework.

Thanks for writing such a valuable post.
Thanks, @Nitin! I imagined you were doing something similar!

Yes!!! It really is mind blowing how much time we can get back
Great insights and tips here 🙏
Thanks, Doland!

I have so many automated GPT agent prompts running weekly, haha, but for exactly that, gives me more time for the uniquely human pieces
Great read Joel! Thanks…but I’d like to say…
Leaders gain more clarity by letting AI do the work, not just advise on it.
That’s it!

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Yeah there’s definitely a restriction some websites place. Makes sense on controlling sources too!
Especially since most of ChatGPT deep research is Reddit haha

Hi Joel, just curious as i'm looking to learn, what 5 AI YouTube creators would you recommend?
Love how this reframes AI from a novelty into a genuine operating advantage.
