Hi Reader,

Every technical founder on the face of the planet knows about ChatGPT.

They've tried it. They probably even use it daily.

But when I ask "What have you automated with it?" The answer is usually: "Uh... some drafts?"

Here's the pattern I see after training 2M+ people:

The gap isn't knowledge. It's knowing which tasks are worth automating, and how to build something reliable without becoming a prompt engineer.

That's why I built Automating Your Work with Custom GPTs (No Code Required); A brand new 48-minute course that launches today on LinkedIn Learning.

What You'll Build

You'll walk through three real automation examples:

• A GPT that converts messy notes into formatted documents (no VA required)
• A GPT that turns PDFs into searchable, on-call knowledge bases
• A GPT that preps you for meetings using calendar & project management data

Each one uses the same repeatable framework I deploy when building 5-figure marketing systems:

1. Scope the task (input → output → format rules)
2. Configure behavior with the 5-part instruction system
3. Test boundaries (what should it refuse to do?)
4. Refine based on real use

No Zapier subscription. No developers. Just ChatGPT Plus and a systematic approach.

Why You’d Need This

If you're spending 5+ hours/week on repetitive knowledge work, like formatting documents, answering the same questions, prepping for recurring meetings, you're spending time a Custom GPT could handle in 30 seconds.

This course gives you the framework to identify those tasks and automate them yourself.

Course Details

• Platform: LinkedIn Learning (live today)
• Length: ~30 minutes (broken into practical modules)
• Prerequisites: ChatGPT Plus account, zero coding experience needed
• What you get: Repeatable framework + 3 working GPT examples + my 5-part instruction template

After publishing almost two dozen LinkedIn Learning courses and 11 books on AI and data science, this is the one I kept getting asked to build.

If you've been waiting for a no-BS guide to Custom GPTs. A course that actually shows you what to automate and how to make it reliable, this is it.

See you on the inside,

P.S. Already have a task in mind you want to automate? Hit reply and tell me. I might feature it in a future example.
