Use case overview

A lead-gen agency poster used ChatGPT agent mode for work they normally pay a VA to do, and asks how to set up agents for repeatable tasks.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The poster runs a lead-gen agency and said they tried ChatGPT agent mode after a YouTube video, then saw it handle some work they normally pay a VA to do. In the thread, they do not spell out the exact task flow; instead they ask how to make repeatable specialist setups, such as separate agents for ad copy, creative, competitor research, or a VA-style role, and whether that means agent mode, custom GPTs, or Claude projects.

  2. How it went

    The concrete outcome stated is only that ChatGPT agent mode handled some existing VA work well enough to push them toward using agents for more tasks. No metrics, costs, or specific results are given, and the thread is mainly a request for setup advice rather than a documented workflow.

  3. Worth knowing

    The source is thin: it does not name the delegated task, process, or results, so you would need the original poster’s follow-up details before copying this.

Example prompts

Try with ChatGPT Agent
Act as my virtual assistant for [a repeatable lead-gen task, e.g. finding contact details for [type of business] in [city]]. Work through [source sites or a list I'll paste], and put each result in a table with [columns, e.g. company, contact name, email, website]. Stop after [number] leads, and show me the table and any entries you were unsure about before you save or send anything.
