Guides OpenAI published apr 27, 2026
Learn how to set up a useful AI teammate in ChatGPT’s Workspace Agents tool. You will produce one daily agent that owns a recurring morning workflow, such as reviewing a Notion database of published guides and generating new guide ideas, instead of relying on a prompt you have to remember to run yourself.
You will build a daily agent that owns one recurring workflow and runs it for you each morning. In the demo, the agent reviewed a Notion database of published guides, looked for useful patterns, and generated three new guide ideas every day.
If you do not have ChatGPT Business yet, you can still use the same prompt and workflow design in another agent tool. The bigger lesson is how to define ownership and recurring tasks clearly.
Go to chatgpt.com/agents. From there, click Create agent.
If you are on the wrong plan, ChatGPT will prompt you to sign up for a Business plan first. Once you are in, you will land on the new-agent screen with a single input box that asks what the agent should do.
Before you write anything, pick the system or process this agent should manage.
Create an agent that manages [lead pipeline, Google Docs folder, Notion database, etc.]. It should do 3 main tasks that can run autonomously on schedules to save me time.In our test, we used an AI workflow researcher that owned a Notion database and looked for patterns in our published guides.
If you have a direct link to the database or tool you want it to manage, include that in the first setup message too. That gives the agent a cleaner starting point.
Pro tip: Point this at something annoying and sticky to maintain. A Notion database, Google Sheet, lead pipeline, task tracker, or reporting system is a much better fit than a vague brainstorming workflow.
After the first prompt, ChatGPT will walk you through the setup and ask for the tools it needs.
ChatGPT will fill in the rest of the details: role, workflow, apps, memory, and how the agent should behave on each run.
Pro tip: Keep approval on for anything sensitive. OpenAI says workspace agents can ask for permission before steps like editing a sheet, sending an email, or creating a calendar event. That is the right default.
Once the agent is shaped correctly, use the Schedule control in the upper right.
From there, add a recurring run. In our test, we set it to run every day at 9AM.
Pro tip: When you click on any of your agents, you should see three pre-made task types for the agent to do in one click.
