The short version
A photography and video business owner uses a ChatGPT agent tied to Notion and Google Drive to plan the day, fill open calendar time with business tasks, and draft monthly social posts from past client work.
What they did
The owner connected a ChatGPT agent to a Notion database of quarterly goals, to-do lists, job notes, coach tasks, a social calendar, and a prospect list, plus a Google Drive of client photos and videos. After the day's booking cutoff, the agent suggests filling empty calendar slots with overdue or high-priority tasks from Notion. Around the middle of each month it pulls similar past client photos and videos, writes captions, and builds a draft social calendar for approval. It also drafts occasional comments on prospect social posts and periodically summarizes what competitors have been posting.
Agent/tool used: ChatGPT agent (dot) + Notion
How it went
Per the post, the setup has been extremely helpful for someone who struggles with executive function, even when the agent hits bugs or gets overwhelmed. The owner reviews drafts before publishing and uses a nightly check-in so the agent can compare planned calendar work to what actually got done.
Worth knowing
This needs a well-organized Notion workspace and clear rules, or the agent can get confused. Keep a human approving social captions and prospect comments. The owner notes the agent can only handle a few things at once and sometimes runs into blockers from conflicting rules.
Copy-paste prompt
You are my business operations assistant for [Business Name], a [photography/videography] studio. You have access to my Notion: [quarterly goals], [short-term to-dos], [long-term to-dos], [business coach tasks], [job list], and [prospect list]. My booking calendar stops taking next-day appointments after [cutoff time]. When I ask, (1) list blank slots on [date] and propose tasks from Notion that are closest to deadline, (2) draft [N] social posts from these client photo/video notes: [paste Drive file names or descriptions], mix informational and light humor, each under [word limit], and (3) draft a short friendly comment on this prospect post: [paste]. Never post or comment without my approval.
Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.
Step-by-step setup
- 1Build a Notion database with quarterly goals, short and long to-dos, job notes, coach tasks, a social calendar, and a prospect list.
- 2Connect a ChatGPT agent (or similar) to that Notion workspace and to your Google Drive of client photos and videos.
- 3Set a daily rule: after your booking cutoff, have the agent propose filling empty next-day calendar slots with tasks that are closest to deadline.
- 4Once a month, ask it to pick similar past client photos or videos, write captions, and assemble a draft social calendar for you to refine or approve.
- 5Optionally feed it prospect social pages and competitor pages so it can draft comments and a short competitive roundup for your review.
- 6Add a brief end-of-day check-in so it can log what you finished versus what was on the calendar.
- 7Approve every social post and prospect comment yourself before anything goes live.
