ChatGPT, GPTs, agents, workflows: what help do I actually need?

A plain-English guide to the names you have heard—and the everyday tasks they could help with.

Start with the task, not the tool

Write down one thing you wish someone could help with: replying to emails, preparing a report, sorting receipts, or answering repeated questions. Tell us what you do today and what gets in the way. We can help choose the approach.

ChatGPT help: getting a useful first draft

Give ChatGPT a clear task, relevant context, and an example of the result you want. We help you turn a vague request into reusable instructions and show you how to check the output. You stay responsible for deciding what to use.

Custom GPTs: a helper for a particular job

A custom GPT is a version of ChatGPT configured with instructions, reference information, and selected capabilities. Think of a helper for questions about your approved service guide. It runs inside ChatGPT, not as an embedded chatbot on your website. Creation and sharing depend on your account and workspace permissions, which we check before recommending it.

AI agents: help working through steps

An agent can use connected tools to work through a task. For example, it might check an inquiry, notice missing details, and prepare a follow-up draft. What it can do depends on the tools and permissions we agree on. Important actions can stop for your approval.

Workflows and automation: less copying and chasing

A workflow is simply a sequence of steps. Automation joins repeatable steps together, such as taking submitted details and preparing a record. It does not always need AI. AI can help when the input needs interpreting, such as a message or receipt.

You bring the problem. We help with the rest.

We check your tools, explain costs, agree on a small first setup, and show you how to use it. Your team keeps responsibility for decisions. You do not need to learn to code or know which kind of assistant to ask for.
