Overview

The poster recorded themselves doing a task, had AI convert it to step-by-step instructions, and ChatGPT Agent executed it alone with the same output.

Workflow

Suggested implementation: Record a narrated Loom walkthrough of a recurring task, upload to YouTube, and use Gemini 2.5 Pro to generate step-by-step instructions. Paste these into ChatGPT Agent running in a virtual machine. The human must manually provide Salesforce credentials and handle multi-factor authentication when the agent pauses.

Reported result

The agent reportedly produced output identical to the manual process, serving as a time-saver for recurring reporting. However, the source is unavailable (HTTP 403), so specific timing metrics and failure rates are unknown. A measurable acceptance check is required: compare agent output against a manual baseline for accuracy and time saved.

Human role

The source evidence is unavailable for specific human roles beyond the initial recording and credential entry.

Limitations

Prerequisites include a stable narrated recording and manual handling of login/MFA due to temporary session constraints. Source reliability is low as the original Reddit post is inaccessible. Human approval is critical before the agent executes any write operations or sends data. Integration uncertainty exists regarding how the agent handles dynamic Salesforce UI changes.

Try it

Act as an automation engineer. I need to convert a recurring Salesforce reporting task into an agent-executable workflow. 1. Input: I will provide a link to a narrated Loom video of the manual process and the target Salesforce instance URL. 2. Step 1: Use Gemini 2.5 Pro to transcribe the video and generate precise, numbered step-by-step instructions for the agent. 3. Step 2: Configure ChatGPT Agent to execute these instructions in a virtual machine. 4. Step 3: Pause execution for me to manually enter Salesforce credentials and complete MFA. 5. Step 4: Resume execution and capture the final report output. 6. Verification: Compare the agent's output against a manually generated report for 100% data accuracy. 7. Safeguard: Do not publish or send the report without my explicit confirmation. If the video link is broken or credentials fail, stop and ask for clarification. Output the final report in PDF format to [replaceable_output_location].
