How to make money with ChatGPT's new agent

Happy Tuesday 👋 Today’s issue is all about how you can leverage AI to work smarter, not harder. From mastering AI agents to leveling up your company designs, these tips & tricks will help you stay ahead of the competition. Remember: AI won't replace human workers, but people that use it will replace people that don't.

TLDR: OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Agent—a new mode inside ChatGPT that controls a virtual computer and completes real-world tasks across multiple tools and apps. It’s not just browsing or summarizing anymore. Think: checking your calendar, booking restaurants, planning events, or building slides. It’s the clearest leap yet toward AI agents that do instead of just chat.

This is the first serious attempt to productize a multi-agent stack—calendar, browser, terminal, text input—into a usable UX. While still early (slow, some limitations), the trajectory is clear: generalist agents that can reason and act across your digital life. Expect massive productivity implications once latency drops and third-party integrations scale.

TL;DR: In this video, Chris shows how the new ChatGPT Agent can autonomously run core business tasks—lead gen, cold email, market research, even pitch decks, for just $20/month. It’s not just an assistant. It’s a multi-agent AI workforce replacing roles across sales, marketing, and ops. This tech is already outpacing entire teams.

This is the first glimpse of AI not as a tool, but as infrastructure. Each agent behaves like a focused employee—researcher, writer, strategist—executing faster and cheaper than humans ever could. The businesses that adapt now won’t just move faster, they’ll dominate.

TL;DR: Simon Harberg lays out a clear framework for bootstrapped SaaS success in the AI era: build, sell, and systematize, fast. He breaks down the six AI tools his lean team uses to replace entire departments, cut development time, and scale marketing with fewer people.

When combined, these six apps compress time, reduce burn, and let tiny teams compete like giants. The founders who master this AI stack won’t just survive—they’ll scale faster, with less.

TL;DR: Angus Chang built a dead-simple tool to convert bank statements from PDF to Excel and turned it into a $40K/month business. No team, no funding, no extensive marketing. Just a real pain point, fast MVP, user-driven iteration, and years of patient execution. His journey is a masterclass in pragmatic solopreneurship.

The best SaaS ideas don’t need to be sexy, just useful. Angus didn’t chase trends or funding. He solved one boring, real problem better than anyone else. His story shows what’s possible when you stay lean, ignore distractions, and let the product do the talking.

TL;DR: Venngage’s AI-powered poster generator makes it dead simple to create custom company culture and values posters—no design skills required. In a few clicks, you can generate professional layouts, auto-brand them, refine messaging, and share them across teams. It’s a no-code, no-designer solution for HR, marketing, and culture leads who want visuals that actually reflect their brand.

Venngage turns culture design into a scalable, repeatable workflow. Whether it’s for onboarding, internal comms, or office decor, the combo of AI speed + deep customization means even small teams can produce high-quality culture assets that look and feel intentional—not templated.
