ChatGPT Plugins Finally Work!
180 segments
Chat GBT just looked at my schedule, my
calendar, found the best opening, and
added a 30-minut break so I can relax
and recharge. All right, now we're
talking. I can go out there. No,
seriously though, I didn't even open
Google calendar in this entire
transaction. And these things were quite
hard to achieve just a few weeks ago.
You needed custom setups and duh. Now,
chat GBD is all you need or claude that
is. Okay, so this is what plugins can
essentially do inside of the new chatbt
work also include connectors, but today
we're looking at chatbt work as most
people are using chatbt and I want to
open your bird eye to what's possible
with these AI tools because it's
unbelievable. So here's the deal. At its
core, a plug-in can teach chatbt a
specialized workflow and connect it to
an outside service. So you can basically
be like, "Hey, you can see my Google
calendar now, just like my assistant or
my phone or my own eyes when I open it."
And you need to be inside of chat GBT
work to do this. Okay. So once you have
that plug-in set up, you can well
schedule it can help me make changes. It
can hop between other applications. You
just need to be inside of Chachd Work
for this. And I know many of you will
notice already, but these capabilities,
they've been getting better. And I
wasn't a big fan of plugins and now I
kind of am. You tab over to chatgbt
work. Then you go to plugins down here.
You say connect plugins. You can see
already Google calendar here because I
selected it. But if you go to connect
plugins, if it's not up here, you should
be able to find it. You worst case, you
go to browse all plugins. And then in
here, well, very worst case, I have to
search for it. So, you know, calendar.
There you go. Google calendar. Click
that. Click the free dots. Okay. Mine is
already installed, but you know what?
For you, just cuz I love you so much, I
will deinstall this. Now, I will install
again. And you should see something
similar to this. Continue to Google
calendar. I select account with my main
calendar. And then the beautiful thing
is these permissions are only to access
the calendar. It's not going to be
looking at everything across Gmail, etc.
That's a different plugin. But if you
want to see it, you could click here and
see what services you're giving to it.
These are the six. All right, I'm good
with that. I'm going to click continue.
And there it is. Now we're connected. I
could try it in chat. And the way you do
that, well now it's already preset, but
the way you would get to this from a
naked chat is you need to use the add
button. This is a bit different from
Claude. So just say add calendar. There
it is. This is how you would access it.
Okay. And hey, if you're wondering what
else you could do with chat to your
work, well, I put together a PDF with
the top 10 prompts that you could try
today within there. And you can have it
completely for free right now. First
link in the video description. All
right, back to the video. So now I could
ask, what does my schedule look like?
And for anybody who's been watching the
channel for a while, you'll know I've
been an avid hater of these connectors,
these plugins, because they just weren't
reliable. You ask this type of question
and it was like, well, you actually
don't have anything going on today.
>> Or well, there's two events today where
in reality there's free and getting two
out of three things is not good enough.
They were not reliable. Okay, now
several things changed. The models
changed. They reworked normal chat into
chat work that thinks a bit more, is a
bit more thoughtful. The MCP standards
underneath also changed. Although I'm
not even sure if this one is updated to
the no one. The point is there has been
several improvements over time where
chat GPT with uh Google calendar login a
year ago was bad, trash, unusable. I
told you this straight up. I didn't used
to recommend it. Now just gets it. It
knows exactly where everything is. It
can call multiple things. It used to be
in a way that you could call one thing
and get that reliably, but if you wanted
multiple messy.
Now you could do something like using
voice input. Okay, every time I'm in
meetings for more than two hours, put in
a 30 minute recharge block. Now you'll
notice that today's day has passed. But
this is smart. This is chatb work and it
thinks through the problem through a
wider lens than you might have
specified. That's how it is. It kind of
plans for the problem and looks to
resolve the entire category of work, not
just this one instance. That's the
product. Okay. So, as you see, it first
didn't just look at my day that has
passed, but it set up a schedule task
where it's like, "Okay, I'll review your
Google calendar for the upcoming seven
days, and whenever there's more than two
consecutive busy meeting hours, I'll
schedule a 30-minut busy calendar event
titled recharge." Okay. And it set the
frequency to check every hour, which I
think is totally overkill, but you know,
good starting point. And then it just
prompted itself essentially and
continued and said, "Okay, recording
block mastery dly."
So now it didn't change anything because
I'm already beyond all of these
meetings. But it set up a schedule task
that should do this for my calendar. And
this is the power of plugins, but
together with scheduled tasks and work,
it's just unbelievable. Like you could
set up a few rules like this that just
run your calendar. And let me show you.
If I go here into scheduled, and then I
would take this post meeting recharge
one that just got created and I say run
now here under the free dots. There it
is. It's going to do that for the entire
week. And then I could change the
frequency, right? I could say, "Hey, I
want this to run once a week or once a
day maybe." There it is. Addit them. And
right there in my Thursday, we have the
recharge block. These plugins work so
well now that you should be thinking
about your life in a new way. Now,
together with this chatb product or
claude co-work or whatever you might be
using, you can set up a few rules like
this for reoccurring problems that just
solve this category or problem for $20 a
month. And considering the fact that
paid plans are roughly used by 1% of the
working population on planet Earth, it's
ridiculous to me that the edge you can
get in terms of productivity and ease by
eliminating all these annoying admin
tasks if you use this correctly. It's
just an amazing opportunity and I wanted
to show you in this video. Nice and
easy. And finally, I'll say if you have
a task yourself that you set up some
schedule task for a plug-in that you use
all the time, leave a comment below. I
really want to use which ones you use.
Let's learn from each other. Let's share
the love and share the knowledge. And
that's pretty much it. My name is Eigor
Pagani. I hope this was helpful to you
and I will see you very soon.

The video demonstrates how to use plugins within the 'Chat work' environment to automate personal productivity tasks, specifically focusing on connecting a Google Calendar to manage schedules. The speaker explains that while these tools were previously unreliable, they have significantly improved, allowing for sophisticated automation like setting recurring 'recharge' blocks in a calendar. By setting up rules and scheduled tasks, users can offload administrative work and optimize their daily routines efficiently.
