In this previous post, I looked at tools which would help you Set Goals For Yourself As A Freelancer Using AI.
This post essentially showed you how you can harness the power of ChatGTP to interact with AI to develop goals and strategies and direction on how to achieve those goals.
For this post, I want to take this a step further and show you how to use AutoGPT to actually help you execute the goals and strategies that are defined for you.
This post goes into more detail about the differences between ChatGPT and AutoGPT, but a simplistic way of looking at this would be ChatGPT is trained to have conversations with you, answer questions, and provide information. AutoGPT is trained to do a specific task.
The following tool does just that, allow me to introduce you to:
Godmode AI
Godmode AI, according to it’s own website, is “a web platform to access the automation powers of autoGPT and babyAGI. AI agents are still in their infancy, but they are quickly growing in capabilities, and we hope that Godmode will enable more people to tap into autonomous AI agents even in this early stage.”
In addition to AutoGPT it uses BabyAGI which is “an AI-powered task management system that uses OpenAI and Pinecone APIs to create, prioritize, and execute tasks.”
And that pretty much sums it up – tell it what you want to do, and it will figure out and go through the steps required to complete your task.
When you head over to the site, you are greeted with a fairly straightforward prompt:
For my first task, I decided to see if it could help me with one of the first steps to becoming a freelancer, as described in this article “How To Tell Your Boss You’re Resigning”, so my required action was set as follows:
Write me a resignation letter to my boss at Organic Digital
As a benchmark, this is what I get if I ask ChatGPT to do this:
[Your Name]
[Your Address]
[City, ZIP Code]
[Email Address]
[Phone Number]
[Date]
[Your Boss’s Name]
Organic Digital
[Company Address]
[City, ZIP Code]
Dear [Your Boss’s Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. It is with mixed feelings that I submit my resignation from my position at Organic Digital, effective [last working day, e.g., October 30, 2023].
I have immensely enjoyed my time here, and it has been an honor to be a part of such a dynamic and innovative team. The opportunities, challenges, and professional growth I’ve encountered at Organic Digital have been invaluable to my career. However, after careful consideration and due to [personal reasons/a new opportunity/etc.], I believe it is in my best interest to pursue a different path at this stage of my life and career.
I am deeply committed to ensuring a smooth transition, which includes assisting in finding a replacement or training a team member to take over my responsibilities. I will make every effort to finalize all pending tasks and provide comprehensive documentation to ensure continuity after my departure.
Please know that this decision wasn’t easy and took a lot of contemplation. Organic Digital’s values, mission, and the incredible people I’ve worked with will always hold a special place in my heart. I am immensely grateful for the trust, guidance, and opportunities you and the company have provided me during my tenure.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you personally for your leadership and mentorship. I’ve learned a lot under your guidance, and I hope our paths cross again in the future.
Wishing Organic Digital continued success in all its endeavors. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance during this transition period or afterward.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
It’s not bad, I’d give it 7/10, it’s a bit generic, so let’s see what Godmode AI can do.
Once you enter your goal, it will break this down into tasks as follows:
You can add/amend these if you wish, and then launch the tool to go about it’s work.
It’s the interesting to watch the thoughts and reasonings of the AI as it goes through each task towards completion, finding and compiling information and data along the way.
e.g.
google how to format a resignation letter then store the information for reference later
it then set about finding the contact information of the boss at Organic Digital, I didn’t like it’s first approach and could see it wouldn’t find what it was looking for, so give it a nudge in the like direction. And like all good Artificial Intelligence it took the hint, and found what it was looking for.
I love how it subjectively reviewed the content on the site to figure out who would be in charge, admittedly, there’s only one person at the company (it’s me) but the reasoning was pretty solid:
Having acquired direction on how to write a resignation letter, and who to write it to, it set about the next task which is:
Compose a formal resignation letter expressing intent to resign from the position.
and the final task:
Proofread and edit the resignation letter for clarity, professionalism, and accuracy.
With the output as follows:
Dear Dave Ashworth,
I am writing to formally resign from my position at Organic Digital, effective two weeks from today’s date.
I want to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to work at Organic Digital. I have greatly enjoyed and learned from my time here, particularly in the areas of SEO and web development.
Please know that I am ready to assist with the transition in any way that I can. I am willing to wrap up my duties and train other team members as needed.
Thank you again for the opportunity.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
I would give this an 8/10 – it’s succinct and to the point, but I’m impressed that it’s gone over the website, found out who to address the letter to, and even elicited from my site what it is I do and was able to include this in the letter. The personal touch. It’s worth a lot.
All in all, as the site says, this sort of thing is still in it’s infancy, but it gives a good idea as to the direction of AI and to demonstrate there’s more to it than just having conversations on ChatGPT.
If you check the tool out and find it’s output useful in terms of the goals you set, then share them here, would love to hear more about what folk are using this and simialr tools for.
