Bypassing Limits: Using ChatGPT's Browser Tool to Automate Site Admin UI
___Patrice___ · x · 2026-08-07
The author shared a technical lesson learned while building an app with ChatGPT Sites. Scheduled tasks could process raw photos but lacked the permission to write directly to the site's data storage.
To overcome this limitation, the developer had ChatGPT build its own admin UI. The scheduled task now uses the Browser tool to interact with this UI, successfully creating cards, polishing text, and adding translations and images autonomously.
