User gives ChatGPT its own email and Drive, builds self-run health alerts and price tracking
MrBlackfist · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit user gave ChatGPT its own dedicated email and Drive account rather than access to personal ones, letting it autonomously store info and manage work. The setup now runs a health-monitoring system with email alerts, daily news and price-check searches that ping the owner when an item hits a target price, and a workflow that dodges the 5-task limit by appending reminders to a morning email digest instead of creating tasks.
The agent also has a private 'diary' area and uses Drive for handoffs between task-optimized configurations like legal research. The author wants suggestions on extending this quasi-autonomous setup.
