Curate a Mubi watchlist from stated criteria
Real-world thread: someone gave ChatGPT Agent a set of film criteria: lesser-known movies from 2015–2025, varied countries and styles, and no Hollywood Oscar fare. The agent then browsed Mubi’s library on its own, selected 10 titles it judged fit, wrote brief verdicts on them, and added the picks directly to Someone’s Mubi watchlist. Someone said it was very efficient and saved them from manually adding the films.

Why it matters
Small, repetitive tasks eat more of the week than anyone likes to admit. Cases like this show an agent taking a chore off someone's plate end to end, not just suggesting what to do. It is one of 196 sightings filed under Productivity on Agent Sightings (number 16 by interest), and one of 48 involving ChatGPT Agent.

Help me curate a Mubi watchlist from stated criteria. Break it into steps, show your work, and wait for confirmation before anything irreversible, paid, or outbound.
Tip: Start small: run it once on a low-stakes example, read what the agent did, and only then let it run on real work.
