Search venue sites for concerts to attend

Community report: the builder asked Operator, which runs ChatGPT in its own virtual machine with a browser, to check Berlin venue websites for classical concerts. Operator had to set dates and see which concerts were sold out. The first answer came back after 15 minutes, but names and dates alone didn't let The builder find the concerts.

Why it matters

Email is where a lot of admin quietly piles up. An agent that can read, sort, draft and follow up turns an inbox from a to-do list into something closer to a summary. It is one of 106 sightings filed under Email & Inbox on Agent Sightings (number 41 by interest), and one of 10 involving Operator.

How you could try it

Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Operator or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.

Go through my mail for this goal: search venue sites for concerts to attend. Propose labels, drafts, and unsubscribes as a checklist; change nothing until I approve.

Tip: Start with read-only access or 'draft, don't send', and check a few drafts before trusting it to send anything.
