On Friday, Altman posted on X that “a cool use case” for the company’s ChatGPT Work agent is to “connect your family calendars and explain your kids’ interests” and then “have it make a podcast that talks about one kid’s soccer game that afternoon, one kid’s upcoming birthday, some news, etc.” every day on the drive to school.
