None of these require an LLM. It seems like you own this service yet can't find any valuable use for it.

ChatGPT tasks will become a powerful tool once incorporated into GPTs.

I produce lots of data. Lots of it, and I'd like to have my clients have daily updates on it, or even have content created based on it.

Sorry? My point was that these are the only overlapping features I've personally found useful that could be replaced with the new scheduled tasks from ChatGPT.

Even these shouldn't require an LLM. A simple cron+email would suffice.

The web scraping component is neat, but for my personal use-cases (tide tracking) I've had to use LLM-generated code to get the proper results. Pure LLMs were lacking in following the rules I wanted (tide less than 1 ft, between sunrise and sunset). Sometimes the LLM would get it right, sometimes it would not.

For our customers, purely scheduling an LLM call isn't that useful. They require pairing multiple LLM and code execution steps to get repeatable and reliable results.

Out of curiosity, do you use GPTs?
