ChatGPT Workspace Agents for Non-Engineers
Build real ChatGPT Workspace Agents that send emails, post to Slack, and run on schedule. 8 practical lessons, no coding required, certificate included.
ChatGPT shipped Workspace Agents on April 22, 2026, and quietly announced that Custom GPTs will be deprecated for organizational accounts at a future date. This is the biggest structural change to how teams use ChatGPT since Custom GPTs launched in late 2023 — and as of today, there is no proper third-party tutorial on how to actually build one.
This course is that tutorial. Eight lessons, about two hours total, focused on one outcome: by the end of Lesson 8 you’ll ship a production-ready Weekly Sales Report agent that reads your CRM, pulls call summaries, drafts a report, and posts it to your team’s Slack channel on a Monday morning schedule. No coding. No prior agent-building experience assumed.
You’ll build a small working agent in Lesson 2 to lock in the basics. Lessons 3 through 7 layer on the real skills: approval gates, tool integrations, reusable skills, memory, scheduled runs, and team deployment. Lesson 8 is the capstone build — the Weekly Sales Report from scratch, end to end, with the exact prompts and configurations you’ll copy into your own account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which ChatGPT plan do I need for this course?
Workspace Agents require ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, Edu, or Teachers. ChatGPT Plus and Pro (individual accounts) cannot access Workspace Agents — you'd need a 1-seat Business subscription to follow along.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The entire course uses the conversational agent builder and pre-built connectors. You describe what you want in English, connect the tools the agent needs, and approve actions. No programming required.
What about my existing Custom GPTs?
They still work. OpenAI has announced Custom GPTs will eventually be deprecated for organizational accounts, with a conversion tool coming. This course covers the migration conversation, but your existing GPTs aren't going away tomorrow.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Complete all 8 lessons and pass the quizzes and you'll earn a verifiable certificate you can share on LinkedIn or your resume.
