Research & KnowledgeDone with ChatGPT Agent
Compile genealogy research into a spreadsheet and plan
A commenter had ChatGPT build a spreadsheet for her genealogy research, and agent mode was recommended for compiling and formatting findings into a usable document.
- What They Did
- A commenter said ChatGPT had earlier created a spreadsheet for her genealogy research. Looking back at it, she noted that ChatGPT had recommended Agent mode for compiling, organizing and formatting research findings into a usable plan or document. She suggested Agent or Deep Research mode as an alternative to the Thinking mode used in the article's comparison.
- How It Went
- The source gives no results or numbers. It is a brief comment, and she did not report running Agent mode herself. The author said she uses Deep Research to find and compile information, not to analyze files.
- Worth Knowing
- The thread is thin on detail. Agent mode was ChatGPT's own suggestion for this kind of task, and nobody in the thread reports having tested it.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT Agent
Take my genealogy notes from [file, link or pasted notes] on [family name or branch] and compile them into a spreadsheet with columns for name, birth, death, location, relationships and source. Then write a short research plan listing gaps and the next records to look for. Finish when the spreadsheet and plan are ready to download.
