GPT-4o
Six hours of reports, twenty minutes
A four-person marketing agency serves eight clients. Each Monday, one manager pulled ad and site numbers by hand. She wrote a short update for each client. She sent a PDF report by email. A builder automated the flow. Scripts pull the numbers from Google Analytics and Facebook Ads. GPT-4o writes the two-paragraph update. The report goes out by email. A review form shows each draft first. The manager adds a note if she knows more. She clicks once to approve and send. The builder reports the case. The agency is not named.
How it wentApproval takes two minutes per client. It took twenty minutes before. The title claim is six hours of work down to twenty minutes in total. Build time was about two days. Cost is about $0.80 a week in API calls. Note: the source's own before figure also says three to four hours for the whole task. The numbers do not fully agree.
