I have a couple questions about creating content in ChatGPT please using TaskMagic. I did watch one of your videos on this use case but left little confused about capabilty. 1. Let's say I have a Google Doc with 100+ article topics. Then I have a series of 13 prompts whicn creates the first draft step-by-step. The content is first researched using prompts, and then the article is written in ChatGPT into sections (e.g. intro, body and conclusion). How would I be automate the process using this app to apply those 13 prompts to ChatGPT before then extracting just the completed intro, body and conclusion text into corresponsing Google Sheet cells for each of the article topics, leaving out the research output from ChatGPT from the Google sheet. 2.
