You’re Underusing Your ChatGPT Subscription: Codex Isn’t Just for Coding
Most people use ChatGPT like a search engine.
They open the chat box, ask a question, get an answer, and move on.
But your ChatGPT subscription includes much more than that.
One of the most common usecases for ai is processing documents. and there is a better way to do that.
In this video, I show how I used Codex to process 149 job postings (nearly 90,000 words of text) in under 20 minutes without paying for API calls. Along the way, I’ll explain why traditional API-based workflows become expensive, the limitations I ran into with local models, browser automation, and other coding assistants, and how I eventually discovered a workflow that treats Codex as a batch-processing engine.
After finding this approach, I started using it for much more than job searching. I’ve used it to analyze hundreds of Reddit posts, identify customer pain points, uncover product opportunities, and automate research tasks that would normally take hours.
The buffet analogy came from the podcast All-In Podcast, and it really inspires me. I feel like I can share how I use chatgpt and came up with tips on how to maximize the value from this buffet.
