Udemy – ChatGPT Desktop from Zero: Work, Codex, and Your Dot

Have you only used ChatGPT to type a question and read a reply? This course shows you, step by step, how to get real work done with the ChatGPT desktop app, with no coding, terminal, or automation experience needed. Every one of the 60 short lessons is hands-on. You watch real controls in the real app, see an actual result, and finish with a small practice task you can repeat on your own. New terms are explained while you point at the real thing, and there are no large capstone projects.

What you will learn:

• Start from zero: install and launch the app, find your way around, and complete your first real task in Work.
• Context, projects, files, and permissions: attach the right material, keep related chats in a project, and control what the agent may access and do.
• Search, browsers, Computer Use, and voice: research with sources you can check, let the agent work in a visible browser, and understand what each tool can and cannot do.
• Everyday files: read, create, and revise PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets with formulas and charts, and three-slide presentations.
• Images, visualizations, sites, and Pages: generate and edit images, build a small calculator, publish a private one-page site, and organize Pages in Space.
• Plugins, connected apps, skills, and memory: connect Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar safely, install and create reusable skills, and control personalization.
• Codex for complete beginners: understand, change, test, and review a tiny code example, then use Git, worktrees, subagents, and a draft pull request.
• Parallel work, remote access, and schedules: run work in the cloud, over SSH, on a schedule, or until a goal is done, and recover a stuck task.
• Your Dot: assign bounded, ongoing work to an always-on agent, and control it with rules, approvals, and stop controls.
