TL;DR: A walkthrough of Spark, a workspace agent that automatically researches, scores, and personally e-mails every new inbound lead while keeping the CRM updated.
## From Prompt to Agent in Seconds
Matthew, the builder, opens ChatGPT and types a plain-English request:
> “Research every new lead → score them against our qualification rubric → send the first outreach e-mail → draft follow-ups → set reminders so nothing falls through the cracks.”
ChatGPT instantly drafts a step-by-step plan, lists the required tools (Gmail, web search, CRM), and surfaces any missing configuration. After Matthew confirms, the agent—nicknamed Spark—is created and ready to run.
## Live Demo: Qualifying AGI’s Mark Reed
A real-world lead arrives through the website contact form: Mark Reed from AGI Inc. asks how ChatGPT Business differs from ChatGPT Enterprise and how a sales team would use either product.
1. **Background job triggers**
Spark polls the form endpoint on a schedule; for the demo it’s started manually.
2. **Research & enrichment**
The agent searches public sources to enrich the contact and company record.
3. **Lead scoring**
It applies the SMB sales team’s qualification rules and assigns a score.
4. **First-touch e-mail**
A personalized message is composed and sent through Gmail within seconds.
5. **Queued follow-ups**
A second e-mail is pre-drafted and saved in Gmail drafts; a reminder task is scheduled for the next touchpoint.
## Key Takeaways for Sales Teams
- Natural-language prompting is enough to spin up a repeatable workflow.
- The agent can operate autonomously in the background, syncing with existing tools.
- Every step—research, scoring, copywriting, scheduling—is transparent and editable.
Spark is one example of the workspace agents teams can build on ChatGPT to speed up lead response and improve meeting-book rates.
