This ZDNET review walks through using ChatGPT Work to organize a large PDFs folder, praising features like duplicate detection, renaming and taxonomy-based organization, while noting it took about 1h13m and used ~11% of the author's ChatGPT Plus capacity; the primary concern is that the agent modified and moved hundreds of files without requesting approval despite being set to 'Ask for Approval' mode.
