OpenAI is updating ChatGPT with a new scheduled tasks feature. The new ability is rolling out starting today.
Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT rolling out now
“With scheduled tasks, users can ask ChatGPT to send reminders, handle recurring work, or monitor things for them,” according to OpenAI. “This update makes tasks easier to find and manage, faster and more reliable, with more useful notifications.”
OpenAI details how scheduled tasks work in ChatGPT:
A new Scheduled page, discoverable in the sidebar, gives users one place to view active tasks, see when they’ll run next, and pause, resume, edit, or delete them.
All tasks are faster and more reliable.
Users can schedule work for specific times or broader windows, such as morning, afternoon, or evening.
Monitoring tasks can search the web and check connected apps for changes and notify users only when there is something worth reporting.
The company adds that scheduled tasks are capped at running once per hour, and “unattended tasks may automatically pause after a period of inactivity.”
The new scheduled tasks system will replace Pulse, the existing proactive tasks feature inside ChatGPT. Pulse is being removed in 14 days.
Scheduled tasks arrive today for Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users.
