OpenAI has introduced a new feature for ChatGPT called Tasks. The new feature will allow users to schedule reminders, updates, and alerts, while also helping ChatGPT provide more personalised outputs. The Tasks feature is currently in beta and is being rolled out globally for premium users.
ChatGPT can now provide daily weather updates, remind users of important dates such as passport renewals or ticket sales, and even send fun updates like knock-knock jokes for children every evening.
How and from where to use ‘Tasks’
To utilise this feature, eligible users must select “GPT-4o with scheduled tasks” from the model picker and describe the desired task and its timing. While tasks can be set up on any platform, they can currently only be managed and modified through the web version via a “Tasks” section in the profile menu. Notifications for scheduled tasks are accessible on web, desktop, and mobile devices.
The feature also offers a degree of automation, with ChatGPT suggesting tasks based on user interactions. Users can choose to accept or decline these suggestions, allowing the assistant to better cater to individual needs.
The beta feature is available to premium subscribers, including those on Plus, Team, and Pro plans. The Plus which costs $20 per month. OpenAI is gradually rolling out the update, starting with web users over the coming days.
