ChatGPT Scheduled Page: New Automation & Control Features

OpenAI has launched a new "Scheduled" page feature in the ChatGPT sidebar. This dedicated page transforms how users handle recurring automations and reminders. Here's the thing: ChatGPT is moving from a reactive chatbot to a proactive agent. Users can now manage background workflows that run unattended. The new central control hub lets you view, pause, resume, edit, or delete active automations. What's interesting is the introduction of smarter scheduling logic. You can use vague timing windows like "Every morning" and "Monitoring" tasks can scan the web, triggering alerts only if a meaningful change is detected. The "Pulse" tool is also being discontinued, with its functions consolidated into Scheduled Tasks. The bottom line: OpenAI has capped active automated tasks based on subscription tiers. For example, the free tier allows up to 3 active tasks, while premium users get 5. Tasks cannot execute more than once per hour, and they will automatically pause if left unattended to preserve computing resources. This update provides more control and automation capabilities for users.
