ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks: New AI Personal Assistant Feature

ChatGPT now has an expanded Scheduled Tasks system. This update allows users to set reminders, automate recurring requests, and track specific topics for updates. The new feature is rolling out gradually, making ChatGPT more like a personal assistant. It can perform actions based on a user's schedule. For example, you can set a reminder for a birthday or ask it to monitor a product launch. There's a dedicated control center for these tasks, accessible in both the web version and mobile apps. Users can view, change, pause, or delete tasks there. Notifications must be enabled for reminders to work. One interesting feature is asking ChatGPT to monitor changes and send notifications, like updates to an app or news on a specific topic. However, this feature is not available on the free plan; a subscription is required. The number of active tasks depends on the subscription tier. The Go plan allows three tasks, Plus allows five, Business and Edu users get up to 10, and Pro and Enterprise plan holders can have up to 15. This means AI tools are becoming more proactive in helping manage daily tasks and information.
