🔔 ChatGPT Gets Smarter with ‘Tasks’

OpenAI is making waves with the launch of ‘Tasks,’ a new beta feature for ChatGPT that lets users schedule reminders and recurring actions. This marks a significant step into agentic AI, enhancing ChatGPT's utility beyond conversations.

The details:

• Users can now set one-time or recurring reminders, like daily weather updates, news briefings, or scheduled web searches.

• Tasks are easily managed through chat or a dedicated web interface, with notifications available on desktop, mobile, and web platforms.

• ChatGPT will suggest tasks based on your conversation history, but only with your explicit approval.

• Initially available for Plus, Team, and Pro users, ‘Tasks’ allows up to 10 active tasks at a time with the "4o with scheduled tasks" model option.

Why it matters:

While reminders may seem basic, ‘Tasks’ is a foundational move towards more sophisticated agentic capabilities. It sets the stage for future integrations, like tool usage or computer interactions, positioning ChatGPT as a more versatile assistant. With the rumored ‘Operator’ feature also on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for AI agents.
