ChatGPT Now Lets You Schedule Reminders and Recurring Tasks - Slashdot
Jan 14, 2025 - slashdot.org
ChatGPT has introduced a new feature allowing users to schedule reminders and recurring tasks, available exclusively to ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Pro subscribers. This feature enables users to set reminders, such as passport expiration alerts, and recurring requests like weekend plans based on location and weather or daily news briefings. Users can access and manage these tasks through a dropdown menu in ChatGPT or a dedicated tasks manager tab on the web app. ChatGPT may also suggest tasks based on user interactions.
The tasks feature allows ChatGPT to browse the web on a set schedule but does not support continuous background searches or purchases. For instance, users can request monthly checks for concert tickets but cannot receive instant alerts or make purchases through ChatGPT. This development marks a step towards more autonomous systems, although current capabilities remain limited to scheduled browsing and task management.
