ChatGPT has introduced a new feature that allows users to schedule reminders and recurring tasks, but this is only available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Pro subscribers. Users can set simple reminders, such as being notified when their passport expires, and receive push notifications on their chosen platform. The feature also enables users to set recurring requests, like receiving a weekend plan or daily news briefing at a specific time. To access tasks, users can select the "4o with scheduled tasks" option from a dropdown menu in ChatGPT. From there, they can send a message to ChatGPT to create a reminder or action, and the AI assistant may even suggest certain tasks based on previous chats. Users can manage their tasks by chatting with the AI assistant on any platform or through a dedicated tasks manager tab on the web app. The tasks feature allows ChatGPT to browse the web on a set schedule, but it cannot run continuous searches in the background or make purchases. For example, users can instruct ChatGPT to check for concert tickets once a month, but it cannot alert them the moment tickets go live or buy tickets on their behalf. This new feature is a step towards more advanced systems that can perform tasks autonomously. Overall, the tasks feature enhances the functionality of ChatGPT and provides users with more flexibility and convenience in managing their reminders and recurring tasks.
