OpenAI Rolls Out ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks to 4 Paid Tiers, Replacing Pulse in 14 Days

3 articles · Updated · 9to5Mac · Jun 17

Summary

  • Starting June 17, OpenAI began rolling out scheduled tasks in ChatGPT to Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users, letting them set reminders, recurring work and monitoring jobs.
  • A new Scheduled page in the sidebar centralizes active tasks, showing next run times and controls to pause, resume, edit or delete them, while OpenAI says the system is faster, more reliable and sends more useful notifications.
  • Tasks can run at specific times or broad windows such as morning or evening, and monitoring jobs can search the web and connected apps for changes, notifying users only when something worth reporting appears.
  • OpenAI capped scheduled tasks at once per hour and said unattended tasks may automatically pause after inactivity, signaling limits on how aggressively the feature can run.
  • The launch also starts the retirement of Pulse, ChatGPT's existing proactive tasks feature, which OpenAI said will be removed in 14 days.
