With Tasks, users will be able to schedule tasks and activate reminders. All tasks can be managed directly in the chat threads or via a new section that is currently only available in the web version.
Want a daily weather report at 7am? A reminder that your rent is due on your mom’s birthday? Or a program that has you practicing French twice a week? Now ChatGPT can do all this. OpenAI has launched the new beta feature called Taskswhich allows users to schedule tasks and schedule reminders. It therefore works like Google Assistant or Siri, but more advanced and intelligent. It is currently only available to subscribers Plus, Team and Pro“but we plan to expand access,” the company explained.
To activate the new feature, subscribers must select “4th with scheduled activities” among the ChatGPT templates. At that point you just need to program, then ask ChatGPT what you want it to do and when. The system can also proactively suggest activities based on your conversations. For example, if you have asked for recipes several times in chat, he could propose a weekly plan to learn how to cook certain dishes. In any case users will have to explicitly approve any ChatGPT suggestion.
How ChatGPT Tasks works
“In this one first beta version you can create scheduled tasks that allow ChatGPT to automatically prompt and contact you proactively on a scheduled basis. For example, you can ask ChatGPT to create scheduled tasks for the following: Can you give me a briefing on what’s new in AI every afternoon? Practice French with me every day. Remind me of my mom’s birthday,” OpenAI explained.

All tasks can be handled directly in the chat threads or via one new section which is currently only available in the Web version. “To open your scheduled tasks, click on your profile icon and then on Activity in the pop-up menu. If this is your first time setting up a task, you can select one of the suggested tasks or click Try yours to set up a scheduled task,” OpenAI explained. “You can also create a new task by asking ChatGPT. First you will need to select ChatGPT with scheduled tasks from the menu dropdown at the top of the screen”, and then describe the task verbatim.
Once these tasks are completed, users will be notified with notifications. However, they can only be carried forward 10 tasks simultaneously“if you reach this limit, ChatGPT will not be able to create a new task unless you pause or delete an existing active task or it does not complete as scheduled.” The planned activities are supported on ChatGPT Web, iOS, Android, MacOS, “la Tasks pagewhere you can view and manage all your scheduled tasks, is currently available only on ChatGPT Web“.
