@OpenAI Launches Scheduled Tasks in ChatGPT — A Step Toward Proactive AI OpenAI has rolled out a new feature called Scheduled Tasks in ChatGPT. Users can now ask ChatGPT to automatically handle recurring tasks, send reminders, or monitor information on their behalf. Key highlights: • Create tasks that run at specific times or during set windows (e.g., morning, afternoon, or evening) • ChatGPT can monitor the web and connected apps, and only notify you when there are relevant updates • New dedicated Scheduled page in the sidebar to view, edit, pause, resume, or delete active tasks • Tasks run at most once per hour and will auto-pause after a period of inactivity The feature is currently rolling out to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. Why it matters: This is one of the clearest moves yet toward making ChatGPT truly proactive and agentic. Instead of users having to manually check or prompt ChatGPT every time, the AI can now handle routine monitoring and recurring work in the background — potentially changing how people use AI in their daily workflow.
