“With scheduled tasks, users can ask ChatGPT to send reminders, handle recurring work, or monitor things for them,” according to OpenAI. “This update makes tasks easier to find and manage, faster and more reliable, with more useful notifications.”

OpenAI details how scheduled tasks work in ChatGPT:

All tasks are faster and more reliable.

Users can schedule work for specific times or broader windows, such as morning, afternoon, or evening.

Monitoring tasks can search the web and check connected apps for changes and notify users only when there is something worth reporting.
