OpenAI has rolled out Scheduled Tasks in ChatGPT, now available in beta for Plus, Pro, and Team plan users.
This groundbreaking feature enables users to automate recurring tasks, reminders, and interactions across platforms, positioning ChatGPT as a more proactive and integral tool for work and personal life.
What Are Scheduled Tasks?
Scheduled Tasks allow ChatGPT to perform predefined activities at set times, independent of the user’s online status.
Whether it’s receiving AI news updates, practicing languages, or sending reminders, this feature can streamline workflows and enhance productivity.
For example, users can schedule prompts such as:
- “Give me a daily summary of SEO trends.”
- “Check in with me weekly on backlink performance.”
- “Remind me to follow up with clients every Monday.”
Today we’re rolling out a beta version of tasks—a new way to ask ChatGPT to do things for you at a future time.
Whether it’s one-time reminders or recurring actions, tell ChatGPT what you need and when, and it will automatically take care of it. pic.twitter.com/7lgvsPehHv
