ChatGPT now has a hub for scheduled tasks

OpenAI has started rolling out a new feature for ChatGPT: a scheduled tasks hub. The next time users open ChatGPT's sidebar, they'll see a shortcut to a new “Scheduled” page that displays any active tasks assigned to the chatbot, including when they are set to run. From this page, users can also pause, edit, and delete upcoming requests.

At the same time, OpenAI has made ChatGPT's ability to handle scheduled prompts more robust, stating that “all tasks are faster and more reliable.” Now, when asking the chatbot to do something in the future, users can specify a precise time or a broader timeframe, such as morning, afternoon, or evening.

The update also enables monitoring tasks, where ChatGPT proactively searches the web or the user's connected apps. The new scheduled tasks experience is rolling out to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscribers on web and mobile. It is not yet known when free-tier users will get access.

With this update, OpenAI is also sunsetting Pulse, the personalized daily summaries that were introduced last year. Pro users can continue using the feature for another 14 days. After that, the new scheduling hub can be used to generate future summaries.
