ChatGPT Unveils Task Scheduling Feature - ChatGPT introduces Tasks, a beta feature for scheduling reminders and notifications, advancing towards personal assistant capabilities. Available to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users, Tasks supports recurring and one-time reminders on desktop, web, and mobile, though the task manager is web-only. Rumors suggest Tasks might be linked to OpenAI's potential agent, Operator, but there's no confirmation.
OpenAI views Tasks as a progression towards making ChatGPT a comprehensive AI companion. This move positions ChatGPT as a competitor to productivity apps like Google Calendar and Trello, despite OpenAI's reluctance to confirm further developments. Tasks represents a significant step in evolving ChatGPT's functionality, enhancing its utility as an AI-driven assistant.
