ChatGPT Tasks can start taking over your calendar and remind you ...
ChatGPT has introduced a new feature called Tasks, currently in beta testing, that enhances its capabilities as a digital assistant. This new tool allows users to set up regular reminders, alerts, and notifications, making ChatGPT more proactive and efficient in managing tasks.
A Proactive AI Assistant
The Tasks tool by ChatGPT is designed to not only store your reminders but also suggest new ones based on your conversations. For instance, if you mention planning a trip in a chat, ChatGPT may remind you to pack your passport, book a dog sitter, or check if your accommodation has an ocean view.
The task management is handled through a dedicated section in the ChatGPT web interface. Completed tasks are notified across all your devices, ensuring you stay updated even while on the go. However, there is a limit of 10 active tasks at a time, giving you the flexibility to modify or cancel tasks as needed.
Exclusive Access for ChatGPT Plus and Pro Users
Currently, the Tasks feature is exclusive to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers. Free-tier users will have to wait to see if this feature becomes available to them after the beta testing phase. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has hinted at potential price changes for existing subscription tiers, emphasizing the evolving nature of AI technologies in the market.
By moving towards a more proactive "agent" model, ChatGPT aims to anticipate user needs more effectively, setting it apart from traditional AI assistants that may struggle with misunderstood reminders or confusing dates. While the concept of proactive AI can be seen as intrusive by some, it represents a significant step in ChatGPT's evolution.
Unlike other AI assistants that have faced challenges in accuracy and user experience, ChatGPT Tasks strive to streamline task management and enhance user productivity. As AI technology continues to evolve rapidly, ChatGPT remains at the forefront of innovative solutions that cater to diverse user needs.
