OpenAI is rolling out a new ChatGPT feature that delivers updates and reminders each morning based on your chats, feedback, and connected apps.
The feature, called ChatGPT Pulse, presents information in the form of visual cards. You can scan each card or open it for more details. These cards usually contain follow-ups on topics you discuss often or tips to meet your long-term goals. If you have Gmail or Google Calendar connected, Pulse may even draft a sample meeting agenda, remind you to get gifts, or provide you with suggestions for an upcoming trip.
To compile a morning briefing, ChatGPT conducts asynchronous research overnight. "It synthesizes information from your memory, chat history, and direct feedback to learn what's most relevant to you," OpenAI says.
You can also curate what you wish to receive the next day. At the end of each briefing, the feature mentions what it plans to show tomorrow. If there's something you'd like to be reminded of or alerted to, tap the "Curate for tomorrow" button. Here, you can pick from the suggested topics or select the "Share anything" button and mention your request.
With this update, OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a proactive AI assistant that initiates helpful conversations without waiting for you to provide prompts.
"This is the first step toward a more useful ChatGPT that proactively brings you what you need, helping you make more progress so you can get back to your life," OpenAI says.
You can also enable notifications for Pulse. This way, Pulse gets delivered to you each morning like your daily newspaper. OpenAI will then benefit by you making ChatGPT a part of your early morning routine as you'll be more likely to continue to use its services throughout the day.
At launch, ChatGPT Pulse is available to Pro subscribers on iOS and Android. It will gradually roll out to Plus subscribers, and eventually to all users.
