ChatGPT enhanced with new Tasks feature by OpenAI

Tasks allows ChatGPT users to set reminders and automate recurring updates.

OpenAI plans to introduce AI super-agents capable of handling PhD-level tasks.

OpenAI has introduced a new beta feature called Tasks in ChatGPT, expanding into the virtual assistant market. Tasks will let users schedule future actions such as reminders for concert ticket sales or recurring updates like daily weather reports.

ChatGPT may also suggest tasks based on user conversations, with users retaining control to accept or decline them. The feature aims to compete with virtual assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa, both of which are being enhanced with AI capabilities.

The updated Alexa will include generative AI features for task automation, with Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announcing its launch in the coming months. Apple has also integrated ChatGPT into Siri under its ‘Apple Intelligence’ initiative, seeking user permission for queries sent to OpenAI’s service.

OpenAI will roll out the Tasks feature in beta to Plus, Team, and Pro users worldwide over the next few days, starting with the web version.
