Why It Matters
OpenAI is enhancing ChatGPT's capabilities by introducing a dedicated feature for scheduling tasks, aiming to make users more aware of and able to manage this functionality.
Did you know you could schedule tasks in ChatGPT? I'll be honest, I never thought to ask OpenAI's chatbot to do something in the future, and it seems like a lot of you didn't either, because the company has begun rolling out an update that better highlights ChatGPT's ability to do just that.
The next time you open ChatGPT's sidebar, you'll see a shortcut to a new Scheduled page that gives you a place to see any active tasks you might have assigned to ChatGPT, including when they're set to run. From this page, you can also pause, edit and delete any upcoming requests. At the same time, OpenAI has made ChatGPT's ability to handle scheduled prompts more robust, stating "all tasks are faster and more reliable." What's more, when you ask the chatbot to do something in the future, you can either tell it to complete that task at a specific time or sometime during a broader timeframe, such as the morning, afternoon or evening.
Open Questions
- What are the specific limitations on scheduled tasks?
- Will this feature be available on all ChatGPT tiers?
