ChatGPT introduces a dedicated hub for scheduled tasks

OpenAI has introduced a new scheduling hub in ChatGPT, making it easier for users to create, manage and monitor future tasks directly from the chatbot interface. The update highlights a feature that has existed within ChatGPT but has remained largely unnoticed by many users.

The new addition appears as a dedicated Scheduled page accessible from ChatGPT’s sidebar. It provides users with a central location to view active tasks, check when they are due to run and manage upcoming requests. The move forms part of OpenAI’s wider effort to improve how users interact with automated and recurring actions within ChatGPT.

New scheduling hub simplifies task management

The Scheduled page allows users to see all active tasks in one place, offering greater visibility into actions they have previously assigned to ChatGPT. Users can review scheduled requests and make changes without recreating them from scratch.

New in ChatGPT: a better way to schedule tasks.

Scheduled tasks are faster, more reliable, and easier to manage from the new Scheduled page.

From the new hub, tasks can be paused, edited or deleted as needed. This gives users more control over future actions and helps streamline the management of recurring requests. OpenAI said the update is designed to make scheduling features more accessible and easier to use.

The company noted that task handling has also been improved behind the scenes. According to OpenAI, “all tasks are faster and more reliable.” The enhancement aims to ensure that scheduled requests are completed more consistently and with fewer delays.

The update also expands scheduling flexibility. Rather than requiring an exact time, users can now instruct ChatGPT to perform a task within a broader time window. For example, requests can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening, allowing for more natural and convenient planning.

Monitoring capabilities extend beyond reminders

In addition to standard scheduled actions, the updated system supports monitoring tasks. These tasks allow ChatGPT to proactively check information sources on behalf of users and provide updates when required.

A demonstration video shared by OpenAI shows that ChatGPT can search the web or access connected applications as part of these monitoring activities. This allows the chatbot to perform ongoing checks rather than simply waiting for a fixed period before completing a task.

The feature could be useful for users who want regular updates on specific topics, changes to online information or summaries generated from connected services. By combining scheduling with monitoring, OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT as a more active digital assistant capable of handling a wider range of automated tasks.

The introduction of monitoring tasks reflects a broader trend among artificial intelligence platforms to move beyond conversational interactions and support ongoing workflows. Instead of responding only when prompted, AI assistants are increasingly being designed to carry out actions independently within user-defined parameters.

Availability and the end of Pulse

The new scheduling hub is being rolled out to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise subscribers. OpenAI has not announced when, or if, the feature will become available to users on the free tier.

Alongside the launch, OpenAI confirmed that it is retiring Pulse, the personalised daily summary feature introduced last year. Pulse provided users with regular updates and summaries tailored to their interests, but the company appears to be replacing that functionality with the broader capabilities offered through scheduled tasks.

Pro subscribers will continue to have access to Pulse for a limited transition period. OpenAI said the feature will remain available for the next 14 days before being discontinued completely.

After Pulse is retired, users who wish to receive regular summaries will be able to create similar automated updates through the new scheduling hub. This approach gives users greater flexibility, allowing them to customise the timing and frequency of future summaries according to their individual needs.

The launch highlights OpenAI’s ongoing efforts to transform ChatGPT from a reactive chatbot into a more capable assistant that can manage future tasks, monitor information sources and deliver updates automatically.
