So far, ChatGPT has only answered your questions, generated code or images, or inspired you. But thanks to the new feature that has just been announced by OpenAI, the application also becomes a powerful productivity tool. Indeed, ChatGPT now has a feature called “Tasks” which will allow you to use the chatbot to create reminders, with the help of its artificial intelligence.
In the example provided by OpenAI in its publication on
The AI records the task assigned to it and sends a notification every day at 9:30 a.m., with a short note to motivate the user.
ChatGPT also offers a page on which the tasks entrusted to it are listed. And OpenAI explains that you can, for example, also ask ChatGPT for other things, like scheduling a reminder, or sending a newsletter regularly.
The start of a new era for ChatGPT
As usual, this new feature is currently reserved for users of paid ChatGPT Plus, ChatGPT Pro and ChatGPT Teams subscriptions. However, OpenAI indicates that it will later be offered to all chatbot users. In any case, the launch of this functionality which allows “tasks” to be entrusted to AI perhaps marks the start of a new era for ChatGPT.
Indeed, the next step for generative artificial intelligence will be the execution of tasks to save the user time. Many companies are already working on technology called “AI agent” which is capable of taking control of a machine and browsing the internet in order to carry out more complex tasks. Google is testing, for example, an agent called Mariner which can take control of Google Chrome to carry out actions on the internet (such as searching for contacts in a business list or searching for items and adding them to a basket on a e-commerce site).
Recently, Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI, also talked about AI agents on his blog. “We believe that in 2025 we could see the first AI agents “joining the workforce” and materially changing business production”he wrote. Otherwise, we remind you that OpenAI also has projects in robotics. These are projects that could enable artificial intelligence to perform actions in the physical world.
- ChatGPT no longer just generates text or images, it is also capable of carrying out actions and helping you organize your daily life
- OpenAI has just launched the “tasks” feature which allows you to ask ChatGPT to send you reminders
- This could be a first step towards the development of more useful artificial intelligence, capable of performing complex actions to save the user time
