ChatGPT Gains Support for Reminders and Tasks

OpenAI today said that it added a new "Tasks" beta feature to ChatGPT, allowing ChatGPT to provide reminders for upcoming tasks. The feature supports one-time reminders or recurring actions, with users able to use conversational language to set up notifications for tasks.

ChatGPT is able to do things like send a weekly global news briefing, provide a daily 15-minute workout, set reminders for completing a task like language practice, send a daily joke, create a meal plan each evening, provide reminders about upcoming events like birthdays, and more.


Reminders can be created in chat or through the tasks page under the profile menu, though the "4o with scheduled tasks" model needs to be selected. The new model is still rolling out to subscribers.

At the current time, Tasks is available to Plus, Pro, and Teams subscribers in a beta capacity, and in the future, it will be available to everyone with a ChatGPT account.

Oh yes, we definitely need AI for managing our tasks and reminders… 🙄🤦‍♂️
These are baby steps. AI is simply the next technology that can be used to amplify the abilities and values of mankind. Those who embrace it and learn how to use it to multiply their effectiveness will continue moving into the future. Those who don't will be left behind. Smack your face all you want, but you'll be doing so in the past.

How many people would want to create a meal plan each evening ?

I think that most people plan their meals in advance before grocery shopping.
Just because you do something one way, it doesn't mean every one does. There's a whole world out there outside of your field of awareness. No, I don't plan every meal a week in advance. I buy groceries with foods I typically eat and then decide what I want to eat when the time comes to make it.

I find it ironic that AI articles tend to provoke luddites on a tech forum.

I find that it's a matter of how people see the world and their capacity for adaptation to new circumstances.

To some, often those who embrace novelty, it's immediately obvious how incredibly useful these things can be in augmenting your existing skills with new ones or accelerating your work with a partner that you can delegate to.

Others fear change, probably have had the same job forever and aren't capable of adapting to new roles or just simply like the way things are. They have a revolting feeling against anything that'll disrupt it so they refuse to see its usefulness — or simply can't.

The latter group is going to have a wake up call much sooner than they imagine when they finally realize that they're being left behind and have to learn how to use AI while the first group are by then experts in leveraging AI and already way ahead.

No one cares about reminders and tasks through ChatGPT! The calendar has all those features.

I let myself be inspired by what is available at the grocery store. :)
