ChatGPT there is a new feature called Tasks that allows you to set up recurring actions for the future or set reminders, OpenAI said in a press release on Tuesday.
Functions include ChatGPT giving you weekly news alerts or daily weather updates, according to OpenAI. Other tasks may include reminding you on ChatGPT in six months that your passport expires or making jokes for children every day at 6 pm
OpenAI referred to a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, when asked for comment.
The latest feature rollout from OpenAI comes as other AI companies are also looking to differentiate themselves in a competitive market. Perplexity, an AI-powered search engine, introduces a integration with Tripadvisor last week to populate the results with information from Tripadvisor users. The Google TV platform is getting Gemini AI integrations later this year, allowing humans ask them questions on TV like they do on their phones. Meta is also looking at many ways to empower humans with AI, such as potential brings Meta AI to WhatsApp users.
These steps are making AI more ubiquitous in the user’s life and also raising the valuations of companies. The confusion is valued at around $500 million at the start of 2024 and runs through $60 billion by the end of the year, while Anthropic tripled its valuation to $9 billion at the same time. While these are impressive numbers, they cannot match the meteoric rise of OpenAI, which is valued at $157 billion in October, almost doubling in less than a year. as ChatGPT’s integration with Apple Intelligence is in greater focus as features continue to roll out, OpenAI’s valuation may rise further.
Currently, Tasks is in beta and will be rolled out to Plus, Team and Pro users in the next few days. Tasks can be used on desktop, web and mobile, but the task manager can only be accessed through a web browser. OpenAI said it limited this feature to paid subscribers to understand how people use the feature before rolling it out to free users.
