OpenAI's ChatGPT has launched a new feature allowing paying users to schedule reminders and recurring tasks. This beta feature, rolling out globally to ChatGPT Plus, Team, and Pro users, enables simple reminders and requests like weekend plans based on location and weather. CEO Sam Altman anticipates 2025 will be significant for AI agents, with this feature being a step towards more autonomous AI systems. Users can access and manage tasks via a dropdown menu in the web app, although limitations exist on continuous searches and purchases. OpenAI aims to enhance capabilities during this beta phase.
