OpenAI is looking for any way to ensure that its chatbot with artificial intelligence is as close as possible to the user to assist them in different ways, such as its integration into WhatsApp in a very original way. Now he wants to make the big leap towards a virtual assistant by offering the user the ability to schedule reminders and tasks with ChatGPT.
With the idea of going looking at what would soon be an agent with AIanother of the trends that are currently occurring with brands such as Google or HONOR itself, now you can enjoy a new experience through the beta which has been called tasks and which will begin this week with its deployment for the users.
With ChatGPT tasks, users will be able to set reminders such as “remind me when my passport expires in six months” and thus the AI assistant sends a notification from the device or platform the user is on.
ChatGPT tasks and reminders will only be available to paying users. via ChatGPT Plus, Team and Pro. And apart from being able to create reminders, the possibility of configuring recurring tasks is also included, such as “Every Monday, remind me of the week’s plan based on my location and the weather forecast.”
These types of commands, such as “Give me a daily summary of the news every day at 7 in the morning”they remember, and a lot, where Gemini, Google’s AI, is heading, which has the advantage of being included in Android phones to offer a similar experience.
Reminders in ChatGPT
The Free Android
It is one of the steps OpenAI is taking to turn ChatGPT into an AI agent with a series of main functions to be the virtual assistant that can offer a wide range of experiences to the user.
According to TechCrunch, Sam Altman maintains that this year is going to be very special for this type of experiences coming from AI agents, although the one that is deployed this week for subscribers will be limited.

A very advanced virtual assistant
OpenAI says ChatGPT too will be in charge of suggesting certain tasks according to the chats with users, as well as reminders can be requested from each of the apps or platforms in which the OpenAI chatbot is currently available.
And the experience with reminders and tasks is going to be more complex and useful than you might think, since you can be asked to do so every month. check if there is going to be any concert of your favorite artist in townalthough it will not yet be able to give an alert for that time when tickets are available for purchase.
This new experience is closely linked to what Google is developing with its Gemini on mobile devices, just like Apple with its Siri, so we will have to be attentive to where OpenAI pivots, since it partly plays at a disadvantage and both technological giants will have their cards to playespecially Apple, which could benefit from an alliance with OpenAI as it lacks a more developed major language model like the one Google can offer.
