What is "Tasks"?

The new feature lets ChatGPT users schedule actions in the future, like one-time reminders, for example, when concert tickets go on sale or regular updates similar to a weekly or daily news summary or updated weather report. Moreover, through analyzing user discussions ChatGPT may recommend specific tasks even without their direct request. However, users are always free to accept or reject such recommendations that are made to them.

OpenAI’s Competitive Push These discoveries and this development show that OpenAI is keen on moving beyond just applying AI at generative levels. Since OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT at the end of the calendar year 2022, they witnessed investment volumes pouring into AI tools.

Amazon Alexa Revamp: To maintain its market relevance, Amazon has armed its Alexa service with generative AI features. In December of the previous year, CEO Andy Jassy revealed that the new Alexa that enjoys activities independently of the user’s command will start later in the coming months.

Apple’s Siri Upgrades: Apple has syncopated «Apple Intelligence» with Siri; the company uses ChatGPT AI, implying users’ consent concerning the requests for the data under cooperation with OpenAI.
