How to use tasks and reminders inside ChatGPT

We've seen numerous new features added to ChatGPT in recent months, including updated models, web search capabilities, and the ability to remember what you say to it--and the latest software upgrade added to the AI bot by OpenAI makes it more useful as a general-purpose digital assistant. Beginning in beta form, and available initially to paying subscribers--the feature will reach everyone eventually, OpenAI says--ChatGPT Tasks lets you request the AI chatbot perform actions regularly on an automated schedule, or remind you about something in the future. Here's everything you need to know about it. "In this early beta, you can create scheduled tasks that enable ChatGPT to run automated prompts and proactively reach out to you on a scheduled basis," explains OpenAI. Tasks are available on the web, in the mobile apps, and in the macOS desktop app; OpenAI says the feature will make it to the Windows desktop app soon.
