Chatgpt Will Soon Be Able To Remind You To Walk The Dog

The feature, announced on Tuesday, will let users ask ChatGPT to draft a child-friendly joke around bedtime at 8pm or simply share a reminder to walk the dog every morning at 8am. The chatbot will then send a written notification, such as an alert from the ChatGPT mobile app, at the appointed time.

Two years after OpenAI released ChatGPT, the product now has more than 300 million weekly active users who turn to it for writing e-mails, spitting out song lyrics and searching the web.

With the scheduling option, OpenAI is vying to make ChatGPT more useful throughout the day by adding functionality similar to what has long been offered by digital assistants like Google's Assistant, Apple's Siri and Amazons Alexa.

OpenAI expects to release the feature in beta in the coming days to its paid ChatGPT Plus, Team and Pro users, the company said.

Users will be able to schedule tasks on the web or via OpenAI's ChatGPT apps and can later modify those tasks in the same chat in which they were set up. Users can also access a task manager on the ChatGPT website. Rachel Metz, c 2025 Bloomberg LP
