The new feature lets paid subscribers schedule automated prompts and recurring tasks using the GPT-4o model across web and mobile
OpenAI is turning ChatGPT from a tool you talk to into a tool that talks to you first. The company launched ChatGPT Tasks in beta on January 14, 2025, giving paid subscribers the ability to schedule automated prompts, reminders, and recurring briefings without lifting a finger after the initial setup.
The feature is available to Plus, Team, and Pro plan users globally, running on a beta variant of the GPT-4o model built specifically for scheduled tasks. Users can set up to 10 active tasks at launch, with notifications delivered across both web and mobile platforms.
What ChatGPT Tasks actually does #
The feature covers three main categories: reminders, recurring scheduled prompts, and change detection. Tasks run no more than once per hour, which prevents the system from becoming a notification firehose.
OpenAI has since expanded on the initial rollout with significant updates. A dedicated “Scheduled” page was introduced in the sidebar, giving users a centralized dashboard to manage all their active tasks. The update also brought more flexible scheduling options, including the ability to set tasks for broader time windows like “morning,” “afternoon,” or “evening” rather than pinning them to exact times.
Task limits were also restructured by subscription tier. Plus users can maintain up to five active tasks at a time, while higher-tier subscribers can manage up to 15. The improved version also includes better reliability and a smarter monitoring system that can detect significant updates before sending notifications. The earlier ChatGPT Pulse feature, which served a similar proactive update function, has been phased out entirely in favor of the Tasks framework.
What crypto investors should watch #
There is no direct cryptocurrency integration baked into ChatGPT Tasks right now. OpenAI hasn’t announced any partnerships with exchanges, wallets, or DeFi protocols. The feature is general-purpose by design.
The tiered task limits signal something about OpenAI’s monetization strategy. By capping Plus users at five active tasks while offering up to 15 for higher tiers, OpenAI is testing how much users will pay for automation capacity.
