What is the new feature about?

Tasks is designed to function as your personal AI assistant, helping you remember important dates, manage to-do lists, and streamline your daily planning. Instead of manually tracking everything yourself, ChatGPT now does it for you, ensuring you never miss a deadline or important event – just like a personal assistant.

What can you do with Tasks?

With this feature, you can:

  • Set reminders for important dates, deadlines, and meetings.
  • Organize personal and professional tasks efficiently.
  • Keep track of ongoing projects and key milestones.
  • Automate follow-ups and action points from past conversations.

Why should you use it?

Tasks makes life easier by reducing the mental load of remembering every detail. By utilizing this feature, you can:

  • Enhance productivity by focusing on tasks without worrying about forgetting key details.
  • Save time by minimizing repetitive explanations in ongoing projects.
  • Stay organized with a centralized system that remembers your plans and commitments.
  • Adapt flexibly, as you can update or delete stored tasks whenever your priorities change.

How to use Tasks

Getting started with Tasks is simple:

  1. Create a Task: Tell ChatGPT what you want to be reminded about, and it will store the information.
  2. Set a Reminder: Specify a date and time for when you want to be reminded.
  3. Manage Tasks: View, edit, or remove stored reminders as your schedule changes.
