OpenAI is testing a new feature called Pulse that aims to make ChatGPT a more proactive assistant. Instead of waiting for questions, ChatGPT now pulls in information on its own and delivers daily updates.
Once a day, Pulse pulls together a set of personalized updates based on your usage history. ChatGPT scans your past chats, saved feedback, and any linked apps like Google Calendar or Gmail overnight to find relevant info. The next day, you get a set of visual cards with updates you can skim, open, or save for later. The idea is to give you useful information before you even ask for it, OpenAI says.
Right now, Pulse is only available as a preview for ChatGPT Pro users on the mobile app
ChatGPT as a proactive assistant
OpenAI describes Pulse as the first step toward making ChatGPT more like an autonomous agent that acts on its own, not just when you prompt it. These daily updates can include anything from recipe ideas and travel plans to next steps for bigger goals like a new workout routine.
