Generative artificial intelligence bellwether OpenAI said recently that it is introducing a beta feature called Tasks to ChatGPT, signalling the company’s foray into the virtual assistant space, competing with Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa.
Tasks will enable ChatGPT users to request tasks to be performed at a future time, including one-time reminders such as concert ticket sales or recurring actions like weekly news briefings or daily weather updates. Based on user chats, ChatGPT may also suggest tasks, although users will have the option to accept or decline them.
OpenAI said that it will start rolling out the beta to Plus, Team, and Pro users soon, beginning with the web platform.
