How To Use ChatGPT Tasks For Beginners

In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to use ChatGPT's new Tasks feature to set one-time or recurring reminders.

I'll walk you through accessing Tasks, setting them up, and some advanced controls that aren't obvious to first-time users.

Prompts below for some suggested use cases!

----------------------------

Prompt Examples for ChatGPT Tasks:

“Every day at 7am I want you to use web browsing to see if there is any significant news in artificial intelligence. Deliver that news to me and ask me what I think of it.”

“At 8am tomorrow morning, send me some inspiration at 8am and ask me what I want to get done today.”

“Practice Spanish with me every weekday evening at 7pm”

“Ask me how my day was every day at 10pm so I can reflect on it with you”

“On the first day of every quarter, ask me to reflect on my bigger life goals—career, relationship, health—and help me set three key objectives for the next three months.”

It's great to get Chatgpt to research about stocks and send you a detailed summary about any stock.

This type of automation within ChatGPT is so clever, and opens up so many more possibilities with the software. Learned a lot from this.

[androidtricks]

Good explanation without exaggeration👍

[Kazerez]

Can these tasks be included/promoted in the custom gpt instruction box to make a gpt to run reminders, generate quizzes, plans etc on a schedule?

[meow_meow_J]

I use this to send myself newsletter summaries, news, any subjects I’m interested in, etc.

[ianbonner]

Cheers for providing a tutorial so quickly 👍

[mikegiebelhausen]

Trigger for an action/workflow automation?

[rickynois]

Can the time be variable? For example, can I ask it to send me a notification every time it will rain? I assume it would have to search the web to do that so I don’t know how that would work.

This is Open AI trying to get people used to the idea of interacting with agents imo. Tasks are the first steps to functions and the reminder aspect is to make it so humans start to feel ok being called by agents. It’s like they are trying to baby steps their way to get the average user feeling good about being tue human in loop to genetic flows. Sam Altman always suggests this kind of behavior in interviews, incrementing people to not blow their minds

[Wonders_of_Reality]

That feature might seem minor, but it’s actually an important step. These models are getting more helpful, and after such simple reminders, they’re going to remind us about something without explicit prompting. People tend to forget and omit details. Not quite sure what the next step is going to be, but it will happen soon. Maybe ChatGPT could use some initiative and write a description of a YOuTube video based on a script?

[Lordspace]

I use it to take my task list and send it to me everyday so that I’m reminded of the work I have to complete and finish daily.

the task feature not showing in malaysia chatgpt

[justinvandervort]

I can't find my tasks in the ios app - only on desktop. is this just how they designed it for now? I'm hoping I'm just missing something. To be clear - I have created threads with the tasks model and I have created tasks. I have also been able to find those tasks in-line in the thread that they were created in. HOWEVER, I cannot find the "tasks" drawer that show all open tasks that are active.

Here is one of many ways you can effectively use Chats personalization feature:

Go into any blank chat, say almost anything that has "I'm" or "my" and it'll commit it to memory.

- Hey ChatGPT, my name is atSeifer, I live in x, and attend/went to college at y, studying z.
- I drive x, and typically get around y miles per gallon.
- I'm x" y inches, with a z body type, and <list metrics about your body> with my goals being:
- My available face washing routine products are...
- My desktops hardware... peripherals... cooling system
- I specialize in <list skills> all of that will commit to memory 🚀

Lastly, I would keep a backup list for easy personalization resets to save time in the future.

[iamyers]

I would make task to remind me when I have access to it(I have not been given beta access)

[grungekookie]

for some reason for me gpt sets the tasks but they dont get triggered

[abaporujucaiba]

Ainda não consigo ver vantagens de uso.

[flntlock]

Why can't we just have an a.i. assistant it's like they are going out of their way to make sure we don't get it

[antique-bsbb]

No much more than that. At a fixed time is just one of many types of trigger for action. There are loads - just ask ChatGPT "a simple list of the triggers in Power Automate" (or Zapier).
This Beta is for the simplest trigger - the rest will be added in as Operator becomes available.
