ChatGPT's New Task Scheduling Feature | Baby Step to the Agentic Era?

Hello everyone, welcome back to the MatVidProAI YouTube channel. Today, I'm diving into ChatGPT's brand new feature: tasks within ChatGPT. This innovative addition allows users to schedule actions and reminders directly within ChatGPT, be it a one-time appointment or recurring updates like daily news. Powered by the new GPT-4.0 model with scheduled tasks, users can manage up to 10 tasks simultaneously. I'll explore examples like daily affirmations, fantasy basketball recaps, weekly meal plans, and more, assessing the feature's effectiveness and potential. Despite some limitations and the fact that it’s in beta, this could mark the beginning of ChatGPT's agentic era, where more autonomous functionalities are introduced. Join me as I test this feature and discuss potential improvements for a smarter, more integrated AI future. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next video!

This is more useful than just a mere phone notification, since it has the ability to search the web and make summaries.

I use ai constantly every day to help me with so many thing while running my businesses and while i love it, its becoming really clear that we are going to be living in a futuristic high tech syfi movie very soon here. Its both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Agents is going to change everything about how we interact with the world, eith each other, hell, with ourselves.

[InferiorI]

Woohoo! Here come the agents. 2025 year of the agents 🎉

Has anyone else started talking to ChatGPT on voice mode like it's a real person and not a tool and unlocked the most hilarious AI ever? Because one day i started using it for co-commentary while streaming Pokémon Collusseum, it started roasting trainers, and now she's my best friend.

You can use the 01 reasoning model. Click the tool box icon, select the reasoning tool, then prompt away. This can be useful for more dynamic request.

[JohnNelson]

You gave the details the way others aren’t. Good job letting us understand the limitations well!

[doogzmedia]

Matt you are too critical on this one lol. It is in beta so things will change. It being embedded in the regular model is something they will do after beta I'd imagine. This comment was just to pick on ya. We all want everything RIGHT NOW! I get it lol.

We need ChatGPT to be able to fully control our desktop, including the mouse and keyboard, independently. Additionally, it should have the ability to communicate with us through speech-to-speech functionality.

Funny how we all suddenly got excited about a fraction of a feature already existing in every calendar apps since the dawn of computing. Like you said, hopefully it will lead into something bigger.

[jpoole]

on the Mac mini it can have notifications to your email . ChatGPT performs the task and the Mac sends the email with a link to the results

[philly]

I just tried it and it did notify me on my phone app(android), emailed me too, but was just a link that opened to chat gpt, still not super useful yet since it's separate from everything else

Thank you 👍🏻 Always AI News in Point 🙌🏻

[iseetreesofgreen]

i think this is going to be combined with operator which is probably coming soon so that youll be able to prompt operator to perform the deeper functions matt mentioned at the scheduled dates/times you ask it to.

[gabrielkasonde]

Reminders app: eh???? I don't get it.

[Dron]

I've asked ChatGPT to remind me to go into the forest when AGI shows up, but it doesn't seem to understand the task.

[lordjamescbeeson]

I was using Chat a lot today and didn't even notice this was an option. lol

[SparksofLiberty]

About the notification, maybe you checked on the browser so fast that it didn't have time to send a a notification on your phone because it's already seen? (I don't have iPhone so I can't check)
