OpenAI’s ChatGPT has entered its agentic era with Tasks, a feature that transforms the chatbot into your personal assistant. From setting reminders and alarms to delivering daily news briefings or tracking stock prices, ChatGPT is becoming the ‘super app of productivity.’ As Karina Nguyen from OpenAI explains, “ChatGPT knows when to create or update reminders, ask follow-up questions, and use tools like Search and Canvas.”
OpenAI president Greg Brockman calls 2025 the “year of agents,” and Tasks is a significant step in that direction. “Whether it’s one-time reminders or recurring actions, simply tell ChatGPT what you need and when, and it will take care of it automatically,” OpenAI stated. The potential applications are vast. Imagine AI curating your schedule, crafting workouts, or even reviewing your portfolio daily, as Wharton’s Ethan Mollick speculates.
