Currently in beta, the feature is exclusively available to paid subscribers using ChatGPT Plus, Teams, and Pro plans. OpenAI plans to extend this capability to users on the free tier by the end of the year.

Announced in a series of posts on X, the Tasks feature allows users to set reminders or schedule actions directly through the ChatGPT web platform.

While it does not currently integrate with external tools or devices, Tasks is a step towards giving the chatbot more agent-like functionalities, where it uses memory and multi-step execution to perform scheduled actions.

To access the feature, users can navigate to the Tasks page via the profile menu or type a natural language command in the chatbot’s text field. Tasks can be configured as one-off or recurring reminders, such as receiving a morning summary of the latest news or motivational messages before workout sessions.
