Today, OpenAI officially announced the launch of ChatGPT Pulse! It changes the way LLMs interact, from passively accepting questions and answering them to proactively identifying problems and providing suggestions. Pulse has the potential to become a true human assistant, helping you arrange everything, just like a personal secretary.
Yesterday you might have been wondering, “What should I ask ChatGPT?”
Today it can speak for itself.
Just today, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Pulse .
This feature does research for you every night and delivers a personal briefing in the morning.
Three or five cards summarizing your key points for the day, with actionable next steps.
AI is starting to learn to be as proactive as human assistants.
A set of action cards per day, AI completes preparation at night
Pulse will integrate your recent chats, feedback, and connected apps (such as Gmail and Calendar) in the background to generate a "Today Briefing".
Every morning, you'll see a clean set of cards:
- Key points and draft agenda for today's meeting;
- The priority of the to-do list that needs to be addressed;
- Ongoing learning or fitness goals, how to proceed next;
- Itinerary for evening gatherings, restaurant recommendations, alternative plans, and more.
Just take a quick glance and you can grasp the key points of today.
Turn it off when you are done using it and don’t disturb me.
Pulse connects all the scenes
In the past, ChatGPT waited for you to ask questions, and many people often stopped at "What should I ask?"
Pulse helps you skip this step directly.
At work, open Pulse and you can see the summary and outline of today's meeting. You can click to expand it into a draft or email.
The project's to-do list is also prioritized for direct progress.
In life, when you have an appointment, it will make recommendations based on time, traffic conditions, and your eating habits, and also take into account the time buffer.
Weekend activities, holiday reminders, and gift-giving suggestions will also be prepared in advance.
In terms of interest goals, whether it is learning a language, preparing for a marathon, learning to dive, or writing content regularly, Pulse can push a small step every day to keep the goal moving forward.
Before you even think of asking, it already has the answer.
You control the boundaries of Pulse
Pulse's "activeness" is user-controllable.
Click on "Curate" and tell it directly the topic you want to see, such as "Follow local activities", "Pay attention to F1 developments", "Organize parenting skills", and you will be able to see it the next day.
Each card can be liked or disliked, and the records can be checked and deleted at any time.
It will gradually adapt to your taste based on this feedback.
Whether to read Gmail, calendar, or refer to chat history is all up to you. It is turned off by default and can be switched at any time.
This controllability gives Pulse the potential to become a true human assistant.
The leap from answering to collaborating
OpenAI's application CEO tweeted: The real breakthrough of AI is far more than answering questions, but whether it can understand user goals and move forward without you saying it.
Pulse is a test in this direction.
Behind it is OpenAI's reasoning model, which is good at long-chain thinking, task planning, and cross-domain connections.
In the past, this capability was mostly used in scientific research or development scenarios, but now it is incorporated into everyday cards.
The AI company that first makes this "active experience" easy and comfortable for users will win the users' daily homepage entry.
Three scenarios: Try it now
You can get started with ChatGPT Pulse by referring to the following typical scenarios to experience how much it can help you.
- The workplace assistant is connected to the calendar → Receive meeting highlights, draft agendas and to-do priorities every morning.
- Travel/Party Companion Tell it your plans for tonight and your dietary restrictions → Get directions, restaurant recommendations, and alternatives.
- Long-term goal coach set "90-day English check-in" or "half marathon training" → receive progressive practice cards every day and make steady progress.
