Within the ChatGPT app, you can ask ChatGPT to remind you to work out every morning and provide motivational quotes. ChatGPT will automatically create a task for you, and at the time you've set, it will send a notification to your phone to remind you to exercise or complete any other task you've specified.

Additionally, under the profile menu, you can ask ChatGPT to schedule tasks on your behalf. For example, you might request a global news recap every Saturday, generate a personalised meal plan, or set other reminders.

The general consensus online is that these features represent the first step towards a shift from generative AI to AgentTech AI.
