OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says ChatGPT is rolling out his “favorite feature so far” with the debut of Pulse.
In a new post on X, Altman says that Pulse is designed to run in the background, processing chats, preferences, and connected apps overnight to deliver a daily digest of recommendations and reminders.
“Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively. This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized.”
Fidji Simo, OpenAI’s CEO of Applications, says Pulse is steerable, meaning feedback guides the system in the same way a person might coach a human assistant. Simo says the assistant is expected to learn a user’s goals and style over time while keeping control in the hands of the individual.
“That’s what the best human assistants do. Wealthy people have always had access to assistants who understand their preferences, anticipate their needs, and can help with everything from managing appointments and booking trips to shopping for clothes. In contrast, the average U.S. household spends nearly 20 hours a week on domestic work, logistics, and errands.”
Pulse currently connects to Gmail and Google Calendar, with the company planning to expand integrations over time. For now, the feature is rolling out as a preview on the ChatGPT Pro tier on mobile with the intention of releasing it “soon” to Plus users.
