Openai wants to give you a morning briefing (and have an overview of your other applications)

Some chatgpt users can now start their day with a personalized chatgpt morning briefing, but first, the Openai chatbot will have to browse their cat history, their email and their calendar, among others, the day before.

OPENAI announced today that it previews a new feature called Chatgpt Pulse to users subscribed to the professional plan of the company. The functionality will ultimately be deployed to users of the company’s lower level, according to the company.

Chatgpt Pulse will conduct research for users and send them personalized morning updates every day, depending on their cats, comments and data from other applications.

“By combining the conversation, memory and connected applications, Chatgpt is likely to answer questions to a proactive assistant that works on your behalf,” the company said in a press release. “Over time, we are considering AI systems that can seek, plan and take useful measures for you – based on your management, so this progress occurs even when you do not ask.”

The CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, wrote in an article on X that Pulse is his favorite functionality of chatgpt so far. He also said that it pointed out the future of the chatbot, marking “a passage from any reactive to be considerably proactive and extremely personalized”.

Today, we have so far launched my favorite chatgpt feature, called pulse. It is initially available for pro subscribers.

Pulse works for you overnight and continues to think of your interests, your connected data, your recent discussions, and more. Every morning, you get a …

The new feature comes while the AI ​​industry is rushing to deploy so -called AI agents – virtual assistants who could possibly manage tasks such as reporting, travel booking, online purchases and planning the doctor for users.

But for these agents to be really useful, they will need access to many personal data.

And although Chatgpt can already connect to user applications, in particular via a service that he introduced earlier this year called Chatgpt Agent, this feature obliges users to give him prompts. Pulse, on the other hand, works alone.

The two services seem to be previewing what will happen and are springboards so that people gradually get used to the idea of ​​sharing their application data and other information with AI platforms. And unlike the data collection to which we have gotten used to social media and advertisers, people voluntarily give AI companies much more context to help the machines to analyze it.

For the moment, Pulse focuses on carrying out research and delivery of its results as visual cards that users can quickly scan or type for more details. These updates can include things such as previous cats, recipe ideas at lunchtime or the following personalized stages towards a goal such as training for a marathon.

By linking to other applications, this service could make updates even more granular, offering a suggested program for an upcoming meeting, birthday reminders or restaurant recommendations. OPENAI says that these integrations are disabled by default and can be deactivated at any time.

Users can also ask Chatgpt to look for specific subjects, such as local events, sports scores or advice for learning a new skill.

OPENAI HOPES PULSE will eventually connect with more applications and will provide updates throughout the day. The amount of data you want to share depends on you … for now.
