ChatGPT takes initiative by introducing new Pulse briefings

A new preview feature called ChatGPT Pulse, which is only available to Pro ($200/mo) subscribers, was just released by OpenAI. It proactively creates customized morning briefings while users are asleep. The specifics: Using user comments, conversation history, or linked Gmail and Google Calendar data, the function automatically generates five to ten cards over night. Through direct requests or thumbs-up input, users can influence future briefings. Unless otherwise noted, updates are refreshed every day. According to OpenAI, Pulse was purposefully made to halt after many reports and display "that's it for today" in order to prevent engagement-driven scrolling patterns. The first of several "compute-intensive" new features that will be tested with the Pro tier is Pulse, which will eventually be made available to Plus users as well. Although OpenAI's personalization movement has been underway for some time, this feels like a significant advancement as it incorporates many of the platform's best features, such as productivity, news, connectors, and user-specific life insights, into a carefully curated morning roundup designed for the proactive, agentic era of AI assistants.
