Chad GPT now lets use schedule reminders as well as recurring tasks just today open AI released GPT 40 with scheduled tasks in this video I'll show you potential use cases on how you can leverage this as well as where I think this could potentially be headed I saw a post from the chief product officer at open AI I'm going to run through some of the examples that he shared with how you could potentially use this first off I'm going to write one that says send me the latest AI news at 8:00 a. m. what you can do here that's pretty interesting is since they now have the search capability is you can ask it to do research at a particular interval what it will do is once that reminder is met is it will send you a notification it will look something like this where I can go and I can click that message it will open up chat GPT and within this conversation thread we'll get the latest results here here we have all of the latest AI news here here are the latest developments in artificial intelligence as of January 14th 2025 and you can go through see all the sources just as if you were sending in a query to their search interface what I'm going to do is I'm going to schedule a number of these task just a minute out so you can see what it looks like let's just imagine we ask for a daily weather update I'm just going to say send me the weather in 1 minute you can imagine setting this for 8:00 a.
m. every day 7: a. m.
whatever it might be but what you can do as well within the interface now is you can click on the task and then you can specify the name of the task the particular instructions as well as change the schedule you can specify whether it repeats or not if you do want custom times like you saw in that first example you can just specify what you want with natural language like you saw within this we asked for 8:00 a. m. and 5:00 p.
m. but that could be any combination all right I just got an email about the weather we see sunny skies with 58° and I can click on that link and I'll see the weather Sam Alman just put out a blog post last week where I think it really points to PO where this is going he mentioned that we believe that in 2025 we may see the first AI agents quote unquote join the workforce and materially change the output of companies you could imagine an interface like this where you could just ask with natural language to have an agent do something on your behalf and it go off and do that whether it's at an interval or once in a while it could be something like research the best price on furnace filters every 3 months and have one delivered to my door while something like this isn't going to work right now I think this year might be the year that we see something like this actually work within something like Chad GPT or some of these other interfaces we see different pieces of how you can potentially accomplish a task like this in different platforms if you stitch together different solutions but I think this year is probably going to be the year where things come to a head and we start to see this within very popular platforms like chat GPT what it took from that query was to find a furnace filter price search for the best price on furnace filters notify me if there's a good deal now the next sort of iteration or logical step of this is to have it actually take that action and execute and buy that item for you I think that could potentially be a pretty interesting use case for something like this you can also have some fun with this if you want to generate an image every night about a children's bedtime story featured around and then you can just specify something like dragons and you can have it generate images maybe even a story as well every day at a certain time we can see daily at 9:00 p. m.
it's going to generate a bedtime story image and within here I could just edit this and I could say something like also write a script for the story I'll send that in and you could imagine with their capability is you could also have the audio be generated eventually with something like this another potential use case for something like this is every at 8:00 p. m.
