ChatGPT Pulse is here — now the AI proactively starts the chat and creates a daily brief

Sam Altman with ChatGPT on phone.

OpenAI just launched a new feature called ChatGPT Pulse and it's meant to keep you chatting, even when you may not have a question on your mind. In other words, Pulse proactively brings you updates tailored just for you to make ChatGPT feel more like a real personal assistant. Whether or not it's chatbait is for you to decide.

At the end of the day, Pulse takes a look at your chat history, memory, feedback and then does a round of asynchronous research, synthesizing all the information you've shared or asked during the day.

The next morning, it delivers a curated feed of updates in the form of visual cards you can scan quickly or expand for details. Think of it as a morning briefing, but one that reflects your personal goals, habits and even your calendar.

If you're like me, you have enough to do and read in the morning, including sifting through dozens of emails. You might even be asking why anyone would want this feature (I know I did at first). But here's why you might find Pulse useful, plus a hack if you aren't a ChatGPT Pro subscriber.
