OpenAI has upgraded ChatGPT Tasks, finally giving the AI chatbot the ability to keep working after you've closed the app.
If you tried Tasks when it first rolled out, you may still think of it as more of a reminder feature. I'll admit, when I first tried it, I wasn't sure how useful it would be for me. You can ask ChatGPT to remind you about appointments, recurring chores or upcoming events. Useful enough, but I always felt as if my phone or Alexa was enough, not to mention, both have been doing that for years.
But the recent upgrade caught my attention because now ChatGPT can monitor the web and connected apps for changes, then notify you only when something worth rnoting happens. For someone who spends way too many hours glued to her computer, this update fundamentally changes the way I can use AI.
