ChatGPT users can now schedule prompts to run automatically at set times. The new hub consolidates scheduled task management in one location.

OpenAI has introduced a dedicated hub for managing scheduled tasks within ChatGPT. The feature allows users to set prompts to execute automatically on defined schedules rather than manually running them each time. The scheduled tasks hub provides a centralized interface for creating, monitoring, and modifying automated prompts. Users can specify timing parameters and task details through the new dashboard. This addition addresses workflow efficiency for users who run repetitive queries or need consistent data collection at specific intervals. The feature applies to both free and paid ChatGPT accounts, though availability may vary by plan. The scheduled tasks capability integrates with ChatGPT's existing automation features and follows OpenAI's broader push toward productivity-focused enhancements. The hub represents an incremental step in making ChatGPT more suitable for routine business processes and recurring research tasks.
