a variety of exciting enhancements, advanced functionalities, and some innovative new tools for its users. Yet, it appears that the AI organization is not slowing down its pace of development.
To begin using the new feature, users can select "4o with scheduled tasks" from the model options and enter their request along with the desired timing. All tasks can be effortlessly managed within the chat interface or through the newly introduced Tasks section in the profile menu (web only), allowing users to modify or cancel them as needed. Notifications will alert users on web, desktop, and mobile devices upon task completion. It’s important to note that a maximum of 10 active tasks can be managed simultaneously.
As stated by OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman, the year 2025 is anticipated to be pivotal for AI agents, hinting that they might eventually "integrate into the workforce."
We envision that by 2025, we could witness the first AI agents transitioning into the workforce and significantly influencing organizational performance. Our ongoing belief is that continuously providing impactful tools to individuals results in positive and widespread results.
– Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, January 2025
Currently, the Tasks feature represents a preliminary version of a more independent system, enabling users to set reminders, a familiar element for those acquainted with voice assistants like Siri or Alexa. What makes it particularly intriguing is its capability to advance beyond setting simple alerts, allowing users to schedule information requests—something that conventional digital assistants are unable to achieve.
