Overview

• Pulse runs overnight “asynchronous research” across chat history, saved memory and optional Gmail and Google Calendar to generate five to ten visual cards each morning.
• Updates refresh once daily, can be saved or expanded into chats, and the feed intentionally stops with a “That’s it for today” message to discourage endless scrolling.
• Users can shape the feed with thumbs-up/down feedback and a “curate” control, and OpenAI says topics pass safety checks before appearing.
• App integrations are opt-in and can be toggled, enabling tasks such as drafting meeting agendas, surfacing priority emails, birthday reminders and trip recommendations.
• OpenAI frames Pulse as a step toward a more proactive assistant that could compete with news and briefing services, while coverage flags privacy and accuracy concerns.
