OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Pulse, a Pro-Only Mobile Feed of Personalized Morning Briefings

OpenAI is testing a compute-intensive, opt-in approach that uses existing context to curate finite updates each morning.

Overview

  • Pulse is live in preview for $200-per-month Pro subscribers on the mobile app, with broader access planned for Plus users after efficiency improvements.
  • Each night, ChatGPT performs asynchronous research across chat history, memory, and, if enabled, Gmail and Google Calendar to generate visual briefing cards.
  • The experience is intentionally finite—typically five to ten cards that conclude with a stopping message—and items expire after 24 hours unless saved.
  • Users can curate topics and fine-tune recommendations with thumbs up/down feedback, and third‑party integrations are off by default and can be toggled in settings.
  • OpenAI says safety filters are applied but has shared few specifics, as reporters highlight privacy and echo‑chamber concerns and the company positions Pulse as an early step toward more agentic assistants.
