OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Pulse, a Pro-Only Mobile Preview for Daily Personalized Briefings

OpenAI is restricting the high‑compute preview to Pro users to manage cost before widening access.

Overview

  • Pulse shifts ChatGPT from on‑demand Q&A to a proactive assistant that prepares researched morning updates tailored to each user.
  • Personalization uses chat history and explicit feedback, with optional integrations such as Gmail and Google Calendar that are off by default.
  • Updates are delivered as finite cards for quick review, and each item expires at the end of the day unless saved or continued as a chat.
  • OpenAI says the Pro‑only rollout is due to computational cost and plans expansion to more users after efficiency improvements.
  • CEO Sam Altman called Pulse his favorite feature, and OpenAI presents it as a step toward future agent‑style capabilities.
