OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Pulse Preview on Mobile, Making the Bot Proactive

A newly published usage study counting about 190 million daily users helps explain the push for personalized cards that vanish after a day unless saved.

Overview

  • Pulse debuts as a preview for paid Pro users on iOS and Android, with OpenAI planning to refine it from feedback before broader rollout.
  • The feature surfaces daily suggestion cards generated from Memory, chat history and user feedback, with optional links to services like Gmail and Google Calendar.
  • Connected-app integrations are off by default and results expire after 24 hours unless a user saves the chat or follows up.
  • OpenAI’s study with Duke and Harvard analyzes logs from roughly 1.5 million users and reports about 700–800 million weekly and 190+ million daily active users.
  • Regulatory and security pressures continue, with the FTC seeking data on digital companions and recent reporting of a mail-integration vulnerability in ChatGPT’s Agent.
