OpenAI Launches Pulse to Turn ChatGPT Into a Proactive Daily Assistant

The preview introduces once-daily personalized cards that draw on memory, user feedback, optional Gmail or Calendar links.

Overview

  • OpenAI began a preview rollout of Pulse designed to collect feedback before broader availability.
  • Recent reports say initial access targets Pro subscribers on iOS and Android, while earlier coverage pointed to a Plus-first phase, indicating tier and platform details remain in flux.
  • Pulse surfaces a single set of personalized preview cards each day that users can open or ignore, with research snippets disappearing after 24 hours unless saved or continued in chat.
  • Suggestions are generated from past chats, stored memory and direct feedback, with optional integrations for Google Calendar and Gmail that users can enable or disable and curate by topic.
  • Examples include birthday reminders with gift ideas, draft meeting agendas and travel or restaurant picks, as scrutiny grows following a reported mail-integration vulnerability affecting a ChatGPT Agent.
