These may include drafting an agenda for an upcoming meeting or reminding you to buy a birthday gift for your mother.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI has announced ChatGPT Pulse, a feature of the ChatGPT mobile app that creates a set of insights based on on-device information. Sam Altman\u2019s startup claims it is transforming its chatbot into a \u201cproactive assistant that works on your behalf,\u201d eliminating the need for users to enter prompts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver time, we envision AI systems that can research, plan, and take helpful actions for you \u2014 based on your direction \u2014 so that progress happens even when you are not asking,\u201d OpenAI wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/introducing-chatgpt-pulse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How ChatGPT Pulse works<\/h2>\n<p>Pulse will primarily utilize data from ChatGPT\u2019s memory, chat history, and direct user feedback. However, users can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/news-openai-chatgpt-connectors-record-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">connect it with their Gmail and Google Calendar<\/a> to provide additional context if desired. It will process this information overnight so that each morning, a fresh set of \u201ccards\u201d delivers that day\u2019s insights.<\/p>\n<p>Other details the Pulse morning briefs could include meal suggestions, the next workout of a training plan, or restaurant recommendations for an upcoming trip.<\/p>\n<p>Altman\u2019s intention is clear: he wants users to start checking ChatGPT first thing in the morning, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/journalism-ai\/\">they would a news<\/a> or social media app. The Pulse cards will appear as quick summaries, but clicking on them will provide more detailed information.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Daily cards and customization<\/h2>\n<p>Each card will only exist for one day unless the user saves it or asks a follow-up question, which will add it to their conversation history.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Users can also curate what the Pulse cards display \u2014 such as tips on how to juggle or tennis news \u2014 and provide feedback using the thumbs up and thumbs down buttons, which ChatGPT will take into account.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT Pulse is currently available only as a preview version for Pro users on the mobile app. OpenAI stresses that it may still make mistakes but will improve as it learns more. The firm plans to add more app integrations and allow the Pulse to generate insights at times when they will be most useful, such as automatically preparing a meeting agenda just before a meeting begins.<\/p>\n<p>The release is OpenAI\u2019s latest furor in the world of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/news-chatgpt-agent-openai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI agents<\/a> \u2014 autonomous systems that can both plan and act without human input. Nearly all of its major rivals have released some form of agent product, as they all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/sam-altman-secret-white-house-ai-briefing\/\">insist<\/a> that this is where the sector is heading and what will make AI truly revolutionary, especially for enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost agents still need to be told what to do,\u201d Fidji Simo, OpenAI\u2019s CEO of Applications, wrote in a <a href=\"https:\/\/fidjisimo.substack.com\/p\/a-new-paradigm-of-proactive-steerable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog post<\/a> about ChatGPT Pulse. \u201cThe real breakthrough will come when AI assistants understand your goals and help you reach them without waiting for you to prompt them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OpenAI makes some reassurances about Pulse\u2019s security and safety\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>ChatGPT Pulse is off by default on the app, alleviating the concerns of any privacy-conscious users. OpenAI may have learned from the mistakes of Microsoft, which initially had Recall, its AI tool that allowed users to control their Copilot+ PC or search through files using natural language prompts by working autonomously, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/tomwarren\/status\/1796681578984182066\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enabled by default<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As Recall captured screenshots of active windows every few seconds, saving them as a timeline, many users had concerns about privacy and data security, so they did not want the tool auto-enabled. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/news-microsoft-recall-expands-rollout\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heavy backlash<\/a> led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/microsoft-recall-ai-delay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">significant launch delays<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI assures that topics shown in Pulse updates undergo safety checks so that harmful content is not generated. The risk associated with AI apps is particularly top of mind, especially since OpenAI is facing a lawsuit from the parents of a teenager who died by suicide after allegedly receiving guidance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/openai-chatgpt-suicide-lawsuit\/\">how to end his life from ChatGPT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meta has been in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/ag-letter-protect-children-ai-companies\/\">hot water<\/a> for allowing its chatbots to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/meta-ai-romantic-chats-children\/\">engage in \u201cromantic or sexual\u201d conversations with children<\/a>, including with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/meta-ai-chatbot-explicit-chats-minors\/\">likenesses of celebrities<\/a>. Elon Musk\u2019s Grok chatbot has also been found to spit out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/elon-musk-grok-ai-chatbot-antisemitism\/\">antisemitic content<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/grok-ai-chatbot-hate-speech-xai-apologizes\/\">hate speech<\/a>, off-topic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/elon-musk-xai-grok-white-genocide-controversy\/\">references to white genocide<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/grok-imagine-ai-deepfake-videos-celebrities\/\">explicit deepfakes of celebrities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OpenAI executives are on edge as campaigns mount to <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techrepublic.com\/article\/news-openai-restructure-catastrophic-stakes-backlash\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>block the startup\u2019s high-stakes bid to convert into a for-profit company<\/strong><\/a><strong>, a move widely perceived as critical to its survival.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/news\/openai-chatgpt-pulse\/\">OpenAI Unveils ChatGPT Pulse to Deliver Personalised Daily Updates<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eweek.com\/\">eWEEK<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ChatGPT can now search through your apps and chat history independently to generate personalised updates.
