OpenAI has expanded access to ChatGPT's task scheduling feature, now available to free account holders. Previously restricted to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise subscribers, the scheduling menu allows users to set up prompts that trigger at specific times or in response to events. A notable addition enables sharing scheduled tasks with other users, facilitating workflow collaboration.

For paid subscribers, OpenAI introduced the ability to configure prompts to trigger when events occur in integrated apps like Gmail, Slack, and GitHub. OpenAI suggests use cases such as travel alerts, notifications for new streaming content, and daily news summaries from specific sources like Engadget. The update reflects OpenAI's effort to broaden access to its AI tools while maintaining premium features for paying customers.
