The Rundown

This guide shows you how to recreate much of ChatGPT Pulse’s proactive briefing experience on a ChatGPT Plus plan by using ChatGPT Tasks. You will set up recurring prompts that run automatically on a schedule and deliver research briefings to your ChatGPT inbox.

Who This Is Useful For

  • Anyone paying for ChatGPT Plus who does not hit their daily token limit
  • Founders and marketers who want daily competitive intel without manually searching
  • Anyone who checks the same news, markets, or topics every morning and wants it waiting for them

What You Will Build

You will build a set of recurring ChatGPT tasks that automatically research and brief you on topics you care about, delivered to your ChatGPT inbox on the schedule you choose. Once it is running, no typing is required.

  • Daily briefings on topics like markets, AI news, crypto, or industry updates
  • Weekly competitor reports for specific companies
  • Scheduled briefings that appear directly in ChatGPT conversation history

What You Need

  • ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) or higher
  • The ChatGPT web app, desktop app, or mobile app
  • Optional: linked Gmail or Google Calendar if you want tasks that summarize your inbox or prepare you for meetings

Going Further

  • You can have up to 10 active tasks at once. If you do not use your full ChatGPT token limit each day, Tasks can help put those unused tokens to work.
  • Create a morning news stack with 2–3 daily briefings on different topics, such as AI news, your industry, and market moves.
  • Schedule weekly competitor reports, with one task per competitor on Monday mornings, covering news, product updates, and press mentions from the past week.
  • Use connected services, if you have linked Gmail or Google Calendar, to summarize your inbox or prepare you for tomorrow’s meetings.
  • Create one-off reminders for a specific date, such as following up on a proposal next Thursday.
The Manage Tasks menu might not show up in the mobile app. The source example had to use ChatGPT.com in a browser to find it.
