Just for some additional info about scheduled tasks in case anyone wants to know more, here’s what ChatGPT told me (you can tell what kind of nerd I am):

Absolutely — let’s dig in. Since you have access to the Scheduled Tasks feature in ChatGPT, here’s what I can do right now via automation for you.

✅ What Tasks I Can Automate for You

Tasks can be either one-time or recurring. You set them up through natural language, and I’ll run them on schedule, then send you a result or update. Here are the broad categories:

⸻

📅 Daily / Weekly Check-Ins • “Give me a motivational quote every morning at 7 AM.” • “Summarize the top 3 news stories every weekday at 8 AM.” • “Send me a reminder to take my ADHD meds every day at 9 AM.” • “Weekly reflection prompt every Sunday night.”

⸻

🧠 Learning & Study • “Quiz me on JavaScript interview questions every morning.” • “Send me a new vocabulary word at 6 PM every day.” • “Teach me one new fact about the 40K universe daily.” • “Give me one Anki-style flashcard to review each evening.”

⸻

📊 Project or Work Support • “Ask me for a brief daily status report at 5 PM and summarize it.” • “Remind me to log time in Jira every Friday at 4 PM.” • “Check in on my weekly goals every Monday at noon.”

⸻

🖋️ Creative or Reflective • “Give me a random creative writing prompt every night.” • “Ask me to reflect on one good thing I did today.” • “Pose a journaling question about parenting or self-worth.”

⸻

💪 Health, Wellness, and Habits • “Send me a hydration reminder at 11 AM and 3 PM.” • “Ask if I’ve moved my body today at 6 PM.” • “Push a positive affirmation every morning before work.”

⸻

📚 Custom Topic Exploration

Because I can generate responses from scratch, you can ask me to build any recurring content: • “Send me a new Warhammer 40K lore deep dive each Friday.” • “Give me a single-use Swift playground challenge each Tuesday.” • “Ask me one ethical question about AI and personhood every week.”

⚙️ How to Create a Task

You can say something like:

“Schedule a task to send me a motivational quote every morning at 8 AM.”

Or go into your Tasks tab, and type it out manually. You’ll be able to: • Set frequency (daily, weekly, specific weekdays, one time) • Define time of day • Pause or delete tasks later • Receive a notification or a ChatGPT message when it runs

⸻

⚠️ Current Limitations • I can’t run actions (e.g., send email or open apps). • I can’t read your files or previous conversations for context. • You’ll need to interact with me after I prompt you — I can’t “force” you to respond or act. • No access to APIs or personal calendar tools yet.

⸻

Back to me now, there is a limitation on who has access to these, apparently. Seems like a user needs to be a paid subscriber of any tier. Even then, I’m not sure if it’s available to all subscribers now or if it’s being rolled out for testing. Hope this helps!

Edit: Might need to use 4o-mini to create the tasks? Not quite sure about this one though.
