Our take
Hi Dotikers!
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Pulse, a feature that completely transforms how we use ChatGPT. Instead of waiting for your questions, the AI now automatically prepares a personalized briefing every morning with everything that might be useful for your day.
In practice, Pulse analyzes your past conversations with ChatGPT, your interests, and even (if you allow it) your Gmail and Google Calendar to create custom information cards. Imagine waking up with preparation for your important 2 PM meeting, suggestions based on your ongoing projects, or a smart reminder to organize that trip you mentioned last week. Everything appears as visual cards in the mobile app, easy to browse with your morning coffee.
For now, it's reserved for ChatGPT Pro subscribers at $200 per month on mobile only, yes, it's expensive and exclusive. OpenAI promises to open it to Plus subscribers ($20 per month) "soon," once computing costs are under control. Gmail/Calendar integrations remain optional and disabled by default, so you maintain control over your data.
What's really interesting here is the paradigm shift: we're moving from a reactive ChatGPT that waits for your prompts to a proactive assistant that anticipates your needs. Sam Altman himself describes Pulse as his "favorite feature" to date. It's clearly a first step toward the much-discussed "AI agents," systems capable of understanding your goals and acting autonomously to help you daily.
But be careful, for now it's mainly OpenAI's vision and promise. It remains to be seen whether it really works in practice. After all, our information sources are scattered everywhere: YouTube, podcasts, newsletters, social media, and ChatGPT is still far from being able to access this entire ecosystem. The real test will be whether Pulse manages to create real value with the limited data it has access to, or if it becomes just another tool we end up ignoring once the novelty wears off.
