OpenAI has announced the launch of a beta feature called Tasks for ChatGPT, marking its entry into the virtual assistant market, competing with Siri and Alexa.

Tasks will allow users to schedule future actions, including one-time reminders or recurring tasks like weekly briefings and daily weather updates. ChatGPT may also suggest tasks based on user interactions, but users can choose to accept or decline them.
The feature’s rollout begins with Plus, Team, and Pro users on the web platform. This move comes as AI-driven virtual assistants like Alexa and Siri are evolving to incorporate generative AI.
