OpenAI has introduced a new feature for ChatGPT called Pulse, which is designed to provide users with daily personalised updates based on their interests and recent activity. Sam Altman , the CEO of the Microsoft-backed AI startup, announced the feature on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter ), calling Pulse his "favourite feature of ChatGPT so far." The tool works overnight, curating information from recent chats, stated preferences, and connected apps, and then delivers a tailored set of updates to users each morning. Altman compared the feature to treating ChatGPT "like a super-competent personal assistant," noting that it becomes more effective as users share more about their interests or goals. Pulse is currently available exclusively to Pro subscribers.
What Sam Altman said about ChatGPT’s new Pulse tool
In his X post, Altman wrote: “Today we are launching my favorite feature of ChatGPT so far, called Pulse. It is initially available to Pro subscribers.
Pulse works for you overnight, and keeps thinking about your interests, your connected data, your recent chats, and more. Every morning, you get a custom-generated set of stuff you might be interested in.
It performs super well if you tell ChatGPT more about what's important to you. In regular chat, you could mention “I’d like to go visit Bora Bora someday” or “My kid is 6 months old and I’m interested in developmental milestones” and in the future you might get useful updates.
Think of treating ChatGPT like a super-competent personal assistant: sometimes you ask for things you need in the moment, but if you share general preferences, it will do a good job for you proactively.
This also points to what I believe is the future of ChatGPT: a shift from being all reactive to being significantly proactive, and extremely personalized.
This is an early look, and right now only available to Pro subscribers. We will work hard to improve the quality over time and to find a way to bring it to Plus subscribers too.
Huge congrats to @ChristinaHartW, @_samirism, and the team for building this.”
How ChatGPT’s Pulse feature works and other things you should know
ChatGPT’s new Pulse feature will offer Pro users daily personalised updates. Each night, Pulse will review the user’s chat history, memory, and feedback, then generate visual cards with tailored suggestions which will range from follow-ups on discussed topics and meal ideas to progress steps for long-term goals.
Users can refine their results with the “curate” button, dismiss unwanted suggestions, and optionally connect their Gmail or Google Calendar accounts for more contextual recommendations, such as drafting meeting agendas or planning trips.
While all updates undergo safety checks, Pulse is still in its early stages and may occasionally provide suggestions that are not relevant. The feature is designed to make ChatGPT a proactive digital assistant rather than just a reactive chatbot.
"Pulse is just the beginning. Over time, ChatGPT will evolve from something you consult into something that quietly accelerates the work and ideas that matter to you,” OpenAI said about the new feature.
