# ChatGPT Enhances Functionality with Task Manager Feature
OpenAI has introduced a groundbreaking feature called ChatGPT Tasks, effectively transforming the chatbot into a sophisticated reminder and task management tool, akin to personal assistants like Siri or Gemini. This announcement was made via X (formerly Twitter), detailing how the Tasks functionality allows users to set up automated reminders and actionable items for future reference.
This innovative addition is powered by OpenAI’s advanced ChatGPT-4o model. Users can now access a designated “Tasks” section on both web and desktop platforms, while mobile users will find a dedicated Tasks button for seamless navigation.
With ChatGPT Tasks, users have the flexibility to create personalized tasks and schedule them according to their needs. For example, you might want a notification later today reminding you to check your grocery list or set up an alert for your father’s anniversary—because we all know those important dates can slip our minds!
## Transforming ChatGPT into Your Personal Assistant
While various AI chatbots already feature free reminder services, what sets ChatGPT Tasks apart is that these functionalities are provided at no additional charge. Currently in its beta phase, this feature is available exclusively for Pro, Plus, and Teams accounts; however, OpenAI plans to make it accessible to all users at no cost in the future.
This latest development reflects OpenAI’s commitment to positioning ChatGPT as a versatile personal assistant. Nonetheless, some limitations persist—such as the lack of multimodal input options like voice commands or wake alerts—capabilities that competitors like Google’s Gemini and Apple’s Siri currently offer.
The relationship between this new task management capability and OpenAI’s agent named “Operator” remains unclear at this time. Speculation suggests that they may be gearing up for a more potent AI agent launch soon; thus indicating that further enhancements could roll out within the Tasks tool moving forward.
