ChatGPT Tasks by OpenAI reshapes virtual assistant competition, enabling AI scheduling reminders and using natural language prompts like Siri and Alexa 

 

OpenAI is making waves again by introducing a new feature called Tasks for ChatGPT. This move signals OpenAI’s entry into the competitive virtual assistant market, currently dominated by tech giants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa. In beta testing, the feature promises to make ChatGPT a more proactive and personalized assistant.

 

More Intelligent Calendar Management with AI

 

It allows users to input reminders, create updates, and track alerts seamlessly through natural language. Whether the alert is for concert ticket sales to be reminded just once or to notify about the day's weather forecasts, the product is meant to make life simple. ChatGPT can, in fact, even suggest a task based on running discussions and providing appropriate support. Important enough, it will be totally at the users' discretion to accept or deny these suggestions.

 

Rolls Out First with Premium Users

 

It begins by being limited to premium subscribers, including the Plus, Team, and Pro plans, which can access the feature on the web version, with gradual extension in the coming weeks.

 

AI Assistant Race

 

This release finds the race for AI-powered virtual assistants red-hot. After introducing ChatGPT at the end of 2022, it released a fresh wave of investments in AI innovations that forced competitors to enhance their tools. Amazon is taking a new approach by redesigning Alexa to include generative AI features. At the same time, Apple has banded with OpenAI to give Siri high-end capabilities.

 

Alexa and Siri Level Up

 

Amazon’s upcoming AI-powered Alexa promises to act without explicit prompts, aiming for a hands-free, smarter experience. Meanwhile, Apple's Siri now uses OpenAI technology to improve its services. These developments indicate the fierce competition to dominate the AI assistant market.

 

Tasks: Redefining AI Assistance

 

Tasks from OpenAI may redefine the way of interacting with AI assistants. They promise a smooth and user-friendly experience, one that is personalized for each individual's needs. It further enhances the position of OpenAI as the leader in the generative AI space and gives way to a new era of smart assistants.
