I arrange 4 ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks and stopped losing time on issues ChatGPT may deal with

I’ll be working in ChatGPT and get distracted for a second. That distraction would make me waste more time than I’d wish to admit, and I normally have that “Oh, proper. The undertaking!” second. That’s after I determined to look into ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks; I’d just about written it off as only a reminder, however I underestimated it.

What stunned me was that ChatGPT could sometimes handle the task itself as a substitute of merely reminding me to do it. After attempting it out, I discovered 4 scheduled duties that modified my thoughts.

Set contextual reminders

It was easy, but it surely mounted one annoying behavior straight away

My five-minute breaks typically become for much longer ones. Something all the time distracted me and made me neglect what I used to be doing. So I gave ChatGPT that job as a substitute. I scheduled a five-minute reminder and arrange notifications in order that even when I used to be on one other tab, I’d be notified. I’ve to confess it labored completely, and it’s nice if you solely wish to give a activity a selected period of time.

If you normally lose monitor of time when multitasking, that is helpful for extra than simply breaks. You can use it to do issues akin to giving your self quarter-hour to reply these emails you’ve been that means to reply. When the time is up, ChatGPT will pull you again with a push notification. Just ensure you allow Tasks notifications first. Mine ran the primary time, however I didn’t see the reminder till I went again to ChatGPT as a result of the notifications have been off.

Report the most recent information day-after-day

I set a 7:30 PM report so the day’s updates would come to me

I scheduled a day by day activity to examine Android, Windows 11, and Samsung Galaxy information and convey me the 5 greatest tales from the previous 24 hours. I additionally requested for sources and a proof of why the tales have been so fashionable. I acquired my tales on time, with precisely what I requested for. It saved me from looking out myself or from visiting numerous websites to see what was trending that day.

What you have got ChatGPT seek for will clearly rely in your pursuits. The helpful half is being particular about:

• The matters
• How far again ChatGPT ought to look
• How many outcomes you need
• What it ought to pass over

My Scheduled Tasks immediate instructed ChatGPT to keep away from minor updates and repeated information, which helped hold the report targeted as a substitute of turning it into an extended listing of every little thing revealed that day. Also, when you ever must edit your immediate, ChatGPT helps you to try this, and by clicking the three dots on the Scheduled principal web page, you too can Run now.

Check my calendar earlier than I begin the day

My 8 AM calendar rundown confirmed up proper on time

I arrange a Scheduled Task for 8 AM and requested ChatGPT to examine my Google Calendar for every little thing I had scheduled that day. I wished a brief rundown of every little thing scheduled, together with any overlapping or back-to-back occasions and the free-time blocks between them. It did precisely that. My schedule included a gathering from 11 to 11:30, and ChatGPT instructed me there have been no conflicts or back-to-back occasions, and it additionally confirmed me my free time.

I used to be stunned to get the rundown notification on my cellphone as a result of I set it up on my pc. When I checked my cellphone at 9 AM, it was already there. So you’ll be able to set it up in your pc and examine it when you’re nonetheless in mattress. By the time you truly sit down at your pc, you already know whether or not you have got a busy morning or some room to breathe. It saves you from opening Google Calendar first simply to determine what sort of day you’re strolling into.

Watch the worth on a product

So I didn’t should hold checking Amazon

I discovered a EUCOS 62-inch cellphone tripod on Amazon for round $24, however it will solely curiosity me if I may get it for $17. Since I don’t wish to return to Amazon day-after-day to see if it drops to the worth I need, I instructed ChatGPT to examine for me. I arrange a Scheduled Task with that actual product hyperlink, and I instructed it to regulate it. The helpful half is that I additionally instructed it to remain quiet except the tripod hits $17 or much less. If that occurs, I requested it to provide me the present value and the Amazon hyperlink.

ChatGPT created a monitoring activity known as EUCOS Tripod Price Watch. This is clearly one thing completely completely different, and rather more attention-grabbing to me, than simply setting a reminder. If ChatGPT doesn’t inform me something, I can assume the tripod hasn’t reached my goal value but. For one thing I’m taken with however not in a rush to purchase, that’s precisely the sort of procuring assistant I would like.

Scheduled Tasks aren’t simply reminders

I nonetheless discover the reminder helpful as a result of I are inclined to neglect issues after I’m multitasking. Now that I’ve dug deeper into Scheduled Tasks, I can see that Scheduled Tasks can do much more than simply remind me to do one thing. It can examine issues for me, so I can deal with extra vital work. When there’s something price seeing, ChatGPT will let me know.

Since not all plans allow you to arrange the identical variety of Scheduled Tasks, you can begin with the extra vital ones, whether or not they’re reminders or one thing else. That’s why it began making extra sense to me. Fewer issues to maintain in my head, and hopefully fewer of these “Oh proper. I forgot about that” moments.
