The chatbot has launched ChatGPT Pulse, a service that will deliver “personalized updates based on your chats, feedback, and connected apps like your calendar,” ChatGPT says on its site. 

This advisory adds that users can “curate what ChatGPT researches by letting it know what’s useful and what isn’t. The research appears in Pulse as topical visual cards you can scan quickly or open for more detail, so each day starts with a new, focused set of updates.”

This presumably could include news stories, and it may point to a new model for delivering dynamic, hyper-personalized content on a daily basis. That said, publishers and creators may well monitor this service to see if their material is being used. Obviously, it is built on AI. 

ChatGPT has been released in preview to Pro users on mobile. 

How does it work? “ChatGPT can now do asynchronous research on your behalf,” ChatGPT states. “Each night, it synthesizes information from your memory, chat history, and direct feedback to learn what’s most relevant to you, then delivers personalized, focused updates the next day.”

Users can also connect Gmail and Google Calendar to provide additional context for more relevant suggestions.

ChatGPT partnered with college students in the ChatGPT Lab to gather early feedback on Pulse.

What does the team at ChatGTP hope to achieve?

“This is the first step toward a more useful ChatGPT that proactively brings you what you need, helping you make more progress so you can get back to your life,” ChatGPT says. 

And community standards?

“Topics shown in Pulse also pass through safety checks to avoid showing harmful content that violates our policies,” ChatGPT notes. “You decide what shows up.”
