In recent updates, OpenAI introduced new features to ChatGPT focusing on productivity, including a tasks system for reminders and an agentic model for task execution. The author has experienced daily notifications for workouts and meditation but finds the repetitive nature frustrating. Despite initial hopes, the author concludes that while AI can serve as an excellent brainstorming partner, ChatGPT struggles as an effective to-do list application due to its complexity in task management and execution, highlighting the need for further improvement in usability.
"OpenAI has added a number of new features to ChatGPT... Tasks, which all paid users can access... allows you to set reminders and make to-do lists in ChatGPT;"
"I'm sold on the idea of AI-capable task apps. The best way to use AI is simply as a way to get you started... a brainstorming partner, a sounding board, a first-draft generator..."
"Even adding a task to ChatGPT is too complicated. You have to open ChatGPT, select the correct model... not to be confused with the half-dozen other models."
"I do wish it would stop recommending the exact same thing every damn day... The mountain climbers and positive intentions are getting a little old."
