📆 OpenAI unveils ChatGPT ‘Tasks’

Lazy Bits: OpenAI has introduced "Tasks," a beta feature in ChatGPT that allows users to schedule reminders and to-dos, transforming it into a smarter digital assistant.

In-Depth Details:

Personalized Scheduling: Users can set one-time or recurring reminders, such as daily weather updates or important alerts, directly in ChatGPT.
Proactive Suggestions: Tasks can suggest actions based on conversations, though user approval is required to create them.
Task Management: A dedicated "Tasks" section on the web allows users to view, edit, or cancel tasks with ease.
Notifications: Task completion notifications are sent across web, desktop, and mobile for a seamless experience.
Limited Access: The feature is currently available in beta for Plus, Team, and Pro subscribers, with no plans for free users yet.
Future Vision: OpenAI plans to expand Tasks with integrations like "Operator," aiming for advanced AI-driven workflows and interactions.

In-Depth Details:

Brain-Computer Interface Features: Omi uses a single electrode to detect brain activity, distinguishing conversations directed at it and aiming to process thoughts in the future.
AI-Powered Personalization: Powered by OpenAI and Meta models, Omi summarizes meetings, delivers action points, and offers real-time assistance for everyday tasks.
Always-On Assistant: With a battery that lasts three days, Omi is always listening, ready to jump in without needing a wake word.

Availability: Priced at $89, Omi launches in Q2 2025, with early users already benefiting from its productivity-enhancing features.

Lazy Conclusion: Omi is taking a bold step with its futuristic AI tech, but it’s got some big challenges to tackle—like getting people comfortable with wearing it and addressing the privacy worries that come with an always-listening device.
