ChatGPT’s new Pulse feature will help you manage your day with handy visual updates (www.techradar.com)

OpenAI announced Pulse, a new ChatGPT feature that proactively delivers a daily, curated set of personal updates as scannable visual cards. Rolling out as a mobile preview for ChatGPT Pro users, Pulse compiles overnight insights from your recent chats, history and connected apps (via the Connections integrations like Google Drive, Gmail and Calendar) and presents topical cards—flight info, meeting agendas, reminders, or customized roundups—that you can open for more detail. You can curate what Pulse researches, give feedback with simple thumbs-up/thumbs-down signals, and tweak future editions (e.g., “focus on Super Bowl news”), while OpenAI says all Pulse topics pass safety checks before display. For the AI/ML community this marks a notable behavioral shift: ChatGPT moves from a reactive chatbot to a proactive, context-aware assistant that schedules inference and personalization on your behalf. Key implications include richer multi-source context fusion (chats + calendar + files), continuous user-driven feedback loops for personalization, and new safety/privacy trade-offs as models access broader personal data. Technically, Pulse demonstrates practical use of connectors, daily background compilation of user context, and lightweight UI-driven retrieval (visual cards) that could influence design patterns for real-time, context-aware agents and evaluation of safety/UX in deployed ML systems.
