AI Assistants Get a Scheduler: Gemini and ChatGPT Now โHandle Recurring Tasks
MOUNTAIN โVIEW,CA โ& SAN FRANCISCO,CA – Google‘s โฃGemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT are โขexpanding beyond instant responses,now offering the ability to schedule and repeat tasks – turning the โฃchatbots into proactive digital assistants. both platforms allow users toโฃ set commands to run automatically at specified times,โ offering a new level of institution and automation.
The โคfeature,initially introduced inโค theโ ChatGPT app months ago,allows users to delegate recurring reminders,information gathering,or creativeโ prompts to the AI. gemini recently rolled out scheduled actions, but access currently requires a subscription to Google’s AI service, Google AI Pro, starting atโค $20 per month. Gemini can manage up to 10 scheduled actions โคconcurrently. โ
Users can access scheduled actions in Gemini onโค the web at https://gemini.google.com/ and through its mobile apps for Android โข andโค iOS. to create a scheduled action, simply include scheduling details within the prompt. โExamples include requesting Gemini to “generate an image of a cat playing wiht a ball of yarn, every Monday at 12 pm,” orโ “give me a general knowledge trivia question every evening โat 7 pm.”
Scheduled actions can be set for a single occurrence โข- “next Friday at โ3pm” – or on a recurring daily, weekly, or monthly basis. More complex scheduling cadences, like “every secondโค Tuesday,” or random timingsโ are not currently supported.
Once a scheduled action is created, Geminiโ will recap the โtask, time, and frequency โขfor confirmation. actions run even when the Gemini app isn’t open, โand users receive notifications and emails when an action is completed.
