Until now, you always had to be the one starting the chat with ChatGPT. That just changed.
OpenAI introduced a new feature called ChatGPT Pulse, and it flips the interaction around. Instead of waiting for you, ChatGPT can now kick off the conversation.
Here’s how it works.
Once a day, inside the mobile app, you’ll see something called Today’s Pulse.
It looks at your previous conversations, pulls in relevant context, and then gives you a personalized update.
Think of it like a daily digest prepared just for you.
Pulse can remind you about things you talked about yesterday, follow up on ongoing projects, or even suggest ideas—like what to cook for dinner. If you connect Gmail or Google Calendar, it gets even smarter. It might draft a meeting agenda or nudge you about a birthday gift you need to buy.
The feature isn’t just reactive—it can also be proactive.
You can tell ChatGPT what to research in the background, and the next morning your Pulse will deliver the results.
Each Pulse lasts only for the day unless you save it or continue the conversation.
Right now, Pulse is only available on the Pro plan ($200/month) and only on mobile. OpenAI plans to roll it out to Plus users and eventually everyone.
For the first time, ChatGPT is taking the initiative.
It’s not just answering your questions—it’s starting the conversation.
That might seem like a small tweak, but it could reshape how we interact with AI.
