Your New Intern Doesn’t Need Coffee. Just a Prompt. ☕
Imagine hiring an intern who never calls in sick, never forgets anything, and always shows up right on time. That’s what ChatGPT Tasks can do for you.
✅ Want a daily news brief?✅ An daily inspirational verse?✅ A weekly menu + grocery list?
Just ask—and it delivers.
Here’s the scoop: ChatGPT (you'll need the paid version for this magic) now lets you schedule tasks that run automatically. It's like giving your AI a job… and it shows up. 💼
Plans start at $20/month or $200/year, and trust me—it more than earns its keep.
What Can You Automate?
Here are a few things I've got my "intern" doing on current tasks:
📰 Daily AI news from the last 24 hours
🏋️ A rotating workout plan that gets harder each week
🛒 Weekly menu + grocery list (every Saturday)
📖 A daily inspiring verse to start my mornings right
Each one lands in my inbox from noreply@tm.openai.com with a subject like [Task Update]. I click the link, and boom—ChatGPT opens with my results.

Decide what you want your task to do—help you learn something, remind yourself, create content.
Choose a time/frequency that fits your routine.
Say or type: "Create a task named ‘Daily Spanish Word’ that runs at 1 pm every day. Start with easy words and get harder. Include spelling, pronunciation, definition, and 3 example sentences."
💡 That’s it. Task created. It’ll now run daily, exactly how you asked.
