Look who just learned to tell time! OpenAI’s ChatGPT is getting a new Tasks feature, and for once, this isn’t just another tech toy – it’s something that might actually save you some precious business hours.

The TL;DR Version

ChatGPT can now schedule and automate tasks. Think of it as giving your AI assistant a calendar and a to-do list. Currently, it’s only for paying customers (ChatGPT Plus, Teams, and Pro users), but it’ll roll out to everyone by year-end. And yes, this might actually be worth getting excited about.

What’s Actually Changing

Remember when ChatGPT was just a fancy chatbot? Well, it just got promoted to executive assistant. The new Tasks feature transforms it from a reactive tool into a proactive business asset. Now you can schedule recurring actions, automate content generation, and set up custom reminders – all without having to nag your AI to remember things. Think of it as your most reliable team member who never needs a coffee break.

The Bottom Line: Is this going to revolutionize your business overnight? Probably not. But could it save you a few hours each week and keep you better informed? Absolutely.

It's a one-stop shop for cranking out blog posts, social updates, and website copy - plus it'll handle your WordPress uploads and SEO optimization. Perfect if you're tired of staring at a blank screen wondering what to write about your business (aren't we all?).

• Stella is basically your marketing department on autopilot. It's designed for businesses who know they need to be all over social media but don't have time to master every platform.

It answers your marketing questions and helps figure out why your campaigns are (or aren't) working. Perfect for when you're wondering why those Facebook ads aren't performing as well as your competitor's.

• parcelLab's pL Copilot (yes, another Copilot - they're multiplying faster than coffee shops in Seattle) helps you nail those crucial customer communications without spending hours crafting every email.

Think of it as your customer service supervisor who works while you sleep.
