ChatGPT Pulse wants to be your morning briefing assistant

Mornings are usually a blur of doomscrolling, unread emails, and frantic calendar checks. OpenAI thinks it has a fix. The company has rolled out ChatGPT Pulse, a new feature designed to behave less like a chatbot and more like a proactive morning briefing assistant.

Currently in preview for Pro users on mobile, Pulse shifts ChatGPT from a reactive tool to something more anticipatory. Instead of waiting for you to type out prompts, it assembles a daily digest of visual cards.

These are bite-sized updates you can skim before your first coffee. These cards might also include reminders for a friend’s birthday, quick recipes, local events to check out, or nudges on bigger goals like marathon training.

From chatbot to concierge

The secret sauce is context. Pulse draws on your chat history, your preferences, and optionally, linked apps such as Google Calendar and Gmail. With integrations switched on, it can suggest meeting agendas, surface travel tips, or even recommend restaurants for that upcoming trip. Users remain in control and topics can be tailored to your liking.

Of course, there’s a guardrail. OpenAI notes that every topic fed into Pulse is screened through safety checks to avoid harmful or policy-violating content.

All in all, Pulse is OpenAI’s first step toward a more proactive AI assistant. One that doesn’t just answer your questions but actively prepares the ground for your day. Today it’s a curated feed; tomorrow, it might be planning your week, shaping your goals, and taking care of the digital chores that eat into your mornings.
