OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Pulse: A Proactive AI Morning Assistant

So first we had GPT-5 proving it can go toe-to-toe with humans at their jobs… and now OpenAI’s like: Cool, let’s also run your mornings.

Enter ChatGPT Pulse — a brand-new feature that basically acts like your personal morning assistant.

Here’s how it works: while you’re snoozing, Pulse is wide awake—sorting, filtering, and stitching together a neat little bundle of briefs just for you. So instead of doomscrolling Insta or drowning in your inbox first thing in the morning, you wake up to a clean set of 5–10 cards with exactly what matters.

How? Pulse plugs right into ChatGPT’s Connectors, meaning you can hook it up to your Google Calendar, Gmail, and more. Once it’s set, Pulse will:

And if you’ve got ChatGPT’s memory turned on? Even better. Pulse pulls context from past chats to make your reports smarter and more personalized.

And get this: each card can be expanded into a full report, which you can dig into, ask ChatGPT follow-ups on, or refine with feedback.

And what kind of reports are we talking about?

All built around your context.

Now here’s why this matters:

Up until now, ChatGPT has been reactive — you ask, it answers. However, Pulse flips that script with its proactive approach. Which is exactly what a true assistant should feel like.

And the best part? It actually ends.

Pulse hands you your info and calls it a day. Which, might I add, is the exact opposite of the endless scroll social media feeds are built on.

But here’s the catch: Pulse lives behind ChatGPT’s Pro plan paywall — a steep $200/month. So unless you’re in that top tier, you’ll have to wait.

The big picture: 

Between GPT-5 flexing near-human performance and Pulse quietly running your mornings, it feels like we’re inching closer to AI that doesn’t just respond to us — it anticipates us.

So tell me this: Would you trust an AI to set the tone for your entire day?
