ChatGPT Scheduled Tasks can run once or repeat on a defined schedule. You can create a task from Scheduled or by making a clear scheduling request in a regular text chat.

Open Scheduled and check documented availability

Open ChatGPT and look for Scheduled in the sidebar. Its exact position may vary by platform. According to OpenAI’s Scheduled Tasks guide, Scheduled Tasks is documented for Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans on ChatGPT web, mobile and desktop apps.

Create a one-time scheduled task

  1. Open Scheduled and start a task, or begin in a regular text chat.
  2. Describe what ChatGPT should do and state that it should happen once.
  3. Provide the date, time and time zone.
  4. Submit the request and review the schedule ChatGPT interpreted.

For example: Remind me once on August 14 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time to submit the registration form.

Create a recurring scheduled task

  1. Open Scheduled or begin in a regular text chat.
  2. Describe what ChatGPT should provide or remind you about.
  3. Specify the recurrence pattern, time and time zone.
  4. Submit the request and review the confirmed recurrence.

For example: Every Monday at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time, remind me to prepare the agenda for the weekly team meeting.

Confirm the interpreted schedule and notification setup

After creating a task, check the date or start date, time, time zone, whether it runs once or repeats, and the recurrence pattern. If a detail is incorrect, give ChatGPT an explicit correction.

If ChatGPT or your device displays a notification permission prompt, allow it if you want alerts through that platform.

Edit, pause, resume or delete an existing task

  1. Open Scheduled.
  2. Select the relevant task or open its task menu.
  3. Use the available control to edit, pause, resume or delete the task.
  4. After editing its timing, confirm the date, time, time zone and recurrence again.
