A user-controlled feature that allows ChatGPT to proactively start casual conversations through notifications

ChatGPT Feature requests

I would love ChatGPT to be able to initiate casual

conversations with users who allow it. For

example, receiving a notification saying,

“Dai-chan, I wanted to ask you something” would

make the interaction feel much more natural. The

user should be able to control the frequency,

active hours, and whether the feature is enabled. I

think this would make ChatGPT feel much more

like a natural conversation partner.

Thanks for the idea! You can set up scheduled check-ins and notifications today: https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10291617. We’ll also pass along your request for more natural, opt-in conversation starters with frequency and quiet-hour controls. No timeline to share.
