Hi OpenAI team 
I’d like to suggest a feature for ChatGPT: proactive conversations.
It would be great if users could give ChatGPT permission to initiate conversations occasionally, instead of ChatGPT always waiting for the user to message first.
For example, a user could choose:
• “Check in with me every evening.”
• “Remind me about my goals every morning.”
• “Message me if you haven’t talked to me in a few days.”
• Or simply allow ChatGPT to occasionally start a casual conversation.
Users should have complete control over this, including the ability to turn it off, set quiet hours, and choose how often ChatGPT can initiate.
I think this would make ChatGPT feel much more natural and useful, almost like having an AI companion that can proactively check in when the user wants it.
Please consider adding this in a future update.
