I would love to see an optional personalized dashboard as the ChatGPT home screen — not a fixed page, but a flexible control center that every user can configure exactly the way they want.
The dashboard should combine existing and future ChatGPT capabilities in one place, for example:
- Tasks and reminders
-
one-time reminders
-
recurring reminders
-
scheduled background requests
- Recurring information checks
-
daily or weekly summaries
-
tracked topics such as stocks, projects, travel plans, news, or personal interests
-
“notify me if something relevant changes”
- Personal overview
-
ongoing tasks
-
recent important conversations
-
open topics from previous chats
-
suggestions like “What should I work on this weekend?” based on memory and chat history
- Connected information
-
calendar items
-
relevant emails or pending follow-ups
-
outputs from connected sources, if the user has enabled them
The important part: two ways to build it
The dashboard should be customizable in both ways:
1. Manually via drag & drop
-
move widgets freely
-
resize them
-
hide or add sections
-
choose whether the dashboard is compact or information-dense
2. Conversationally with ChatGPT
-
the user can simply say:
-
“Build me a dashboard with my reminders, recurring requests, stock updates and open projects.”
-
“Make the task section larger.”
-
“Show weekend suggestions only on Fridays.”
-
“Remove the news widget and add my calendar instead.”
-
-
ChatGPT then creates or restructures the dashboard automatically.
Example use case
A user opens the app and immediately sees:
- Today’s reminders
- Running recurring tasks
- New results from scheduled checks
- Important updates on followed topics
- Open personal projects
- Suggested next actions based on prior conversations
Each dashboard card should be interactive:
- open the related chat or task
- edit, pause or delete recurring requests
- manually refresh a card
- change how often it updates
Why this would be valuable
ChatGPT already has many of the required building blocks: memory, tasks, proactive suggestions, connected sources and personalized responses.
A dashboard would bring these capabilities together and turn ChatGPT from a pure chat interface into a personal control center.
The key is that it should not be a rigid default page.
Some users may want only two simple cards; others may want a full information cockpit. With drag & drop plus AI-assisted setup, both groups could build exactly what suits them.
