Subject: Feature Proposal: Personalized Topic-Specific News Updates

Dear OpenAI Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share an idea that I believe could enhance ChatGPT’s utility for users with specific and niche interests.

Concept Overview:

ChatGPT could offer a feature where users can subscribe to personalized, topic-specific news updates. This functionality would allow individuals to receive timely and relevant information about specific subjects without being overwhelmed by unrelated news.

How It Could Work:

  1. Customizable Topics:

Users provide a detailed prompt specifying the topic they wish to track (e.g., “The war in Sudan,” “AI developments in Europe,” or “Climate policy in Algeria”). ChatGPT would then monitor trusted sources for updates related to this prompt.

  1. Real-Time or Scheduled Updates:

• Real-Time Notifications: Users receive alerts when significant updates occur.

• Scheduled Summaries: Users can opt for daily or weekly summaries to keep track of developments.

  1. Notification System:

Notifications could be delivered via email, app notifications, or integrated messaging platforms (like Slack, Telegram, etc.).

  1. Customizable Settings:

Users could tailor their experience by adjusting:

• Frequency: Hourly, daily, or weekly updates.

• Level of Detail: Brief headlines vs. in-depth summaries.

• Source Preferences: Choosing specific sources or excluding others.

Use Cases:

• Researchers: Academics tracking developments in a specific field.

• Journalists: Reporters following ongoing stories in specific regions or industries.

• Enthusiasts: Individuals with niche interests, such as geopolitics, tech advancements, or cultural phenomena.

Benefits:

  1. Focus on Relevant Content: Users avoid the distraction of general news feeds and receive updates tailored to their interests.

  2. Efficiency: Saves users the time spent searching for updates manually.

  3. Enhanced Engagement: By receiving notifications, users can remain consistently connected to ChatGPT for ongoing insights.

Technical Considerations:

  1. Integration with live news APIs or RSS feeds from trusted sources.

  2. Development of a notification and scheduling system.

  3. User-friendly interface for setting preferences and managing subscriptions.

I believe this feature could significantly expand ChatGPT’s usability and appeal to professionals and individuals who want a more personalized information experience.

Thank you for considering this idea. I would be thrilled to hear your thoughts or provide additional details if needed.

Sincerely,

LYES NAIT AISSA
