Feature Proposal: Smart Task Follow-Up & Daily Schedule Assistant for ChatGPT

Context: Many users — especially those with ADHD, neurodivergence, or creative multitasking minds — struggle to stay on track during the day. While ChatGPT maintains excellent context in conversations, it lacks a proactive feature that helps users follow through on tasks and plans.

Feature Request: A built-in daily task manager and follow-up assistant that:

  1. Lets users co-create a personalized daily schedule with ChatGPT.
  2. Sends reminders with custom timing (e.g., “10 minutes before next task”).
  3. Delivers push or in-app reminders using user-customized tones (e.g., warm, professional, playful).
  4. Allows quick task completion or rescheduling with natural commands.
  5. Offers a daily review and planning option in conversation.
  6. Optionally integrates with external calendars (Google, iCal) while keeping ChatGPT as the core interaction hub.

Why It Matters:

  • Many users benefit from external structure that feels emotionally supportive.
  • A proactive assistant would increase productivity, reduce overwhelm, and provide a compassionate workflow, not just automation.
  • This is especially helpful for users with ADHD, those managing multiple projects, or people trying to build sustainable daily routines.

Closing Thought: ChatGPT could evolve from reactive to co-pilot — gently helping users not only think and plan, but also follow through. This would make ChatGPT not just intelligent, but beautifully useful.

I reached out to Grok privately to get their thoughts on this idea, and they replied with a beautifully detailed analysis. Here’s their translated response (shared with permission):

Their feedback highlights key challenges and opportunities, and even suggests a “training mode” to help the assistant learn user preferences over time. What do you all think? Would you use something like this?
