OpenAI Plans ChatGPT Upgrade for Continuous Contextual Assistance Within Six MonthsNext

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced plans to upgrade ChatGPT within six months to become a highly personalized digital assistant. This version could continuously monitor users' computer screens, meetings, calls, and connected services like email and Slack to provide proactive, context-aware assistance. Users will control what information the AI can access, enabling it to offer real-time suggestions and support without acting autonomously. The update aims to help users manage complex tasks by acting as an "extra pair of hands."
