ChatGPT Pulse From Questions To Proactive Recommendations

OpenAI has just introduced Pulse – a new feature in ChatGPT where the AI no longer simply reacts to user input, but proactively suggests relevant updates and actions. Pulse gathers input from previous conversations, user feedback, and integrated sources such as email and calendar, and presents suggestions in the form of compact information cards.

For businesses, this signals that AI assistants are no longer just tools for handling individual tasks – they are becoming continuous links between data, decisions, and daily workflows.

Experiences From the First Users

Pulse has been tested in user groups – including students who have used it to organize notes, get an overview of deadlines, and receive reminders.

OpenAI also highlights several clear use cases:

  • Meeting preparation and planning – Pulse can compile agenda items and past conversation summaries to help participants arrive prepared.
  • The research – appears in Pulse as topical visual cards you can scan quickly or open for detail, giving a focused set of updates each day.
  • Personal productivity – Pulse acts as an assistant that presents relevant suggestions rather than waiting for a prompt.

 

While concrete experiences are still limited to OpenAI’s internal testing and examples, they offer a glimpse of how Pulse could be applied in practice as organizations begin to experiment with it.

Learning: Relevance Depends on Guidance

A key pattern is that Pulse becomes most valuable when the user actively guides what should be prioritized. The organizations that succeed are those that define clear parameters for what types of information should be monitored and how feedback is given.

A key pattern is that Pulse becomes most valuable when the user actively guides what should be prioritized. In the same way, organizations that succeed with generative AI are those that set clear parameters for how tools are used and embed feedback into workflows. A 2024 WEF report, Unlocking Value from Generative AI, states that, “Value-based change management is critical to addressing human impact and ensuring the workforce remains engaged and upskilled.”

This reflects a broader trend: companies that systematically invest in skills development and change management capture significantly more value from generative AI than those that simply implement the tools without organizational integration.

Perspective for businesses

Pulse is still in preview, but its introduction points to a shift: from reactive systems to proactive assistants. This brings both opportunities and challenges:

  • Data integration: Which sources should the AI have access to in order to deliver real value, and how can data quality be ensured?
  • Governance: How do you prevent Pulse from becoming a source of noise rather than value? Should all employees have access, or is it primarily a tool for specific roles?
  • Adoption: How can users be trained to provide feedback and guide the AI so that its suggestions are relevant in a specific business context?

 

It’s worth noting that Pulse doesn’t deliver “final decisions,” but rather helps organizations ask the right questions. In this way, the technology is a step toward a more symbiotic collaboration between humans and AI.

Availability

Currently, Pulse is only available to ChatGPT Pro users on iOS and Android, and it remains in a preview stage with limited functionality. The feature is not yet supported on the web or desktop. OpenAI has stated that Pulse will expand beyond early access, with the long-term goal of making it broadly available, but no official timeline has been confirmed. This means users who want to try Pulse today must do so through the mobile app, while the web and desktop rollout will depend on ongoing feedback and improvements gathered during the preview phase.

Our Perspective

At ZRM, we see Pulse as an important step toward a new kind of workflow; one where the AI doesn’t just execute tasks on command, but becomes an active participant in decision-making processes. However, the true value can only be realized when organizations take a structured approach to data sources, governance, and user training.

Pulse is not a finished solution, but a tool that can help companies ask better questions and strengthen continuous learning across teams. We believe that companies already experimenting with proactive AI features today will be better positioned when this way of working becomes a natural part of everyday business.
