ChatGPT Work Adds Event-Triggered Tasks

This pushes ChatGPT Work closer to a lightweight cross-app agent, though monitoring remains periodic rather than truly real-time.

• –Developers can automate weekly shipping summaries, approval tracking, and unanswered-question follow-ups across work tools.
• –Free access broadens experimentation with proactive AI workflows beyond paid users.
• –Connected-app permissions and source freshness will determine whether these tasks are genuinely useful.
• –Monitoring tasks are better for summaries and triage than urgent alerts, since checks may run no more than hourly.
• –Native Slack, Gmail, and GitHub notifications still offer stronger guarantees for time-sensitive events.
