OpenAI Introduces ChatGPT Pulse Feature
OpenAI has unveiled a new feature called “Pulse” for ChatGPT, designed to function like a personal assistant. This tool provides users with tailored daily updates that align with their specific interests.
This launch comes at a time when retail traders are increasingly utilizing AI to assist in stock selections and crypto trading.
According to OpenAI, the core idea behind ChatGPT was to facilitate easy access to answers for learning, creativity, and problem-solving. However, users often find themselves limited by their knowledge of what to ask next.

Pulse gathers insights from chat history and direct feedback, identifying what matters most to each user. The information is then presented as quick visual cards, allowing users to quickly scan or delve deeper into topics that interest them.
In a demonstration, OpenAI showcased how ChatGPT could inquire about user preferences for updates, covering areas such as local news, running trails, or language learning. Crypto traders can also expect tailored updates about the cryptocurrency market.
Proactive Personalization in ChatGPT
Pulse represents OpenAI’s initiative to transition ChatGPT from a reactive format to a more proactive, personalized approach. As mentioned by CEO Sam Altman, a preview version is currently available to Pro subscribers, with plans to extend accessibility to Plus users in the future.
As retail traders increasingly depend on AI tools like ChatGPT for timely market insights, a survey by fintech research firm Finder found that 16% of British investors utilize AI for stock advice, while 15% turn to it for crypto trading tips.
AI’s Role in Investment Strategies
OpenAI has cautioned users against solely relying on its models for professional financial guidance. The rising use of AI for trading has fostered a burgeoning robo-advisory market, predicted to expand significantly by 2029.
In addition to gathering market insights, Pulse can be connected to users’ Google accounts, enabling it to draft agendas, propose ideas, and make travel recommendations based on available data.
