OpenAI Brings Recurring Task Automation to ChatGPT Teams, Eliminating Manual Weekly Updates

OpenAI has expanded ChatGPT's team collaboration features with automated recurring tasks that execute on schedules or in response to app events, allowing engineering teams to delegate routine work like weekly status reports and pull-request triage without ongoing manual maintenance. The feature, announced at OpenAI's DevDay 2026 on September 29, enables teams to ask ChatGPT to prepare weekly project updates pulling from GitHub activity, monitor Slack channels for flagged items, or generate recurring research briefs—with teammates able to review results and adjust instructions as priorities shift.
