ChatGPT’s New ‘Jawbone’ Feature: Taking AI Automation Mainstream

OpenAI’s leaked ‘Jawbone’ feature for ChatGPT might bring advanced AI automation to millions of users. While platforms like Make.com already offer robust automation capabilities, Jawbone aims to make these tools accessible directly within ChatGPT’s interface.

The feature allows scheduling tasks and prompts up to two years in advance with repeat options. Users can manage their automated workflows through a clean interface for viewing, pausing, deleting, and editing tasks. Creating new tasks is as simple as asking ChatGPT, and push notifications keep you updated across web and mobile platforms.

The real power of Jawbone shines when combined with CustomGPTs. These can be configured with advanced APIs and custom tooling, enabling complex automated workflows. For example, you could schedule a CustomGPT to perform deep research, write news articles, and automatically distribute them through a newsletter system.

Google appears to be developing similar functionality with ‘Scheduled Prompts’ for their Gemini AI model. The timing suggests both companies recognize the growing demand for accessible AI automation tools.

For businesses, this integration could open new possibilities. Rather than jumping between multiple automation platforms, teams could centralize their AI workflows within ChatGPT. This consolidation simplifies the automation process while maintaining powerful capabilities.

As with any leaked feature, there’s no guarantee Jawbone will be released in its current form. However, if implemented, it represents a major step toward making advanced AI automation accessible to ChatGPT’s massive user base.

The tools you could build with this are extensive. From automated content creation to data analysis pipelines, Jawbone could enable complex workflows while maintaining ChatGPT’s user-friendly interface.

Early adoption might come with some technical hurdles, but the potential benefits of streamlined AI automation make it worth exploring. The businesses that learn to leverage these tools effectively will gain a significant advantage in their operations.
