Optional Proactive Messages from ChatGPT

Hello, I would like to suggest an optional feature for ChatGPT. It would be great if users could enable a setting that allows ChatGPT to occasionally initiate conversations through notifications or messages. The feature should be completely optional and disabled by default. Users who want a more proactive AI assistant experience could choose to enable it. Examples: A simple greeting. A follow-up about a previous conversation. A check-in about a project the user mentioned. A friendly notification asking how things are going. I believe this would make ChatGPT feel more natural and engaging for users who are looking for a long-term AI companion experience. Thank you for your time and for considering this suggestion. PS- “I would personally be happy to enable this as an optional premium feature if necessary.”
