What are ChatGPT 'Tasks' and how can I use them?

We found the answers and we did it with a single prompt. See for yourself.

January 15, 2025

Yesterday, ChatGPT released a new beta feature called ‘Tasks'. We wanted to know how to use Tasks and try out some examples so we created today’s prompt to do just that.

Today’s Prompt: Use OpenAI’s help center article to figure out what ChatGPT Tasks are and how to use them

I am looking to understand the new "tasks" feature recently introduced by OpenAI for ChatGPT.

Although there is no dedicated blog post, I found a help article at the following URL: "https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10291617-scheduled-tasks-in-chatgpt."

Extract and summarize the key information from this article regarding the functionalities and capabilities of the "tasks" feature.

Additionally, provide me with specific examples of tasks that I can experiment with to better utilize this feature.

The output should be structured as follows:

1. A brief overview of what the "tasks" feature allows users to do.

2. A list of at least five practical examples of tasks I can try, along with a short description of each.

Why we like this prompt:

  1. Clear Objective: The prompt specifies extracting and summarizing information about the "tasks" feature, ensuring a focused and relevant response.

  2. Structured Output: Requests a concise overview followed by practical examples, providing clarity and easy usability.

  3. Guided Exploration: Encourages both summary and examples, blending knowledge acquisition with hands-on practice.

  4. User-Centric: Focuses on providing value to the user by making the feature understandable and directly applicable.
