ChatGPT has added a feature called Task. According to VOI.ID, it is built around showing repeated search results. In plain terms, if you look up the same thing again and again, Task is meant to make that easier.

What it is

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot from OpenAI. People use it to ask questions, write text and search the web. Task is a new addition to that mix. The material available describes it only as a feature for repeated search results, so the finer details are not clear yet.

Who it could help

Anyone who runs the same searches often may care. Think of checking prices or following the news. Doing that by hand takes time. A tool that handles repeat searches could cut that effort, though how well Task does this has not been shown in the material.

What is not known yet

Several basic questions are still open. The source material does not say who gets Task first, what it costs, or how to switch it off. It also does not explain how often results refresh or what kinds of searches work best.

  • Who gets access to Task
  • Whether it costs extra
  • How to turn it off
  • How it handles repeated searches in practice

What to do

If Task shows up in your account, look at the settings before relying on it. Check what it does and whether you can turn it off. For anything involving money or business decisions, confirm results yourself until you trust it.

The takeaway

If Task appears in ChatGPT, check its settings first, and verify important results before you rely on it.
