Digirise Co., Ltd. conducted a detailed analysis of ChatGPT's latest feature, "Tasks." This feature is a groundbreaking automation feature announced at the beginning of 2025. While the previous ChatGPT was limited to passive dialogue, this new feature allows active task execution.

The basic feature of the task function is that it allows automatic execution of periodic tasks, and supports the setting of up to 10 tasks at the same time. It also supports desktop and email notifications, and has realized functions such as linking with web searches and automating image generation. These functions have attracted attention as a new method for improving business efficiency in companies.

Our YouTube channel "Chaen [AI Research Institute] ~ Sharing the latest AI information that can be used at work ~ By Digirise" has released a detailed video explaining this new function and introducing specific ways to use it. From the perspective of supporting companies in using AI, we will explain in detail the potential of this new function and its practical applications.

Main features and functionality of the Tasks feature

Key features of the new Tasks feature include:

• Desktop and email notifications available
• Up to 10 tasks can be set simultaneously
• Limited to 4 runs per hour
• Features exclusive to Plus and Team users
• Responds to instructions in natural Japanese
• Centralized management function with a dedicated dashboard

One notable feature is its ease of use. For example, when setting up a stock price check, you can give instructions in natural Japanese, such as "Tell me the Apple stock price every morning at 8am." In addition, the tasks you set can be managed collectively on a dedicated dashboard, and can be easily edited or deleted.

Testing at Digirise confirmed that this function is easy to use and highly practical. In particular, the process from setting up a task to executing it is smooth, and it is designed to be intuitive even for users with low IT literacy.

In addition, the ability to perform regular automated tasks, which was not possible with the previous ChatGPT, opens up the possibility of significantly reducing the burden on humans. For example, automating tasks such as checking market trends every morning and creating regular news summaries allows users to spend more time on tasks with higher added value.

Use cases in companies

The new "Task" feature makes it possible to automate many routine tasks that were previously done manually. Of particular note is its use in periodic information gathering and analysis tasks.

The following cases have been confirmed as examples of actual business use:

• Automatic monitoring of stock prices and market trends (generating stock price reports for designated stocks every morning at 8am)
• Regular industry news summaries (automated news clipping 3 times a day)
• Competitor analysis (automated reporting of web search results for specified keywords)
• Assistance in automatically creating regular internal reports
• Regular collection and analysis of market research data

Particularly impressive is the automatic stock price information check function. Market trend checks, which were previously done manually, have now been fully automated, and detailed reports are now delivered at specified times. In actual testing, this function alone has been shown to reduce work time by approximately 30 minutes per day.

Restrictions and notes for the Tasks feature

Although the innovation of ChatGPT's "Task" feature is clear, there are limitations that must be considered when actually implementing it. We have summarized the important limitations and countermeasures for companies considering full-scale implementation.

The main limitations currently identified are:

• File uploads are not supported
• Integration with external APIs is not possible
• Available only to Plus and Team users

The biggest impact is the restriction on integration with external APIs. For example, automated processing with in-house systems and integration with other business tools are currently not possible.

The limitation of not being able to upload files also limits the scope of practical use. For example, this limitation can be a barrier when you need to refer to past data when creating regular reports.
