Visual Inputs for Tasks
What’s New
Image and PDF Inputs Tasks can now accept images or PDF documents as visual input for the model to read and reason over. Set how a task handles files with the new file input mode, choosing between images only, PDFs only, or both. This makes it straightforward to build tasks that check text against a screenshot, extract fields from a scanned document, or validate visual content. See Tasks.
Vision-Aware Shared Pages Shared task pages now show exactly which file types a task accepts, with a clear “Prompt Variables” section for text inputs and a “Valid File Attachments” section for images and PDFs. Anyone you share a task with can see its input requirements before running it.
Improvements
- Clearer separation between prompt variables and file attachments when configuring a task
- Stronger validation when creating and updating tasks, with more useful error messages
- Fixed duplicate images appearing when selecting an image for a task run
File input mode lets you require a specific file type for a task. A document-review task can insist on a PDF, while an image-analysis task can accept either an image or a PDF.
