OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Connectors for Businesses - OpenAI is preparing to beta test ChatGPT Connectors, allowing business customers to integrate Slack and Google Drive with ChatGPT. This enables ChatGPT Team users to query files, presentations, spreadsheets, and Slack discussions. Expansion plans include adding platforms like Microsoft SharePoint. ChatGPT Connectors use GPT-4o, prioritizing data privacy by honoring permissions and syncing encrypted copies of company files.
ChatGPT Connectors may compete with enterprise search platforms by integrating internal data access. Limitations include restricted image analysis and the exclusion of Slack DMs. Participating companies provide documents for synthetic data generation, but not for direct training.
