ChatGPT is upping its game for business customers.
OpenAI is bringing new muscle to its AI assistant, focusing on making workplace productivity smoother and smarter.
Now, ChatGPT can connect directly to services like Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive. This integration means the AI can search through company slide decks, reports, or other files and pull insights almost instantly. For analysts or team members preparing an investment pitch, for example, ChatGPT can weave together findings from owned documents and data with just a prompt.
Each organization’s data privacy remains firmly in place. Access control layers keep information safe, so ChatGPT only touches files users actually have permission to see.
Meeting management just got more powerful, too.
ChatGPT now records and transcribes meetings, building detailed notes, complete with time markers and suggested action items. Users can ask questions about their team discussions, retrieve summaries, and even convert follow-up tasks straight into documents for projects or coding assignments using the Canvas platform.
The move puts OpenAI in direct competition with office tool heavyweights like Zoom and Notion, which have rolled out their own note-taking and meeting summary features. ClickUp is in the mix as well.
New Research Superpowers Arrive
For deep research, OpenAI is introducing connectors that link ChatGPT to services like HubSpot, Linear, and specific Microsoft and Google products, currently being tested. This means users can build highly detailed research reports combining fresh internet data with the insights buried inside their company’s own tools.
This suite of features is available to paying users. Those on Pro, Team, or Enterprise plans also get access to the new MCP connection protocol, which gives businesses a pipeline to connect ChatGPT with even more research tools and services that fit unique company needs.
The upgrades come as the demand from companies surges. OpenAI says its enterprise-minded products now have three million paying subscribers, a boost from two million just a few months back.
Tech sector rivals are watching closely, with startups like Context and Notion working to carve out a share of the AI office tools space. Still, OpenAI’s head start in the enterprise market keeps it in pole position as more businesses weave AI into their daily routines.
