ChatGPT Team Users Can Now Connect to Your Company’s Internal Data
In a recent LinkedIn post, OpenAI Product Leader Nate Gonzalez announced the rollout of a new capability for ChatGPT Team users. This feature allows employees to connect to their company’s internal knowledge sources, enabling them to ask ChatGPT to answer questions, provide summaries, and generate content about files housed internally by their organization.
How the Feature Works
The new feature is available for Google Drive, with support gradually being rolled out over the next few weeks. When the new access is available, ChatGPT admins within a company will receive a notification that it’s ready for setup. From there, you’ll be able to connect to your internal Google Drive storage, where the AI can scour your files to provide the information and help you need.
In a demo video, OpenAI showed how the feature would work. In ChatGPT Team, a new option called Internal Knowledge appears below the prompt. Select that one to see any internal sources that have been set up — in this case, Google Drive. At the prompt, you might then ask ChatGPT for information about an internal project for one of your company’s products. After analyzing the related files, the AI responds with a description and bullet point items, also listing the source files it consulted.
Just the Beginning
Google Drive is just the first source to make the cut. Gonzalez said that OpenAI plans to roll out many more connectors. Though not revealing any specific names, he did list several categories. Plus, this capability will soon expand to ChatGPT Enterprise users.
"And this is just the beginning," Gonzalez said. "The team is already working on the next wave of connectors, aiming to support all the key internal knowledge sources your team relies on today — from collaboration and project management tools to data analytics platforms, CRMs, and more. These new connectors will be available soon for ChatGPT Team and Enterprise customers."
