What is the ‘Company Knowledge’ Feature?

OpenAI has‍ introduced⁢ a new “company knowledge” feature for ChatGPT, designed to streamline access to workspace facts. This update, announced⁢ on OpenAI’s website, aims to reduce the need to switch between applications when seeking answers. The ⁤feature is currently available to ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Education users.

How Does it work?

the feature leverages a version of GPT-5 and directly connects to popular workplace tools, including Slack, SharePoint, Google drive, and ‍GitHub. ⁢This allows ChatGPT to search thru these sources to provide more relevant and ⁢thorough answers.‍ However, the functionality isn’t without limitations.

Company knowledge must be manually selected when initiating new conversations. ChatGPT cannot currently ⁣search the web or generate charts and ‍images while this feature is active.OpenAI notes that ChatGPT may still respond using connected apps even⁣ without explicit activation of ⁣company knowledge, but responses will lack the same level of detail and supporting citations.

Limitations and Future Updates

Currently, the ‘Company Knowledge’ feature has ‍several restrictions:

• Manual activation⁣ is required ‍for each new conversation.
• Web searching is disabled while the feature is active.
• Chart and image creation are unavailable.

OpenAI plans to address these limitations in future updates, expanding company knowledge support to other ChatGPT capabilities. This suggests a broader integration of internal data sources into the chatbot’s functionality.

Supported Platforms

The ‘Company Knowledge’ feature currently integrates with the following platforms:
