The company has introduced a range of new workplace products within the ChatGPT platform to provide companies with more advanced AI-powered solutions. One of the key features is the introduction of connectors (beta), which are integrations designed to give workers immediate access to their company's collective knowledge and insights, thereby boosting their productivity and effectiveness.

With the new connectors feature, users can seamlessly integrate ChatGPT with platforms such as Dropbox, Box, Sharepoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive. This integration allows users to quickly retrieve specific data from these third-party tools without having to leave the ChatGPT interface.

For instance, a researcher could utilize the Box connector to efficiently extract quarterly sales data from PDFs or spreadsheets stored in Box. ChatGPT will then organize and present the data in a clear manner while adhering to the organization's existing user-level permissions and citations.
