ChatGPT now connects to companies’ internal knowledge databases

OpenAI has introduced a new feature allowing ChatGPT Team users to connect their internal knowledge databases directly to the platform. According to reporting by Emilia David at VentureBeat, this long-requested capability is currently in beta. The feature enables semantic searches of company data, links to internal sources in responses, and helps ChatGPT understand company-specific terminology. Currently, administrators can connect Google Drive, with OpenAI product manager Nate Gonzales indicating more connectors are coming. The system respects existing permissions, ensuring users cannot access documents they’re not authorized to view. This enhancement addresses enterprise needs for more contextual AI responses and positions ChatGPT competitively in the growing enterprise search market, where companies like Glean and ServiceNow are also active.
