Apps

Apps let ChatGPT access your third-party tools like Google Drive, SharePoint, or GitHub so you can bring your work into the conversation. Search files, pull data, and generate insights from your organization’s data and content. Check out available apps here.

Why is useful at work 

Apps bring the knowledge you need into ChatGPT, without leaving your workflow. This saves time, reduces context switching, and makes everyday tasks more efficient. With access to your internal context, ChatGPT can provide responses that reflect how your organization works.

Getting started 

  1. Go to Settings → Apps
  1. Click Connect next to your app.
  1. Complete the authentication and permissions flow.
  1. The app now appears in Tools during chats.
Note: Your organization’s admin controls which apps are available to you. If you don’t see the option to connect an app, check with your admin. As with all business data on your ChatGPT Enterprise or ChatGPT Business workspace, data accessed through apps is not used to train OpenAI models by default.
