ChatGPT can now read your Google Drive and Dropbox
Hayden Field is The Verge's senior AI reporter. An AI beat reporter for more than five years, her work has also appeared in CNBC, MIT Technology Review, Wired UK, and other outlets. ChatGPT users can now use "record mode" to take notes on meetings, brainstorming sessions, or thinking-out-loud soliloquies, OpenAI announced Wednesday. ChatGPT can also now connect to Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Sharepoint, and OneDrive, and users can query it for answers about their stored spreadsheets and documents -- like "What was my company's revenue in Q1 last year?" or "Tell me how many times I took the ferry on my Italy trip last year." "ChatGPT will structure and clearly present the data - and respect your organization's existing permissions on the user level - from those documents, with citations," the company wrote in a release. The recording feature is currently only available for ChatGPT Team users (a subscription plan that will set you back $25 per person per month with an annual subscription of 2+ users). The notes and transcriptions include timestamped citations and action items. Connections to third-party storage services are available for users of ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, or Edu, OpenAI's student-focused offering. The new features are part of OpenAI's push to corner the market on enterprise AI clients, which are big spenders. It launched ChatGPT Enterprise in 2023, less than a year after the launch of ChatGPT, with clients including Block, Canva, The Estée Lauder Companies, and PwC. Then it followed up with the launch of ChatGPT Team, an option for smaller companies or teams, in January 2024. OpenAI now has 3 million "paying business users," up from 2 million in February. The company is competing directly with tech giants and startups alike for high-paying enterprise AI clients. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Anthropic are all chasing the same type of business and racing to roll out generative AI features for them, in an industry-wide AI arms race that's predicted to surpass $1 trillion in revenue in less than seven years.

ChatGPT can record, transcribe, and analyze your meetings now
OpenAI may have just killed transcription services such as Otter.ai. Many working professionals and businesses worldwide have found ways to optimize their workflows through the implementation of ChatGPT. To build on that assistance, OpenAI is now allowing users to connect ChatGPT to more internal sources, enabling the answers provided to be even more personalized and grounded in user data. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, ZDNET's parent company, filed an April 2025 lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.) On Wednesday, OpenAI announced several upgrades to ChatGPT, gearing it more toward professionals' workflows. Two of those upgrades are Connectors and Record Mode. Both features give ChatGPT more access to your everyday tasks for added assistance opportunities -- even allowing it to transcribe your meetings. AI tools are only as helpful as the data that they are provided with. While ChatGPT is a powerful service that can help with writing, reasoning, and more, it still requires a lot of explanation and context so it can get you the ideal answers. The Connectors feature seeks to fix that by allowing users to connect it to more tools that hold your everyday data, such as your email or cloud storage provider. Also: ChatGPT free users finally have access to this really helpful feature The Connectors feature is available in Deep Research for all paid subscribers, including Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise & Edu users, include Outlook, Teams, Google Drive, Gmail, and Linear. Organizations using ChatGPT, including Team, Enterprise, and Edu subscribers, also get access to additional connectors, including SharePoint, Dropbox, and Box. Deep Research refers to the ChatGPT AI agent that can independently conduct multi-step research for you by pulling a robust amount of information from the web and synthesizing those sources in a comprehensive report. In the demo, the user was able to toggle down to select which sources they wanted included in the answer, and the report cited them. Because this suite of Connectors is expansive but does not cover every possible use case, OpenAI is also allowing workspace admins to build their own custom Deep Research Connectors using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in beta. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard, developed by Anthropic, for connecting AI assistants and agents to data systems seamlessly and securely. With this update, MCP will allow Workspace admins to connect proprietary systems and other apps to ChatGPT's offerings, according to OpenAI. This will create an experience in which users can easily search and reason with their proprietary system, as well as leverage web results and other connectors already existing on the platform. The beta is only available to Team, Enterprise, and Edu admins, and Pro users starting Wednesday. During the live stream, the company clarified that the user's data will remain secure, as the company never trains on Teams, Enterprise, and Edu data by default, including connected data. There are also a series of other safeguards in place. For example, users would only be able to access the data they have been explicitly granted within their organization. Anthropic just made its counterpart, Integrations, available to Claude Pro users for $20 per month on Tuesday. Similarly, this service allows developers to build MCP-compliant applications using Claude's assistance and enables users to connect those applications to Claude. A new Record Mode is also being rolled out to Team users on MacOS. With this feature, ChatGPT can capture any meeting or voice note, transcribe it, identify key points, and take follow-up actions. One of the most interesting elements of this feature shown in the demo is that you could ask ChatGPT a question about the meeting in the future, and then it could use the context from the transcripts to answer the question. Also: OpenAI wants ChatGPT to be your 'super assistant' - what that means Although it is only available to Team users now, it will soon be available to Plus, Pro, Enterprise, and Edu users. If you want to try it now, you can for just $1 as part of a welcome offer, and that grants you up to five seats. After the first month, it will cost $30 per month. This feature is bound to shake up the market as current AI tools, such as Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai, offer the same tools but require a subscription for this level of assistance. Now, ChatGPT Plus users will get even more for their $20 per month, making the subscription increasingly enticing compared to the Otter.ai subscription, which is $17 per month on its own and has none of ChatGPT's other AI capabilities, such as image generating, coding, and writing assistance. Lastly, OpenAI launched a flexible pricing feature, adding credits to all of the existing workspaces in Enterprise and Teams. This means that users of those plans will have full access to advanced features and models rolling out with existing plans. It is rolling out to Enterprise first, and Teams in the upcoming weeks.

ChatGPT now integrates with Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, and OneDrive
Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. ChatGPT is taking another step into the workplace with new features aimed at enterprise users. It can now connect directly to cloud storage services like Google Drive and Dropbox, enabling users to pull from documents, spreadsheets, and files to answer questions and generate reports. The update also adds support for Box, SharePoint, and OneDrive, allowing users to search across multiple cloud platforms from a single interface. The Verge notes that users can ask ChatGPT to summarize last quarter's sales figures from a spreadsheet in Google Drive or pull highlights from a presentation stored in Dropbox. The system respects existing organizational permissions, presents information clearly, and cites sources from within the connected services. OpenAI has also introduced "record mode," a feature that lets ChatGPT record, transcribe, and summarize meetings or brainstorming sessions. Available first to ChatGPT Team users on macOS, it turns spoken conversations into searchable, time-stamped transcripts with action items and summaries. Audio is deleted immediately after transcription, and transcripts follow the workspace's retention policies. Business customers are also gaining new research capabilities. ChatGPT now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets organizations link the assistant to a wide range of internal tools and databases without building custom integrations. With that expanded access, ChatGPT can tackle more complex research tasks, such as generating detailed reports that draw on both internal data and online sources. OpenAI provides MCP support for Pro, Team, and Enterprise subscriptions. This feature rollout comes amid rapid growth in OpenAI's business offerings. The company now has three million paying business users across its ChatGPT Enterprise, Team, and Education plans, up from two million in February. Companies across finance, healthcare, and retail - including Lowe's, Morgan Stanley, and Uber - have adopted OpenAI's business solutions. "There's this really tight interconnect between the growth of ChatGPT as a consumer tool and its adoption in the enterprise and in businesses," OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap told CNBC. The new features put ChatGPT in direct competition with workplace AI tools from tech giants and startups alike, including Google, Microsoft, Notion, and Zoom - each racing to add generative AI to their productivity suites. With an expanding set of integrations and a rapidly growing user base, OpenAI seems intent on securing a lead in the enterprise AI market.

ChatGPT Now Integrates with Dropbox, Google Drive for Business
OpenAI has announced some new productivity features for ChatGPT, adding direct integration with major cloud storage services and introducing meeting recording capabilities for business users. The AI chatbot can now connect to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and SharePoint, allowing users to query information directly from their stored documents and files. Use case examples include a financial analyst asking ChatGPT to pull data from company reports to generate investment insights, or a marketing professional analyzing product presentations without leaving the ChatGPT interface. OpenAI says the cloud integrations respect existing organizational access controls, so ChatGPT can only access documents it is authorized to view. The company says that data accessed through these connectors won't be used to train its models for Team, Enterprise, and Education customers. Alongside cloud connectivity, ChatGPT is also introducing "record mode" for meeting transcription and note-taking. Initially available to Team users on macOS, the feature captures audio and generates structured notes complete with summaries, key points, action items, and time-stamped citations. Unlike competing solutions from Zoom or Notion that require bot participation, ChatGPT's recording tool simply listens through the device microphone. Users can then convert action items into Canvas documents for follow-up work. The update also includes "deep research connectors" in beta, which links ChatGPT to external platforms like HubSpot and Linear through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This enables autonomous research combining internal company data with web information to produce comprehensive reports. The cloud connectors are available to all paid ChatGPT users, while MCP support is available to Pro, Team, and Enterprise subscribers.

ChatGPT can now listen in to your work calls, connect to your company Google Drive and much more
New Record Mode can listen in to your calls and offer suggestions and actions OpenAI has revealed a range of new expansions for ChatGPT as it looks to increasingly target business users. The AI chatbot will now be able to integrate with a number of widely-used business software tools, including the likes of cloud storage and collaboration tools such as Dropbox, Box, Sharepoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive. These new "connectors" will allow users on ChatGPT business tiers to quickly find the data and information they need without leaving the platform, boosting productivity and saving time at work. The company says connectors will help workers get quicker access to their company's key data, for example, a researcher could use the Box connector to request quarterly sales metrics from PDFs or spreadsheets stored in Box, which ChatGPT will then structure and clearly present the data from those documents, with citations, all while keeping to your organizations' existing permissions. Along with connectors, a new Record mode in ChatGPT allows users to record and transcribe meetings or brainstorming sessions, with the tool also able to automatically generate notes, provide timestamped citations, and offer AI-powered suggestions. The feature will integrate with your existing documents and saved files, making it easier to find out who suggested past decisions, or create follow-up actions, with sessions able to be transformed into actionable items such as a Canvas document. And alongside basic connectors, ChatGPT is also seeing the beta launch of deep research connectors. Available now with Github, HubSpot, Linear, as well as many popular Microsoft and Google tools, these tools are able to carry out in-depth research by trawling the web and third-party tools, so users can combine external data with company insights to produce a more comprehensive set of findings similar to a research analyst's report. The launch comes as ChatGPT announces it now has over three million paying customers - an increase from two million just four months ago. OpenAI now hopes these new connectors will help boost adoption even further, with demand for AI tools growing in industries across the world. "Every organization holds vast knowledge, but it's often trapped in silos: sales teams have customer insights, product teams hold market data, and engineering holds technical expertise," Open AI said in its release. "Our goal is to evolve ChatGPT into a platform that unlocks your organization's entire knowledge base -- enabling each employee to continuously leverage this knowledge." The new connector tools will be available across the ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Team and ChatGPT Edu tiers now at no extra cost - however Record Mode will only be available for Team users for the time being.

OpenAI gives ChatGPT access to cloud-based documents and third-party research tools - SiliconANGLE
OpenAI gives ChatGPT access to cloud-based documents and third-party research tools Another day brings another new update to OpenAI's ChatGPT, which is getting a host of new capabilities for business users, including connectors for cloud services such as Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and SharePoint. In addition, OpenAI also announced that its chatbot is getting the ability to record business meetings and support for Model Context Protocol connections, enabling ChatGPT to use external tools to aid in deep research. The new additions come just one day after OpenAI revealed a number of new features for developers, including new capabilities for ChatGPT's Codex coding tool, which can create fresh code and edit existing code from natural language prompts. Today, OpenAI said it's focused on making ChatGPT even better for office workers rather than devs, with the new connectors enabling it to search for information across some of their most commonly-used cloud services. For instance, a financial analyst can now ask ChatGPT to access the company's financial reports and accounting files stored in Dropbox to answer any questions they have. Meanwhile, a marketing professional might use it to generate insights based on a product presentation via Box or Google Drive. OpenAI said the connectors will follow the organization's policies around access control to ensure that users can only gather insights or get answers from documents and files they're allowed to open. A second update sees ChatGPT gain the ability to record and transcribe meetings, the company said. It explained that the chatbot will be able to generate notes about the meeting, with time-stamped citations, so users can check to see exactly what was said. It will also be able to suggest actions based on whatever was discussed during the meeting, as it can understand exactly what was said. It will work in tandem with the new connectors, too. Users could query their meeting notes, and ChatGPT would be able to look up any relevant information held in Box or another service to provide more insights. Users will also be able to convert action items into a Canvas document, which is OpenAI's tool for coding and writing projects. With the new feature, OpenAI is going head-to-head with the likes of Zoom Video Communications Inc., ClickUp and Notion Labs Inc., which all offer similar transcription and meeting summary tools powered by artificial intelligence. The final update refers to new connectors that are meant to enhance ChatGPT's deep research capabilities, which were launched in February and enable users to generate comprehensive reports on a particular topic. This is an agentic AI capability, because ChatGPT performs the research autonomously, without any input or guidance from the user beyond the initial prompt. The new connectors leverage the MCP protocol, which provides a standardized way for AI agents to use third-party tools. Previously, ChatGPT could only perform research using a web browser, but OpenAI said it can now use select tools from Google LLC and Microsoft Corp., as well as HubSpot and Linear, to aid in its research efforts. ChatGPT Pro, Team and Enterprise subscribers will also be able to use MCP to connect to additional tools for research purposes, the company said. Today's updates suggest OpenAI is stepping up its aggressive push to get businesses to use ChatGPT in even more scenarios than they do already, and there's every reason to believe it can succeed in that endeavor, given its traction so far. The company said today that it now has more than three million subscribers to its enterprise products, up from the two million reported by Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap in February.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Now Has a Record Mode and Can Connect to Gmail, Outlook
OpenAI released two new utility features for ChatGPT users on Wednesday. The artificial intelligence (AI) app on MacOS now has a Record Mode that can capture meetings, brainstorming sessions, and voice notes, and transcribe and summarise the main discussion points. This feature is currently only available to the ChatGPT Team subscribers. Additionally, the San Francisco-based AI firm is also introducing Connectors, which is a tool that lets the chatbot connect to the user's internal cloud-based data sources such as Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, and more. In a series of posts on X (formerly known as Twitter), the official handle of OpenAI announced the new ChatGPT features. The company also hosted a live stream on YouTube to provide a demonstration of these business-focused features. Both of these features are exclusive to the company's paid subscribers, however, the Record Mode is only aimed at the Team users. Additionally, Record Mode is not available in the European Economic Area (EEA), China, and the UK. Record Mode is a new capability available on ChatGPT's macOS desktop app. Team users can now tap the new Record button at the bottom of any chat. Once the user has given permission for microphone, the chatbot will begin capturing the meeting. It can also record voice notes. Once the session has ended, it can provide an editable summary of the conversation as well as its recording. OpenAI says users will be able to search for past meetings, references to them during conversations, and bring relevant context. The transcripts of the meetings also get saved as a canvas in the user's chat history. This transcript can also be rewritten as an email, project plans, or code scaffold. Notably, the tool can record up to 120 minutes per session. Separately, the AI firm also released Connectors. The tool allows ChatGPT to connect to third-party internal data sources and retrieve information in real-time. The feature works with Outlook, Teams, Google Drive, Gmail, Linear, and more. The Team, Enterprise, and Edu subscribers can also connect to SharePoint, DropBox, and Box. Connectors will only work when using Deep Research. OpenAI is also letting workspace admins build custom Deep Research Connectors using Model Context Protocol (MCP) in beta.
