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.

Would be nice to see some calculations about the actual economic gain using ChatGTP or similar.

Tested in an exam where students was supposed to be editors and collect text from various scientific sources. Those who wrote using AI got a the lowest possible passing grade. Those who wrote themself got D-A+. Since when was lowest passing grade sufficient in real life? I mean 50% correct on a task does not take you far. :)

ChatGPT has been life changing for me and has saved me hundreds of hours at work. Doing things that used to take hours takes seconds. I am certainly not important enough in life that my financial situation or much of anything else needs to be kept secret .

I bet, like many lawyers, you don’t check the accuracy of AI generated documents.

The progress is very rapid though. If the test is from half a year ago or a year ago or longer, it’s already obsolete.

Mine are not really legal documents. They are more busy work (reviews, memos to the field, process changes, etc) and I do read them all but there are not documents that are more than 10 pages. I do have to modify a word here and there.

Best of luck with this, early adopters. OpenAI has shown a deep and abiding respect for privacy and content ownership rights in the past, so please do upload those financial documents to its service and analyze away.

But you have no problem with Apple Intelligence right? I don’t trust Apple with privacy nor any company.

Jury is still out on Apple Intelligence as it doesn’t yet have an equivalent service, but OpenAI has previously shown contempt for the copyright and intellectual property rights of content creators, so they just don’t have the track record to be trusted with this kind of data access.

Yes I agree. It will be good when Apple Intelligence advances to the point where it's a threat, so we can be afraid of them, instead of this third party fear.

Not a traditional test but a report that require deep understanding of the subject area to chose the correct content. It is furthermore at the research edge that AI is poor to deal with without hallucinating.
 
Hey, wait... didn't I just read that ChatGPT was under a court order to keep records of essentially everything? Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I just read that on another website. Would that mean they now have to keep records of all the documents (including contents?) they analyze and all the meetings they record? Am I wrong about that aren't I? I really hope so?

That very conspicuously leaves out individual customers.

Wife is a defense attorney and loves it when the other side uses AI. It's often pretty easy to spot, and therefor debunk and make the prosecution look silly or inept.

She won't touch AI.

AI is a tool, not a virtual assistant, despite the hype. It will be a long time before a professional can trust AI chatbots as much as trusting a human, like a research assistant (or trusting your own research). Of course, there's a lot of investment in AI and part of recovering that investment means convincing people they can use AI as much as humanly possible. But anyone who has used AI for any period of time, knows the limitations.

But too many people jump from this to the equally extreme conclusion that AI is useless and shouldn't be used. It's not, it's a tool which can save you time and money, if you use it correctly and continue to use research (and human assistants) as part of your process. To suggest you're not going to touch AI is no better than insisting you wouldn't use Google 20 years ago, or the Internet before that. It's your loss. (Or your wife's). Eventually she will be using AI as part of her daily work, otherwise she will be at a disadvantage.
