It’s not the long-awaited o3 Pro, nor is there any new model that has exploded overnight.

Just now, OpenAI released two new features of ChatGPT: "Connectors" and "Record Mode", focusing on how to make ChatGPT truly integrated into the daily life of the enterprise and participate in the workflow:

Connectors: Combined with the in-depth research function, ChatGPT can connect to various tools and document libraries in the company, helping you search for information, analyze data, and organize it into solutions in just one sentence.

Recording mode: During a meeting, just click a button and ChatGPT will automatically record, take notes, and organize the key points, and generate meeting minutes directly after the meeting.

ChatGPT is not just an AI that can chat, but is expected to become the "second brain" of many workers and truly participate in every aspect of workplace collaboration.

Enterprise knowledge, ready to use

Enterprises have knowledge, and ChatGPT must also have capabilities. OpenAI's idea is to enable ChatGPT to access the internal knowledge system of enterprises.

Combined with the in-depth research function, the newly released "Connector" function will be able to connect multiple commonly used enterprise platforms such as GitHub, Google Drive, SharePoint, Teams, Dropbox, Outlook, etc., to achieve seamless connection.

With just one sentence, users can initiate data queries across multiple systems, such as finding potential partners, screening high-intent customers, sorting out sales opportunities, and even analyzing user feedback. All of this is completed within a few minutes and organized into clear execution suggestions.

For example, in a live demonstration held in the early morning, if a product manager wants to know the product's daily active users (DAU) and user feedback, he only needs to hand it over to ChatGPT. The model can automatically retrieve the data, summarize the pain points, and arrange them by priority, directly turning them into a quarterly planning document.

During the entire process, ChatGPT will follow the company's internal permission system and only call documents and materials that users have access to, ensuring data privacy and security.

In addition, OpenAI also announced that users can use MCP (Model Context Protocol) to connect other deep research tools. Enterprises can integrate their own tools and private databases into ChatGPT's cognitive system, allowing ChatGPT to better understand your organization, business, and processes, and truly realize the role of "enterprise brain".

In addition, this entrance will also be open to Pro users , so not only large companies but also individual developers can use this system.

OpenAI said that the connector function has entered the testing phase and will be launched first in the enterprise version, team version and education version. It also promised not to use user data for model training.

"Record Mode" is now online, bringing workers one step closer to meeting freedom

At the same time, OpenAI also launched an important feature regarding meeting records: "Record Mode".

Its functional logic is not complicated. Open the desktop version of ChatGPT and click a button, and AI can automatically complete recording, transcription, summarization, and generate structured output during the meeting.

Furthermore, users can not only search for key content in the summary, but also accurately locate the corresponding original speech clips.

Through natural language questions, ChatGPT also supports cross-conference retrieval and organization of information, such as summarizing the technical limitations discussed in the Q3 meeting, or drafting a third quarter roadmap report, etc., which greatly improves the meeting efficiency of workers in the workplace.

OpenAI said that the launch of this feature is aimed at solving the pain point that meeting content is often "forgotten after it is said".

In the words of the OpenAI product team, ChatGPT can act as your meeting assistant and knowledge recorder, allowing the team to focus on thinking instead of taking notes.

To meet the diverse needs of corporate customers, OpenAI also adjusted the billing mechanism of ChatGPT and announced additional usage quotas for all enterprise and team edition workspaces, allowing users to experience the latest model capabilities without paying extra.

According to foreign media CNBC, the number of OpenAI's paid corporate users has exceeded 3 million , a rapid increase from the 2 million users announced in February this year. This data covers ChatGPT's enterprise version, team version, and education version customers.

According to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI's expected revenue this year has reached $12.7 billion. In contrast, according to financial forecasts in September last year, the company had expected to lose up to $5 billion for the full year on revenue of $3.7 billion.

“There’s a very tight correlation between the growth of ChatGPT as a consumer tool and its adoption in the enterprise and commercial space,” OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap said in an interview.

If ChatGPT in the past was like a smart AI "co-pilot" standing by, now it is becoming the always-online work partner in your team.

Being able to read, remember, and write, and beginning to understand a little about the business, from the current perspective, this is also a more lightweight and visually appealing way to implement AI.
