ChatGPT integrates company knowledge from connected tools for smarter answers
ChatGPT now pulls data straight from the apps you already use, stitching together docs, files and messages into one place it can read when you ask a question. The headline says it plainly: “ChatGPT integrates company knowledge from connected tools for smarter answers.” In reality the service claims “a new way to bring together context from all your connected tools for answers that know your business.” The idea is simple, ChatGPT can field almost any query, but the details that matter at work usually live in internal repositories. By hooking those repositories up to the model, the tool can surface info that would otherwise need a manual hunt.
As the preview tagline puts it, “Work smarter with your company knowledge in ChatGPT.” The rollout hints at a move away from generic help toward replies that actually reflect the documents, files and messages that drive daily decisions. It’s still unclear how smooth the integration will feel, but the promise is obvious: fewer clicks, more relevant output, all inside the familiar ChatGPT interface.
Work smarter with your company knowledge in ChatGPT A new way to bring together context from all your connected tools for answers that know your business. ChatGPT can help with almost any question, but the context you need to get work done often lives in your internal tools: docs, files, messages, emails, tickets, and project trackers. Those tools don’t always connect to each other, and the most accurate answer is often spread across them.
Today we're introducing company knowledge for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Company knowledge brings all the context from your connected apps together in ChatGPT, giving you answers specific to your business—so you can make decisions, take action, and get things done. With company knowledge, the information in your connected apps—like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, and GitHub—becomes more useful and accessible.
It’s powered by a version of GPT‑5 that’s trained to look across multiple sources to give more comprehensive and accurate answers. Every response includes clear citations so you can see where the information came from and trust the results. For example, if you have an upcoming client call, ChatGPT can create a briefing for you based on recent messages from your account channel in Slack, key details from emails with your client, the last call notes in Google Docs, and any escalations from Intercom support tickets since your last meeting.
Starting today, anyone on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu can use company knowledge. Company knowledge respects your existing company permissions, so ChatGPT only has access to what each user is already authorized to view.
ChatGPT now reaches into a bunch of internal sources, documents, files, messages, emails, tickets, even project trackers, and stitches the results into one answer. The rollout is pitched as a way for companies to work smarter with their own knowledge, promising replies that actually reflect a business’s details. Still, the announcement is vague about how those connections are made, what security checks are in place, or whether latency will bite real-time queries.
It’s also not clear if the system can sort out contradictory data that lives in separate tools. The target seems to be firms that already juggle a patchwork of platforms, but we haven’t seen a checklist of what each integration will require. Without third-party testing, I’m not sure how much daily work will really change.
Teams will probably have to decide if the extra context is worth the setup effort. In short, the feature adds another layer to ChatGPT, but its usefulness will hinge on implementation details that are still pretty murky.
