More ways to work with your team and tools in ChatGPT

New shared projects, smarter connectors, and compliance and security updates help teams get more done.

Share

We want to help teams and organizations do their best work with ChatGPT. Today we’re rolling out shared projects for ChatGPT business⁠ plans; we’ve also recently added new connectors to team tools and improved response speed and accuracy, along with new compliance and admin features:

  • Shared projects help teams move faster: Teams can now work with ChatGPT toward a goal—whether supporting a customer account, creating content, or running monthly reports—while staying on the same page and keeping work consistent. Members can add files and instructions to a shared project together, and ChatGPT uses that context to tailor its responses so every new chat starts with the latest information.
  • More helpful responses from your team’s tools: With new connectors, ChatGPT can pull information from Gmail, Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, GitHub, Dropbox, and Box for more relevant answers based on your work. Responses are now faster and more accurate, and ChatGPT can decide when to use the right connector for each prompt.
  • Compliance and admin features keep work data secure: New ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701 certifications, an expanded SOC 2 report, role-based access controls, and enhanced SSO help organizations confidently enable every employee with AI.

Shared projects help teams get more done together

Last year we launched projects to keep related chats, files, and instructions in one place so you can pick up work where you left off without re-explaining context to ChatGPT. Now you can share projects with teammates, adding files and instructions together to guide ChatGPT responses toward a shared goal. Members can chat with the project’s context to stay on the same page as new information gets added and create work that stays consistent in tone and style.

Ways to use shared projects

In early testing, teams used them to coordinate:

  • Client work: Keep all notes, proposals, and contracts in one place so account teams can draft follow-ups faster and stay aligned. For example, as an account manager, you can upload call notes and your solutions engineer can ask ChatGPT to summarize the latest updates to prepare for a customer demo.
  • Content creation: Use project-wide instructions to maintain a consistent voice and style. You can, for instance, tell ChatGPT to follow your brand guidelines so project members can create on-brand assets, from blogs to social copy, for an upcoming product launch.
  • Reporting: Split tasks while staying coordinated with shared instructions and uploaded datasets. Teams preparing monthly reporting can prepare updates for different audiences, such as an executive summary or a more detailed breakdown for finance.

How it works

Project creators can invite teammates by email or link with two levels of access, chat or edit. Chat access lets members see and interact with the project’s chats, files, and instructions; edit access adds the ability to update instructions, upload or remove files, and invite others.

Shared projects have their own private memory, which lets ChatGPT remember details members share so you can start new conversations without explaining everything again. This is especially useful for long-running work with multiple follow-ups, and keeps sensitive data or client details safely within the project.

What’s next: In this first version, project members can work asynchronously, with the ability to build on each other’s updates, start their own one-on-one conversations with ChatGPT, or branch another member’s conversation to explore a new idea. This release is an early step toward team collaboration in ChatGPT, and we’ll use your feedback to shape what comes next.

Availability: Shared projects are available to Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans today, with Free, Go, Plus, and Pro coming soon. They are defaulted off for Enterprise and Edu customers, and admins can control access. Projects can only be shared with workspace members for ChatGPT business plans.

Smarter answers from your team’s tools

Teams generate large amounts of documents, chats, and emails, so finding the right information when you need it can be hard. With connectors, ChatGPT pulls in relevant context from tools your team uses every day, like Google Drive, SharePoint, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, or Gmail, so you can onboard to a new codebase, write a marketing brief using the latest template, or summarize important emails. It’s like working with a teammate who gets your work and can give expert answers on almost any topic.

Recent updates make connectors even more useful: responses are faster and more accurate and ChatGPT now knows when to use connectors automatically. New email and calendar connectors let you pull context from upcoming meetings and recent conversations so you can draft agendas, follow up on action items, or quickly find details without switching apps.

Ways to use connectors

How teams use connectors today:

  • Communication and writing: Draft updates, synthesize documents, or follow guidelines and templates (e.g., “Using our web template in Google Drive, create a brief for [x]”).
  • Meetings and collaboration: Prepare for meetings, create agendas, and identify action items (e.g., “Review my latest emails with [customer/company] to prep for our next call”).
  • Organization and productivity: Quickly find important documents or answers in company data (e.g., “How do I submit an expense report?”).
  • Analysis and reporting: Analyze data for market research or performance tracking (e.g., “Tell me which campaigns drove our highest-value deals in HubSpot”).
  • Coding and technical tasks: Understand codebases, review pull requests, or write documentation (e.g., “How is [feature] implemented in our codebase?”).
