OpenAi to start testing chatgpt connectors for Google Drive and Slack
OPENAI will soon start testing a way for commercial customers to connect applications like Slack and Google Drive to Cat.
OPENAI plans to start the beta version of a new feature called chatgpt connectors, according to a document targeted by Techcrunch. Chatppt connectors will authorize Chatppt team Subscribers to link Google Drive and Slack accounts for the workplace for chatgpt so that the chatbot can answer questions informed by files, presentations, calculation sheets and soft conversations on these accounts.
OPENAI plans to extend chatgpt connectors to other platforms, such as Microsoft SharePoint and Box, in the future, according to the document.
“This will allow employees using Chatgpt to easily use internal information similar to the way they can use global knowledge via web search,” reads the document.
Chatgpt Connectors is OpenAi’s last attempt to make chatgpt an essential part of business software kits. While some companies have Reservations expressed About allowing Chatgpt to access sensitive commercial information, Others have embraced technology With open arms.
Chatppt connectors could convince the managers of the Société to modify their position – and present a great challenge to the company research platforms fueled by AI as Glean.
Chatgpt connectors, which are launched in beta for users of the Chatgpt team, is powered by an OpenAi version GPT-4O model that can refine its responses according to “internal [company] knowledge “, according to the document. All users in a working team work team have access to the model via OPENAI Chatgpt applications.
The Personalized GPT-4O model Search and “bed” of internal information possibly relevant for a request. To create a search index, Openai synchronizes a encrypted copy of the company files and conversations on the chatgpt servers, according to the document.
“Additional related information which [sic] The model did not use directly is accessible by clicking on the Sources button at the bottom of each response, ”says the document. “If necessary, the model will respond directly with a list of relevant results.”
Perhaps to guarantee customers that Chatgpt will not run their private data, the document emphasizes that Slack and Google Drive The authorizations are “fully respected” and “constantly maintained”. For example, the chatgpt connector synchronizes adhesions to SLACK private channels and reader file authorizations as well as directory information.
Employees will not be able to discover content via chatgpt that they cannot access in Google Drive or Slack, according to the OpenAi document, and administrators will have the possibility of choosing the Slack chains and Google Drive files. As a slight drawback, employees could obtain “significantly different” answers to the same Chatgpt guests, Openai said in the document.
There are also technical limits to what the chatgpt connector can also access.
Images in Google Drive files (for example Google Docs, Google Slides, PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Gross Text Documents) are not supported, according to the document, which noted that the Chatgpt connector can only “read” – and not analyze – data in the sheets and manuals to excel. The chatgpt connector cannot recover Slack DMS or group messages, and it will ignore Slack Bots messages.
Companies wishing to participate in the Chatgpt BETA connector are invited to provide OPENAI 100 documents, calculation sheets, presentations and / or conversations of SLACK channels. The company has declared in the document that it will not train directly on information, but could use it “as an input for the generation of synthetic data” which could be used in its training.
“No synchronized data from Google Drive or Slack will be used for training,” said the document.
OPENAI did not respond to several requests for comments.
