OpenAI is connecting all company secrets to ChatGPT - all your work data and apps are now open (www.techradar.com)

OpenAI has introduced "company knowledge" for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu accounts, letting the assistant connect to internal tools like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive and GitHub so it can answer questions using your organization’s data. Powered by a reasoning-capable GPT-5 variant, the feature aggregates information across linked sources, cites origins for trust, and is accessed via a toggle/button in the composer. When enabled, OpenAI disables web access for that session to force source-backed responses; third‑party apps may still be referenced for quick snippets unless the toggle is used for deeper reports. OpenAI says it respects existing permissions and “never trains on your data by default,” and is continuing to refine the experience. For the AI/ML community this marks a meaningful push of retrieval‑augmented generation into enterprise workflows: models now act directly on live, heterogeneous company data to speed reporting, planning and research, potentially breaking down knowledge silos. That raises technical and governance questions—fine‑grained access control, provenance, auditability and risk of data exposure if connectors are misconfigured—while opening opportunities to study multi‑source reasoning, citation fidelity and secure on‑premises or private‑cloud integration patterns.
