Work smarter with your company knowledge in ChatGPT

OpenAI has launched a new feature called "company knowledge" for ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu tiers, enabling the assistant to draw on information from connected business applications. According to OpenAI's blog, this allows users to get answers specific to their organization's context, with citations pointing back to the source material. The feature includes security, privacy, and admin controls, letting companies manage which data is accessible. For developers and solopreneurs building AI workflows, this update reduces the need to build custom retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines for internal knowledge bases if they already rely on ChatGPT. Instead of stitching together separate tools for document indexing and chat, teams can now leverage ChatGPT's existing interface with their own proprietary data. However, the limited availability—only to paid plans—means it primarily targets organizations already invested in the OpenAI ecosystem. This move signals OpenAI's push deeper into enterprise knowledge management, competing with dedicated enterprise search and AI assistants. For builders, it may simplify internal Q&A bots, though dependence on a single vendor remains a consideration.
