OpenAI makes data plugin for ChatGPT Work

OpenAI has launched a new data plugin for ChatGPT Work.

With it, you can connect your business data and ask ordinary questions, for example "how did sales go in August," and get answers and interactive dashboards back.

Getting insight from your own numbers no longer requires technical knowledge of databases or data analysis.

For companies, this means more employees can pull data themselves without waiting in line at IT or the analytics department.

Everyday personal AI use isn't affected: this is a tool for companies with their own data sources.

If you have ChatGPT Work and connected data sources, you can safely try the plugin the next time you need a quick overview. If you're a private user, you can safely skip this news.

What it means for you

If you use ChatGPT Work and your company has already connected its data sources, you can ask away in plain language the next time you need an overview, without waiting for IT or the analytics department. That makes it easier for more colleagues to get insight from the numbers in their daily work. If you're a private user, the news doesn't affect you, and you can safely skip it.
