ChatGPT Now Connects to SharePoint for Enhanced Deep Research
OpenAI has launched a new feature for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, and Team users, enabling seamless integration with SharePoint for deep research. This new SharePoint Connector, now in beta, allows ChatGPT to access and synthesize information across multiple SharePoint sites, offering users more efficient access to their organization’s knowledge.
What is the ChatGPT SharePoint Connector?
The ChatGPT SharePoint Connector is designed to help teams break down silos, streamline information retrieval, and leverage existing organizational data without wasting time searching across multiple sources. This feature is part of ChatGPT’s deep research capabilities, which can read, reason over, and cite data directly from your SharePoint repositories.
Key Use Cases of the ChatGPT SharePoint Connector
With the SharePoint Connector, users can accomplish tasks such as:
- Strategic Summarization: Summarize a company’s strategy across departments like Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Product.
- Customer Insights: Build account briefs using internal notes and public data, ensuring a comprehensive view of customer information.
- Bug Management: Identify related GitHub issues based on bug bash notes in SharePoint and suggest next steps for resolution.
How the SharePoint Connector Respects Privacy and Security
OpenAI has emphasized that ChatGPT respects your organization’s permissions—users only see data they already have access to within SharePoint. Additionally, by default, OpenAI does not train on data from its business products, ensuring privacy and compliance with organizational policies.
How to Enable the SharePoint Connector in ChatGPT
To start using the SharePoint Connector for deep research:
- Go to Settings > Connected Apps in ChatGPT.
- Select SharePoint Connector and follow the setup instructions.
What’s Next for ChatGPT’s SharePoint Integration?
Currently available for Plus, Pro, and Team users, the SharePoint Connector will soon be expanded to Enterprise users. This feature is part of OpenAI’s ongoing effort to make ChatGPT more adaptable and valuable in workplace settings.
