ChatGPT Integrates Meeting Recording and Connectors for Enhanced Business Productivity

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is expanding its capabilities for business users with new features designed to streamline workflows and enhance productivity. These updates include integrations with popular cloud services, meeting recording functionalities, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection support for in-depth research.

A key addition is the introduction of connectors for major cloud storage platforms such as Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Google Drive. This integration allows ChatGPT to access and analyze information directly from users’ existing cloud environments, enabling more efficient and comprehensive responses. For example, analysts can now leverage company slide decks and documents stored in these services to develop well-informed investment strategies.

OpenAI emphasizes that these new features will adhere to an organization’s established access control hierarchies, ensuring data security and compliance.

Meeting recording and transcription, now a standard feature in many productivity suites, is also being incorporated into ChatGPT. This feature automatically generates time-stamped notes and suggests actionable items. Users can query meeting content similarly to how they interact with documents and files, facilitating efficient information retrieval. Furthermore, action items can be converted into a Canvas document, OpenAI’s tool designed for writing and coding projects, enhancing project management capabilities.

This update positions ChatGPT to compete with tools like ClickUp, Zoom, and Notion, which have recently added transcription and meeting summarization features to their platforms.

In addition to cloud storage and meeting tools, OpenAI is introducing deep research connectors for HubSpot, Linear, and select Microsoft and Google tools in beta. These connectors enable users to generate detailed research reports by leveraging knowledge and data from these sources, combined with information available on the web. OpenAI has confirmed that these connectors are available to all paid users.

For advanced users, MCP support will be available to Pro, Team, and Enterprise users, allowing them to connect to other tools for in-depth research and analysis.

These new features underscore OpenAI’s commitment to expanding ChatGPT’s role within enterprise workspaces. With a growing user base, including three million customers already subscribing to enterprise-focused products, OpenAI is poised to further solidify its position in the AI-powered business solutions market. This is a significant increase from the two million reported by OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap in February, highlighting the rapid adoption of ChatGPT in professional settings.
