More Integrations on the Way
There are suggestions that OpenAI plans to expand ChatGPT Connectors. In the future, the feature may support Microsoft SharePoint and Box. This will help even more businesses integrate AI into their workflow.
OpenAI’s Enterprise Growth
ChatGPT Connectors come at a time when OpenAI’s business adoption is rising. In February, reports showed OpenAI had 2 million paying enterprise users. That’s twice the number from five months ago.
OpenAI’s Chief Operating Officer, Brad Lightcap, credits this growth to consumer familiarity with ChatGPT. “We get a lot of benefits and a tailwind from the organic consumer adoption where people already have familiarity with the product. There’s really healthy growth on a different curve,” Lightcap said.
