Revolutionizing Workplace Information Access
OpenAI has introduced a major enhancement to ChatGPT that enables sophisticated searching across workplace data sources, according to reports from the company’s announcement. The new “company knowledge” feature, available for Business, Enterprise, and Education users, represents a significant advancement in how artificial intelligence can streamline workplace information retrieval.

GPT-5 Powered Search Capabilities
The update leverages a specialized version of GPT-5 technology specifically trained to connect with multiple workplace platforms simultaneously, sources indicate. This allows the chatbot to search across tools including Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, and GitHub without requiring users to switch between applications. The report states this builds upon beta features introduced in June 2025 and provides a more comprehensive experience than previous app connections.
Comprehensive Information Synthesis
Analysts suggest the technology represents a shift toward using AI as a conversational search engine for workplace data. “Every response includes clear citations so you can see where the information came from and trust the results,” OpenAI stated in its announcement. The company provided an example where ChatGPT could create a client briefing by synthesizing recent Slack messages, email details, Google Docs notes, and support ticket escalations automatically.
Handling Ambiguous Queries
The enhanced ChatGPT demonstrates particular strength in resolving ambiguous workplace questions, according to reports. When asked questions like “where did we land on company goals for next year?” the system reportedly runs multiple searches across different sources and viewpoints to resolve conflicting details. Sources indicate the tool employs date filters and can “think while it searches” to locate time-sensitive information effectively.
Competitive Landscape and Implementation
This development comes as competition in the enterprise AI space intensifies, with Anthropic launching a similar “Skills” tool for its Claude AI earlier this month. The report states that company knowledge must be manually selected when starting new conversations, and while enabled, ChatGPT cannot search the web or create visual content. Updates expected in the coming months are reportedly set to expand company knowledge support to other ChatGPT capabilities.
Strategic Implications for Businesses
The advancement represents OpenAI’s continued push into enterprise solutions, building on recent business plan updates. Industry observers suggest this positions ChatGPT as a comprehensive virtual assistant for workplace information management, potentially transforming how organizations access and utilize their collective knowledge across multiple platforms.
