ChatGPT has reached a new milestone, with 3 million paying users in the enterprise sector. As the platform continues to expand its capabilities, it is now introducing new features such as meeting note-taking.
What's new in ChatGPT?
ChatGPT users can now use recording mode to take notes during meetings, brainstorming sessions, or even monologues where they're simply expressing their thoughts. OpenAI , the company behind ChatGPT, announced Wednesday that the tool can now connect to Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, and OneDrive , allowing users to access their stored documents and spreadsheets for answers.
Examples of questions you could ask ChatGPT include:
-
“What was my company’s revenue in the first quarter of last year?”
-
“How many times did I take the ferry on my trip to Italy last year?”
ChatGPT will clearly structure and present data , respecting your organization's existing user-level permissions, and citing sources directly from the documents, OpenAI said in a statement.
Accessibility of the new features
The recording feature is currently available only to ChatGPT Team users , a subscription plan that costs $25 per person per month , with an annual subscription discount for teams of two or more people. Notes and transcripts include timestamps and action items.
In addition, the ability to connect to third-party storage services is available to users of ChatGPT Team , Enterprise , and Edu , the student-focused option from OpenAI.
A focus on business customers
These new features are part of OpenAI's effort to dominate the enterprise AI market , a segment willing to invest large sums of money. In 2023, OpenAI launched ChatGPT Enterprise , less than a year after the initial release of ChatGPT, with clients such as Block, Canva, The Estée Lauder Companies , and PwC . Then, in January 2024, they launched ChatGPT Team , an option aimed at smaller companies or work teams.
Currently, OpenAI has 3 million paying users in the enterprise sector , an increase from the 2 million users registered in February of this year.
Competition in the race for enterprise artificial intelligence
OpenAI is competing directly with tech giants and startups to attract these high-spending enterprise clients . Google, Microsoft, Amazon , and Anthropic are also in the race to capture these customers in a generative AI innovation war that is projected to exceed $1 trillion in revenue in less than seven years.
