ChatGPT Business Release Notes

App Directory and Availability

You can now browse and add approved apps in the new app directory. Apps let you work with your tools and data directly inside a conversation—from interactive in-chat experiences to secure connections that allow ChatGPT to search and reference information from third-party services.

As part of this update, connectors now appear in the directory as apps, making it easier to manage all your tools in one place. References across the Help Center have been updated to reflect this new terminology.

For ChatGPT Business users, apps are enabled by default. Admins and owners can control which apps are available for their workspace and set which actions each app is allowed to take through workspace settings.

Apps are available to all logged-in ChatGPT users, with availability and functionality varying by plan and region. Some apps or capabilities may not be available in certain regions (including the EEA, GB, or Switzerland) or may require specific plan tiers.

Starting today, developers can submit apps for review and publication in the app directory, making approved apps available to a broader set of ChatGPT users.

Apps & connectors

We’ve refreshed the Apps & connectors section in Workspace settings for admins and owners with a clearer layout: tabs for Enabled, Available, and Draft; a streamlined list view; search and filters; and bulk actions like selecting multiple apps to manage roles or disable. Enabling actions, including sync where supported, now live directly in each connector’s listing.

Availability

Available to ChatGPT Business admins in Workspace settings. Note that Apps and connectors are enabled by default for Business plans. Read more about apps and connectors.

Atlassian Rovo MCP Connector

We’re adding Atlassian Rovo to our list of MCP connectors, which brings in your Jira, Compass, and Confluence information to bring relevant project context into your chats. This connector enables you to take supported write actions in Jira right from ChatGPT — such as creating issues and triggering workflows—based on what you request and on patterns identified in your project data. All actions are initiated, approved and completed directly in chat.

Admins can review actions and other basic information about the connectors in Workspace settings → App.

Users can add the Atlassian Rovo from Settings → Apps & Connectors.

The Atlassian Rovo connector is available to Enterprise, Edu, Business, Pro and Plus customers with connectors enabled for their workspace.

Release notes

We’re rolling out a new set of MCP access connectors built by partners and reviewed by OpenAI, including Amplitude, Fireflies, Vercel, Monday.com, Stripe, Hex, Egnyte, Alpaca, BioRender, Semrush, and Jam.dev. This is available to Enterprise, Edu, Business, Pro and Plus customers with connectors enabled for their workspace. These connectors expand the set of tools customers can bring into ChatGPT and will be followed by additional connectors on a rolling basis.

The connectors released today are access connectors, which fetch content when a user asks a question, built using MCP. Connectors remain default off for Enterprise plans, and default on for Business plans.

Admins can review Actions and other basic information about these connectors in Workspace settings / Apps.

Company knowledge and custom MCP connectors

Starting today, company knowledge will support custom MCP connectors with search/fetch functionality. Custom connectors fitting this criteria that are enabled for your organization will appear in the company knowledge experience for users that have enabled them for allowed users, giving your team a more complete, accurate, and company-specific context when using the feature.

Admins/owners can continue to manage access to custom connectors in Workspace settings.

ChatGPT Connectors in Business Workspaces

ChatGPT Business workspaces can now use ChatGPT connectors for Azure Boards, Basecamp, and Zoho CRM. These connectors deliver faster, higher-quality answers, especially for knowledge-heavy prompts like strategy summaries, policy lookups, and internal research.

For Business workspaces, connectors are enabled by default, though Admins and Owners can disable specific connectors at any time from their Workspace connectors settings. Individual users can connect enabled connectors they want to use from Settings > Apps & Connectors. Once enabled, ChatGPT will automatically reference the indexed content when relevant.

ChatGPT Business customers will now have access to ChatGPT apps

Apps include interactive interfaces – like presentations, maps, and playlists – that respond to natural language and adapt to your conversation. You can start with a bulleted outline and ask Canva to turn it into a professional presentation, or turn a rough sketch into a FigJam diagram—all without leaving ChatGPT.

Pilot partners

Our pilot partners—like Figma, Canva, Booking.com, Coursera, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow—will be available to Business customers in markets where their services are offered, starting in English, with more apps coming.

ChatGPT Connectors for Business Workspaces

ChatGPT Business workspaces can now use ChatGPT connectors for Aha!, Asana, ClickUp, GitLab Issues, Help Scout, Teamwork.com, and Zoho Desk. These connectors deliver faster, higher-quality answers–especially for knowledge-heavy prompts like strategy summaries, policy lookups, and internal research.

For Business workspaces, connectors are enabled by default—though Admins and Owners can disable specific connectors at any time from their Workspace connectors settings. Individual users can connect enabled connectors they want to use from Settings > Apps & Connectors. Once enabled, ChatGPT will automatically reference the indexed content when relevant.

Company knowledge

Company knowledge lets ChatGPT use your organization’s context from your connected apps to give answers specific to your company and projects, with clear citations and links back to the original sources. It works across supported connectors like Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, GitHub, HubSpot, Asana, and more, and respects each user’s existing permissions.

To get started, open a chat, select company knowledge under the message composer, and ask your question; ChatGPT will search your connected tools and show cited results. Learn more in our help center article on company knowledge for ChatGPT.

MCP support with developer mode

We’re rolling out full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support with developer mode so your organization can build, test, and publish MCP-powered connectors with read/write capabilities that let ChatGPT take action in your tools. Kick off workflows, create project management tasks, update your CRM, or combine connectors for more complex orchestrations.

Admins can review and publish connectors to the workspace. Build your own MCP connector, or upload trusted third party connectors.
