A few weeks ago, OpenAI introduced a new feature for ChatGPT called Connectors. It’s essentially a way for the chatbot to work with all sorts of third-party apps and data sources to pull in more information while answering user prompts.
The feature is exciting because it lets ChatGPT work with more third-party apps that store some of our personal data. Imagine asking ChatGPT to search your Gmail account for everything related to a family holiday you’re planning. That’s the kind of functionality Gemini offers, since Google owns Gmail.
Other chatbots will need similar access to deliver more personal experiences. That’s really the whole point of letting ChatGPT pull data from other services. OpenAI wants to give users a super-assistant ChatGPT experience where the AI knows everything about you. It’s the kind of thing I expect from the ChatGPT io hardware device that OpenAI might launch late next year.
To get there, we need Connectors in ChatGPT. The good news is that OpenAI is expanding access. The bad news is that it’ll cost more. The latest expansion doesn’t include ChatGPT Free or ChatGPT Plus users.
