ChatGPT

App (ChatGPT)

A connection between ChatGPT and an outside service, like your email, files, or calendar, so it can read live information and, if you allow it, act there.

Connect, set permission, use You connect an app with your own account, choose how much it may do, then ChatGPT reads from it or acts there within that limit. Connect your own account Set permission Always ask first Read search, look up Act only as allowed Permissions never grant new access.

An app connects ChatGPT to a tool you already use. Once connected, ChatGPT can search and read there, bring live information into a chat, and, with permission, take actions like drafting an email or updating a record.

An app works as you: it signs in with your account and reaches only what you can already reach. For each app you choose a permission: Always ask, Allow read actions, Allow low-risk actions, or, for some apps, Allow all actions. On Business, admins decide which apps the workspace may use, and app data is not used for training by default.

Often confused with: A plugin. A plugin is a package that can contain apps and skills; an app is a single connection.
