More ways to work with your team and tools in ChatGPT

OpenAI rolled out shared projects for ChatGPT Business on September 25, 2025, and made them available for Enterprise and Edu plans. Shared projects support email or link invites, two access levels, and private project memory; Enterprise and Edu have them off by default under admin control. OpenAI also added Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, GitHub, Dropbox, and Box connectors, and said ChatGPT can now choose connectors automatically per prompt.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: shared projects, 8 connectors, and prompt-routed connector selection are concrete workflow changes with clear admin controls. I keep it below 85 because this is a collaboration-layer product update, not a model release or a broad capability jump.

Take

OpenAI is filling the gap between Slack, Notion, and Copilot with shared projects for ChatGPT Business, also available to Enterprise and Edu but off by default. The concrete hooks are two permission levels, private project memory, email/link invites, and connectors for Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, GitHub, Dropbox, and Box.

I don’t buy the “team collaboration” framing yet. Chat/edit access is too coarse when project memory can accumulate client details, files, and instructions. Enterprise buyers will ask about audit trails, retention, revocation, and cross-project leakage. ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 27701, plus expanded SOC 2, gets OpenAI through procurement, not into the workflow. The sharper move is automatic connector selection: once ChatGPT decides whether to query GitHub or email, it becomes an internal retrieval router, and security teams will treat that very differently from a chatbot.
