OpenAI showcases plugins for ChatGPT Work
OpenAI developer relations team member Corey Ching demonstrated how ChatGPT Work can be integrated with essential workplace tools like email and calendars. By utilizing plugins, ChatGPT Work functions as a proactive assistant that can automate workflows, manage schedules, and process tasks across external productivity applications directly from the chat interface.
While connecting ChatGPT directly to workplace tools like email and calendar makes it a far more powerful assistant, it also raises significant security and compliance hurdles for enterprise IT departments.
- –Enabling direct actions in external apps shifts ChatGPT from a text generator to an active agent.
- –Securing sensitive data in emails and calendars will be a major barrier to widespread corporate adoption.
- –The success of these workflows depends on the reliability of the plugin ecosystem and the accuracy of tool-use execution.
