ChatGPT Updates: New Features for Business and Free Users
OpenAI is adding new features to its ChatGPT.
For businesses, there's a new record mode to record meetings and integrations with Google Drive and other services, helping with work.
Codex, which helps write code, can now use the internet but with strict controls.
Also, free users get a simpler version of the memory feature so ChatGPT remembers your conversations and gives better answers.
These updates make the AI more useful for work and everyday tasks.
ChatGPT is rolling out new enterprise-focused features, including meeting recording and cloud storage integrations.
A new record mode allows ChatGPT to capture and transcribe meetings for Team users on macOS, with wider availability soon.
