Description
ChatGPT Business is OpenAI’s secure, shared workspace plan for teams, giving every member access to ChatGPT Work, Codex, and a company’s connected tools with centralized billing and admin controls. It plugs into apps like Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, and Figma so teams can act on real company context instead of a blank chat window.
Key Features
- ChatGPT Work: Turns a stated goal into a finished deliverable by gathering context, planning, and completing the task.
- Codex: Implements features, fixes bugs, and prepares reviewed pull requests across a codebase.
- Connected apps: Links directly to Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Figma.
- Custom team agent plugins: Builds on a company’s own knowledge and shared team context.
- Admin console: Tracks usage, sets permissions, and manages spend across the workspace.
- No training on business data: Company content is not used to train OpenAI’s models by default.
How It Works
A team signs up starting at two seats, with each member getting access to ChatGPT’s chat, Work, and Codex modes across desktop, web, and mobile. Work mode takes a stated goal, gathers relevant context from connected tools, drafts a plan, and completes the task end to end, checking in only when approval is needed. Admins manage the workspace centrally — adding or removing seats, connecting company apps, and tracking spend and usage from one console — while SSO and MFA keep access secure.
Technical Architecture & Overview
- Core Engine: GPT-5.6 model family (Sol, Sol Pro, Terra, Luna) with flexible routing across chat, Work, and Codex.
- Deployment: Desktop, web, and mobile apps.
- API Surface: Connects to third-party tools like Microsoft 365, Google Drive, Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Figma; broader SCIM integration is Enterprise-only.
- Known Limits: SAML SSO, admin roles, and analytics dashboards are reserved for Enterprise; Business plans start at 2 users.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| One predictable bill covers chat, Work, and Codex for the whole team. | SAML SSO and role-based access controls are reserved for the Enterprise plan, not Business. |
| Connects directly to everyday tools like Microsoft 365, Slack, and GitHub instead of working in isolation. | Business plans require at least 2 users, so it isn’t built for a true solo user. |
| Company content is not used to train OpenAI’s models by default. | The lower monthly price requires annual billing; paying monthly costs more per seat. |
| Admins get centralized billing, usage analytics, and spend controls out of the box. | Data residency options are Enterprise-only, which matters for regulated industries. |
