ChatGPT rolls out recording and integrations with GDrive, Outlook, and more

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT's productivity capabilities with a suite of new features. The latest update introduces record mode, cloud drive integration, and deep research connectors, enabling users to access, analyse and manage content more efficiently. ChatGPT can now pull information from services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, and OneDrive, offering users access to internal documents and simplifying research and collaboration.
ChatGPT: Key features introduced in the latest update
Recording Mode
ChatGPT's new recording feature enables users to record and transcribe meetings. It generates time-stamped notes and can suggest follow-up actions. Users can search meeting notes in the same way they search documents and files from connected cloud services. Additionally, action items can be converted into Canvas documents—OpenAI's collaborative workspace for writing and coding.
ChatGPT now integrates directly with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, and SharePoint. Users can ask questions and ChatGPT will fetch relevant answers from their files saved in the listed cloud storage platforms.
OpenAI clarified that it does not use data from Teams, Edu, or Enterprise accounts—including connected files—for training. Responses from the assistant include citations and honour existing file permissions.
Deep research connectors
OpenAI is also rolling out beta research connectors for platforms like HubSpot, Linear, and select Microsoft and Google services. These allow users to compile research by combining internal data with web-sourced information. The feature is available to all paid users.
The list of supported platforms includes:
Box
Dropbox
GitHub
Gmail
Google Calendar
Google Drive (Docs, Sheets, Slides)
HubSpot
Linear
Outlook (Calendar, Email)
SharePoint
Teams
MCP support
OpenAI is also introducing support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Pro, Team, and Enterprise users. MCP enables ChatGPT to connect with external tools, further expanding its ability to deliver context-rich, tailored insights.

Representative Image Elon Musk the founder of xAI has said that he will retrain his artificial intelligence chatbot and ChatGPT rival Grok .

Elon Musk to retrain chatbot Grok In a series of posts shared on X, Elon Musk announced that the upcoming version of Grok likely to be called as Grok 4 will trained on the revised information curated by Grok 3.5's advanced reasoning capabilities. 'We will use Grok 3.5… to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors,' Musk wrote, adding that current AI models are trained on 'far too much garbage'. This move from Elon Musk comes after his repeated criticism of rival AI model — ChatGPT. Musk has criticised ChatGPT for what he perceives as a "woke mind virus" or ideological slant in their responses. Musk has also asked the users to submit their 'divisive facts' which will be used in the retraining of Grok. 'Please reply to this post with divisive facts for @Grok training.

AI meets adult content: THIS platform is a ‘lovechild between OnlyFans and OpenAI'

Ever since OpenAI introduced the general world to the many possibilities of artificial intelligence (AI), developers have been experimenting with ways the technology can change the overall user experience. In one such experiment, a start-up with over 2,00,000 users in the United States, brought together the endlessness of AI and fame, and merged it with the "spicy fantasies" of OnlyFans users. OhChat, a platform its creator described as the 'lovechild between OnlyFans and OpenAI,' uses artificial intelligence to build lifelike digital duplicates of public figures. These AI avatars of adult content celebrities don't eat, sleep or breathe, but 'remember you, desire you and never log off'. In an interview with CNN, OhChat CEO Nic Young said goes a step further than platforms such as OnlyFans, where users pay to gain access to adult content from content creators. Once activated, the avatars run autonomously, offering 'infinite personalised content' for subscribers. OhChat 'is an incredibly powerful tool, and tools can be used however the human behind it wants to be used,' he said. 'We could use this in a really scary way, but we're using it in a really, I think, good, exciting way.' Young told CNN that OhChat works on a tiered subscription model wherein a user pays $4.99 ( ₹ 430) per month for unlimited texts on demand, $9.99 ( ₹ 865) for capped access to voice notes and images, or $29.99 ( ₹ 2,600) for unlimited VIP interaction. According to Young, platform creators receive an 80 per cent cut from the revenue their AI avatar generates. OhChat keeps the remaining 20 per cent. 'You have literally unlimited passive income without having to do anything again,' Young told CNN. Since launching OhChat in October 2024, the company has signed 20 creators, including 'Baywatch' actress Carmen Electra, and former British glamour model Katie Price – Jordan. Some of the creators are already earning thousands of dollars per month, Young said. Nic Young said that to build a digital twin, OhChat asks its creators to submit 30 images of themselves and speak to a bot for 30 minutes. The platform can then generate the digital replica 'within hours' using Meta's large language model. For example, the AI avatar of Jordan is trained to mimic her voice, appearance and mannerisms. She can 'sext' users, send voice notes and images, and provide on-demand intimacy at scale – all without her lifting a finger. The platform was categorised with their AI avatars on an internal scale to rank the intensity and explicitness of their interactions. Creators contributing to the platform decide which level their avatar will be.

Perplexity's AI chatbot can now generate videos on X: Here's how to use it

AI search startup Perplexity has upgraded its chatbot on X (formerly Twitter) with a new feature that has flooded the Elon Musk-owned platform with AI-generated visuals. The 'Ask Perplexity' bot on X can now generate short, eight-second video clips with sound using AI. Users simply have to tag @AskPerplexity along with a short prompt and in return, they will receive an AI-generated video with creative visuals and audio, including dialogue. While the new video generation feature may boost engagement for Perplexity's chatbot, it also raises concerns about the spread of misinformation on X, which is a platform that has already been strongly criticised for its lax content moderation. However, Perplexity has said that it has implemented strong content filters to prevent the misuse of the latest AI video generation feature. It also highlights the growing rivalry between AskPerplexity and Grok, developed by Elon Musk's xAI venture. They are two of the most popular automated accounts on X that are frequently tagged and asked questions in the replies. However, the Grok AI models do not yet have the ability to generate videos. Soon after Perplexity introduced the new AI feature, users on X began posting wildly imaginative, AI-generated videos depicting fictional scenarios involving real-life celebrities, politicians, and world leaders, etc. The surge in demand inevitably led to a delay in generating videos with the bot account stating that video generation could take longer than expected due to high traffic. 'I've read through your video request DMs. Some of y'all need help,' the AskPerplexity account posted on X. Perplexity has also been looking to make its AI chatbot more accessible by rolling out its services on WhatsApp. In April this year, Perplexity AI became available directly on the messaging platform, allowing users to access the AI-powered answer engine without downloading a separate app or signing up. Similar to Perplexity, users can also access ChatGPT on WhatsApp, along with the natively integrated Meta AI. To access Perplexity AI, save +1 (833) 436-3285 to your contact list and start asking questions or queries. Users can access Perplexity AI on smartphones, PCs, and Macs, as well as via WhatsApp Web. The Google rival has also been facing legal challenges from various publishers. Recently, BBC said it would take legal action against Perplexity for allegedly training its 'default AI model' using the UK broadcaster's content. In a letter addressed to Aravind Srinivas, the CEO of Perplexity, BBC said it may seek an injunction against it unless the AI firm stops scraping its content, deletes existing copies used to train its AI systems, and submits 'a proposal for financial compensation' for the alleged misuse of its intellectual property, according to a report by Reuters. In response, Perplexity said BBC's claims were 'manipulative and opportunistic'. It added that the publisher had 'a fundamental misunderstanding of technology, the internet and intellectual property law.'
