The ChatGPT update saga continues — on Thursday, OpenAI announced a new feature to the signature large language model (LLM) chatbot. The ChatGPT will now let users import files directly from external cloud drives including Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. This update will help users let go of the pressure to download files to your desktop and then upload it to ChatGPT. This allows ChatGPT to understand your Google Sheets, Docs, Slides, and Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint files more quickly.
The company also stated that this capability is only available for the subscribers to ChatGPT Plus, Team and Enterprise users. All paying users including GPT 4o and older models will be able to access this feature.
How to import files from an external drive?
On the left side of the bar, where you write prompts, there is a paperclip sin which signifies attachment. Clicking on it will open up a list of options asking you to choose between ‘onnect to Google Drive’, ‘Connect to Microsoft OneDrive’, or ‘Upload from the computer’.
In the video, published by ChatGPT to show how this feature works, it was indicated that the user will need a go-head from the respective profiles. Once the access is granted, the user will be able to select a range of files and documents to import directly.
“You can now customize and interact with bar, line, pie, and scatter plot charts in the conversation. Hover over chart elements, ask additional questions, or select colors. When ready, download to use in presentations or documents,” as stated by OpenAI.
As with any feature in ChatGPT, trust and data privacy are at the core of OpenAI’s mission, claims the company. It added, “We don’t train on data from ChatGPT Team and Enterprise customers, and ChatGPT Plus users can opt out of training through their Data Controls.”
Latest ChatGPT updates
Other than the direct import, OpenAI is powering up with several other updates. On the same day, Reddit also announced a new partnership with OpenAI to integrate its content with ChatGPT. This collaboration is an indication of Reddit’s efforts to diversify its revenue streams beyond advertising.
OpenAI is boasting about the latest GPT version, GPT 4o. This flagship model was announced at the company’s Spring Updates event this week. GPT 4o offers the intelligence level of GPT 4 but with even more speed and efficiency. This version entails the capabilities across text, voice and vision platforms. Adding on, this version is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction.
Open AI is taking artificial intelligence to another level. With dedicated updates and improvement, the chatbot is growing day by day. While these updates are getting heavier day-by-day, it is interesting to see what happens next.
