Episode notes
Connectors Deliver RAG-Like Value Fast
- ChatGPT connectors give fast, secure access to your business data and mimic much of RAG's value at far lower cost and time.
- They transform ChatGPT into a grounded business assistant by reducing hallucinations and increasing accuracy.
Get Permission Before Connecting Accounts
- Always confirm you have permission before connecting company accounts to ChatGPT to avoid data exposure violations.
- Treat connectors like any third-party integration and check your organization's admin policies first.
Three Modes Shape Connector Behavior
- Connectors operate in chat, deep research, and synced modes offering instant lookups, multi-source synthesis, or indexed speed.
- Use the mode that matches your need: quick facts, deep analysis, or pre-indexed performance.
