OpenAI has unveiled a new feature on ChatGPT where users can directly upload files from their Google Drive or OneDrive. The feature is set to roll out to paying ChatGPT users in the coming weeks. It will save users the time and frustration of downloading files before uploading them to ChatGPT

Take-aways:

  • Painless Uploads: The new functionality allows users to avoid downloading files separately to use ChatGPT’s data analytics — they can now directly add files from Google Drive and OneDrive to ChatGPT. The convenience should be a welcome addition for users, particularly those frequently utilizing data analytics.
  • Better Analytics Capability: OpenAI has improved ChatGPT’s data analytics capability, making it possible for the chatbot to read through Excel, Word, PowerPoint files, and their Google equivalents more quickly.
  • Interactive Charts and Customization: ChatGPT now lets users interact with the tables and charts it creates. Users can expand the table’s view, customize data visualization like changing colors, and pose additional queries on cells.
