Now everyone can put data to work

Details

OpenAI announced the Data agent for ChatGPT Work, its enterprise subscription tier. The feature lets employees connect company data and ask questions in natural language to surface insights and generate interactive dashboards — tasks that previously required SQL skills or dedicated BI tools like Tableau or Looker. The announcement is intentionally high-level: the extracted content describes the capability without disclosing which data connectors are supported, how enterprise data security is handled, or whether the feature is included in existing ChatGPT Work pricing or costs extra. Strategically, this positions OpenAI more directly against Microsoft Copilot and Google Workspace AI on the enterprise analytics layer — both have invested heavily in natural-language data interfaces. The phrase ''now everyone'' in the title signals a push toward broad enterprise accessibility rather than a specialist data team feature. Adoption will depend on integration depth: whether the Data agent connects to real company systems such as Salesforce, Snowflake, or internal databases at a fidelity that business users actually trust for decisions.
