ChatGPT connectors alternative
ChatGPT connectors or Chat with Work?
ChatGPT connectors are great when your team already works in ChatGPT. Chat with Work is for teams that want workplace search to be the whole product: fast, source-backed, model-flexible, and built around Drive and Slack from the start.
Side by side.
Both genuinely help. The right choice depends on what you want to be the main thing.
| Dimension | ChatGPT Connectors | Chat with Work |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | General AI assistant with connected apps as one feature. | Workplace search across Drive and Slack as the product. |
| Sources connected today | Drive, Gmail, GitHub, SharePoint, and more depending on plan. | Google Drive and Slack. |
| Source-backed answers | Yes, with links back where the connector supports it. | Yes, every answer. |
| Model choice | OpenAI GPT models. | Claude, GPT, Gemini, Mistral, and others — all routed through EU endpoints. |
| Data residency | US-hosted. | EU-hosted (Hetzner, Germany). |
| Plan to use connectors | ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu. | Every account, no tier gating. |
| Tool engineering | Built once to work across many connector types; optimized for breadth. | Hand-tuned per integration so the model finds the right thing, finds it fast, cites a real source, and uses less context at every step. |
| Self-host | No. | Yes. Email us to self-host. |
Connector availability changes; OpenAI publishes the current list in their help center.
