- OpenAI introduces a GitHub connector for ChatGPT Deep Research, allowing access to private and public repositories.
- Deep Research, launched in February, autonomously performs multi-step research tasks, analyzing and synthesizing online data.
- The GitHub connector enables real-time analysis of code, README files, and documentation, with responses citing relevant snippets.
- Nate Gonzalez, OpenAI's Head of Business Products, highlights user demand for connecting internal data sources like private code.
- The feature is in beta, initially available to Team users, with gradual rollout to Plus and Pro users, excluding some regions.
- Enterprise access will be announced later; users can connect GitHub via the composer interface or settings menu.
- Privacy measures include default non-use of business customer content for model training, with opt-in settings for other plans.
- Practical notes: repository access may take 5 minutes post-connection, and manual indexing or admin approval might be required.
- Limitations include searching only repository names, not individual files, within ChatGPT using the connector.
