Released Data agent in ChatGPT Work. It connects directly to in-house data sources such as Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, MongoDB and ClickHouse to build interactive dashboards from natural-language queries, integrates with BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, Sigma and ThoughtSpot and with Google Drive and SharePoint files, and shares results via Slack and email. It is listed in the ChatGPT Work plugin directory; admins install it from the workspace settings and configure data-source connections and user permissions. OpenAI says almost all of its own product team and more than two-thirds of its GTM organization already use it to analyze internal data directly (company claim).

Why it matters

The point at which data warehouse queries became a basic agent tool without going through analysts, showing the BI tool layer being absorbed into agents.
