ChatGPT Deep Research can now pull data from Dropbox and Box

You can now connect your Box and Dropbox accounts to Deep Research on ChatGPT and pull data, which will be used by the AI to conduct research.

For those unaware, Deep Research is an AI agent that automates research for you. You just need to give it a brief prompt with all necessary details, and it will crawl the internet to write a research paper.

You can also watch how Deep Research crawls the internet and summarizes websites on the right sidebar, so you know it's heading in the right direction.

Deep Research mostly relies on the internet for crawling the information, but you can also give it PDFs or access to your cloud storage.

As announced on X, OpenAI is rolling out support for Box and Dropbox for ChatGPT Research.

This means you can now choose either of the services under "sources" in Deep Research. Once done, Deep Research will use Box or Dropbox's specified location to refer to the documents.

These two cloud providers have joined Github and OneDrive, which were already integrated into ChatGPT.

BleepingComputer understands that it will soon be possible to connect custom apps or services (MCP) to ChatGPT and use them as context.

This could dramatically change how AI works in organisations with multiple internal tools or services.

We don't know when full-fledged MCP support will begin rolling out to ChatGPT, but it's definitely coming.
