Organizational subscriptions now cover AI features in outside tools
OpenAI on Nov. 10 (Nov. 11 Japan time) announced through its official X account for developers that subscriptions to its organizational plan "ChatGPT Business" can now be used in outside tools. The post listed the supported tools as the document-sharing service Notion, Vercel's "v0," Amp, Kilo Code, Warp, Nous Research's "Hermes," OpenClaw and opencode. Connections use "Sign in with ChatGPT," which lets users log in to outside services with a ChatGPT account.
Now, you can use your ChatGPT Business plan in tools like @NotionHQ, @v0, @ampcode, @kilocode, @warpdotdev, Hermes from @NousResearch, @openclaw, @opencode, and more. Connect with Sign in with ChatGPT to get started.
According to OpenAI's documentation, in supported apps, users can let the app's AI features draw on the usage allowance of their ChatGPT subscription. AI processing is covered by the ChatGPT subscription, without using an API key (a key for calling OpenAI's models on a pay-as-you-go basis) provided by the app's developer. Logging in and using the plan are authorized separately.
Mechanism launched in September with Plus and Pro
OpenAI announced Sign in with ChatGPT at its developer event "DevDay" on Sept. 29 (Sept. 30 Japan time). According to an announcement on its official forum, it launched with 16 partners. Release notes from the same day described it as a limited preview in which eligible Plus and Pro users could let participating apps use their allowances.
With the latest post, eligibility has expanded to Business for organizations. OpenAI's documentation and help center list Go, Plus, Pro and Business as the plans that can be used outside ChatGPT. Enterprise for large companies and Edu for educational institutions are not listed. As ORIENS reported on Nov. 7, Notion had since Oct. 13 let users cover AI use inside Notion with a Plus or Pro subscription.
Partners listed in 3 categories; Devin does not support Business
OpenAI's documentation lists partners in 3 categories. Apps that can use the plan are 11: Amp Code, Conductor, Dactyl, Devin, Hermes Agent, Hyperagent, Kilo Code, Notion, Vercel, Vorflux and Warp, plus Lovable, which will be supported soon. Airtable, Canva, GitLab, HubSpot and Supabase support login only, and OpenClaw, OpenCode, Pi and T3 are listed as open-source partners.
According to the documentation, Cognition's Devin does not support plan usage on the Business plan. The v0 named in the post appears in the documentation's list under the name Vercel.
Admins approve each app and set the share usable outside ChatGPT
Using it with Business requires administrator settings. According to OpenAI's documentation, administrators approve "Use ChatGPT plan" for each app under "External access" in the admin console. Sharing of identity information is allowed by default.
Administrators also set "Usage in other services" in the workspace's usage limits. This determines the share of Standard and Premium members' allowances that can be used in approved outside services. Once that share is reached, members with permission can use workspace credits. Pay-as-you-go members use credits only. OpenAI's help center also says Business users select a workspace and grant permission, and that their organization must have approved the app.
Allowances do not increase, and conversations and memories are not shared
Usage in outside apps counts toward the existing plan's limits. Connecting does not increase allowances, and the app may charge separately. Users can set a weekly limit for each app as a percentage of their overall allowance. OpenAI said this percentage is a cap and does not reserve allowance for the app.
Logging in shares the user's name, email address and profile picture with the app. OpenAI said that even when plan usage is allowed, the app does not get access to ChatGPT conversations or memories. OpenAI's documentation and help center do not state the regions where it is available.
