# Connect ChatGPT to SageOx

Most AI chats are an island. You make a decision in ChatGPT, and your team never hears about it unless you stop and tell them. Your team settles something in a Discussion, and your ChatGPT has no idea.

Connect ChatGPT to SageOx and that changes. **Your ChatGPT hears your team, and your team hears it.** Choose one team for cited company knowledge when you connect. If that team also enables the ChatGPT plugin Preview, its updates can reach ChatGPT without anyone posting them twice.

- **Your ChatGPT knows what happened.** When a coworker posts a Murmur or a team Discussion finishes, your AI coworker in ChatGPT gets it as context. It brings it up when it bears on what you are doing. It does not push a feed at you.
- **Your team keeps what you decided.** When a saved ChatGPT conversation lands a decision, SageOx keeps it for the team. The card has one action: **Undo**. A short Murmur can also carry useful work in progress to teammates; it is attributed to your AI coworker, never posted as you.
- **The work crosses tools.** Ask to continue a specific SageOx Plan in Codex. A separate **Open in Codex** card hands the verified Plan and the decisions you kept in this conversation to your own Codex session, for seven days.
- **ChatGPT can act when something happens.** Ask for an automation, such as _"when a Discussion in my team is ready, summarize the decisions"_, and ChatGPT runs it the moment the Discussion is ready.

<Callout type="info">
  The ChatGPT plugin is a **team Feature Preview**, offered to every team and off until a team owner turns it on in the team's **Settings → Feature Preview**. A team's updates reach ChatGPT only while that team has it on.

  Automatic Keep, company-knowledge citations, and Codex handoff are currently a limited rollout for test users and SageOx employees. Their general-production rollout remains at 0% while live ChatGPT and Codex validation finishes.

## Connect in two minutes

ChatGPT connects to SageOx as a custom app, which needs ChatGPT's Developer mode on the web. Which plans include it, and which can take actions as well as read, is set by OpenAI. See OpenAI's [Developer mode guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461-developer-mode-and-mcp-apps-in-chatgpt).

1. **Turn on Developer mode.** In [ChatGPT settings](https://chatgpt.com/#settings), open **Security and login → Developer mode**.

2. **Create the app.** In settings, open **Apps → Create**, then fill in:
   - **Name:** SageOx
   - **URL:** `https://sageox.ai/mcp`

3. **Authorize.** ChatGPT opens a SageOx tab. Sign in, select exactly one team for company knowledge, and approve the connection.

<Callout type="info">
  On a ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspace, an admin turns on Developer mode under **Workspace settings → Permissions & Roles** and can create the app under **Workspace settings → Apps**.
</Callout>

That's it. Start a new conversation and ask _"What is SageOx and how do I get started?"_ to confirm. The guided version of these steps is in [Settings → Connections](/settings/connections). If you connected ChatGPT before your team turned the plugin on, start a new conversation so it picks up the new capability.

## See how it works

| What | When | What ChatGPT gets |
|---|---|---|
| A coworker posts a Murmur | Within about a minute | The Murmur, as context for your AI coworker |
| A team Discussion is ready | When processing finishes | The title, a link, and how many decisions it holds |
| Your saved conversation decides something | When the decision is clear | A kept-decision card with **Undo**; the team record receives the decision |
| Another user's AI reads a Plan you own | On your next eligible new chat, within seven days | One neutral line with the canonical Plan link; no new thread, badge, title, or coworker name |
| You ask to continue a Plan in Codex | After SageOx verifies your Plan and active captured conversation | A separate card whose only action is **Open in Codex** |

- **What was said stays behind your access.** A notice carries an id and a link, never the transcript. ChatGPT reads the Discussion through SageOx using your own access.
- **Company knowledge stays on the connected team.** ChatGPT's citation tools search only the one team selected on this connection. A citation can open the complete authorized Discussion or verified Plan; SageOx does not fan the query out to your other teams.
- **No repeats, no noise.** A conversation murmurs again only when something new and useful has changed. Small talk never becomes a Murmur. If your AI coworker already shared a Murmur itself, SageOx does not repeat it.
- **You never hear your own Murmurs back.** Murmurs that come from your conversations go to your coworkers, not back to you.
- **Return comes from authenticated Plan reads, not Murmurs.** SageOx records identifiers and counts only after another authorized user successfully reads the full verified Plan. Raw Murmurs never trigger the line in your next chat.
- **A Codex handoff stays yours.** It has no recipient picker, assignment, or cross-person delivery. Only the same signed-in SageOx user can reopen it before it expires.

## Control what flows

- **For the whole team.** A team owner turns the ChatGPT plugin on or off in the team's **Settings → Feature Preview**. Off stops that team's updates for everyone on it.
- **On / Off.** In [Settings → Connections](/settings/connections) → ChatGPT, turn the connection's team updates off and on. Turning it back on is instant.
- **Team updates.** On the same page, pick which teams may send enabled updates to ChatGPT. Updates arrive only from selected teams that also have the plugin Preview on.
- **Company knowledge.** Select exactly one team for ChatGPT's cited `search` and `fetch` tools. Those tools never fan out to other teams you can access.
- **Off the record.** Say _"off the record"_ in ChatGPT. Nothing after that is captured or shared.
- **Disconnect.** Disconnecting ChatGPT removes its team updates and settings along with the connection.
