Artificial intelligence leader OpenAI said on Monday it’s releasing a version of ChatGPT targeted to large businesses, increasing the overlap in what OpenAI and its financial backer Microsoft offer to customers.
ChatGPT Enterprise offers more security, privacy and higher-speed access to OpenAI’s technology, the corporate said. Early customers include Block, Carlyle and Estée Lauder Cos.
When OpenAI released the consumer-focused ChatGPT in November, it set off frenzied use of generative AI in each day tasks from writing to coding, and reached 100 million monthly energetic users in January.
Many individuals within the US have used ChatGPT to assist with work-related tasks, though their employers discourage it, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
With the launch of ChatGPT Enterprise, OpenAI hopes employers will feel comfortable embracing ChatGPT usage at work.

Microsoft already offers businesses access to ChatGPT via its Azure OpenAI Service, though as a way to use it businesses have to be a customer of Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform.
ChatGPT Enterprise subscribers needn’t subscribe to Azure, OpenAI said. OpenAI and Microsoft have introduced overlapping services before, and it’s unclear how much the 2 corporations are competing over customers.
