It makes sense. One of the earliest uses of AI was to summarize documents and folders of documents, and there's only so many times you can ask it whether Spider-Man would beat Wonder Woman in a fair fight. It would be more productive for AI to collate and make sense of your own personal information, assuming you want to grant access to it.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT can now connect to your OneDrive or SharePoint document libraries, assuming you're a paid ChatGPT Plus, Pro, or Team user who lives outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK (via Windows Central). You'll obviously have to connect ChatGPT and give it permission to start poring over your cloud documents.
Specifically, you'll need to enable ChatGPT's "Deep Research" function, which normally scours the web for information. Now, it appears you can specify which folders in Microsoft's cloud services to make accessible to ChatGPT on a once-and-done basis. Click the "down arrow" to select either OneDrive or SharePoint, then log in to the Microsoft services. You can also go to ChatGPT Settings, then Connected Apps, Connectors, and click Connect next to Microsoft OneDrive (work/school).
From a privacy perspective, you're sharing the request with both OpenAI and Microsoft. "ChatGPT generates search queries from your prompts to locate relevant information within your connected Microsoft document libraries and sends these queries to Microsoft," said OpenAI.
Theoretically, this should work simila

It is also a testament to WBD's willingness to keep boldly iterating its strategy and approach—leaning heavily on consumer data and insights—to best position itself for success."
Well, it's a testament to something, all right, if not Warner Bros.'s ongoing indecisiveness over what HBO Max—er, Max—ah, I mean HBO Max—should be.
The original decision to rebrand HBO Max as "Max" came after the 2022 merger between then-HBO parent WarnerMedia and Discovery, which formed a new media conglomerate called Warner Bros. Discovery.
Company execs wanted to merge Discovery's more family-friendly fare with HBO's signature adult programming, and the new name—Max—was intended to signal the streamer's "broader content offering." Put another way, while HBO and Discovery on their own offered "something for some people," the new Max would serve up "a broad array of quality choices for everybody."
But right away, the name "Max" just didn't sit right. Streamers kept calling it "HBO Max," new branding be damned, while Warner Bros. Discovery executives kept dithering over what was an "HBO" original and what was a "Max" original. For example, shows that were originally intended to be Max Orig
