OpenAI on Monday announced its biggest news since ChatGPT’s debut: It’s launching ChatGPT Enterprise, the AI chatbot’s business tier, available starting today

The tool has been in development for “less than a year” and had the help of more than 20 companies of varying sizes and industries, including Block, Canva and The Estée Lauder Cos. ChatGPT Enterprise includes access to GPT-4 with no usage caps, as well as performance up to two times faster than previous versions and API credits. ChatGPT Enterprise provides all the core capabilities of ChatGPT like essay writing and coding assistance. But it also adds enterprise-grade features like enhanced privacy controls, usage analytics, and performance boosts. This puts it on par with Microsoft's Bing Chat Enterprise in terms of targeting workplace usage. With ChatGPT Enterprise, companies get admin tools to manage employee access, shareable conversation templates to build workflows, and API credits for custom integrations. Source: CNBC, cyberkendra
