ChatGPT gets smarter, and so do gecco assistants

How the latest AI updates boost real-world productivity

AI is powerful on its own. But when it can access your data safely and easily, it becomes much more impactful. Gone are the days of juggling multiple tabs:

• Word documents
• Internet searches
• File explorers
• Emails

You can now access all of them in one workspace and pass data directly to your specialist gecco assistants. These assistants are designed to understand specific roles, from finance reporting to marketing planning. They not only fetch information but also act on it in context.

For example, you can pull project progress data ahead of a meeting from Sharepoint , then pass it to the Meeting Organiser assistant to create agendas, handouts, and action trackers automatically.

Our Sales Assistant can draw on CRM data to draft proposals and craft sales personalised sales messaging . The result is a single environment where your gecco assistants handle repetitive tasks and let you focus on higher‑value work.

What’s changed and why it matters

OpenAI has introduced several major improvements to ChatGPT, making it even more useful in the workplace. Here’s what’s new:

• Project-only memory creates focused workflows: Memory can now be scoped to individual projects. A gecco assistant embedded in a finance report builder won't pull context from your HR workflows. You get more control, more accuracy, and clearer results.
• Collaborate with simplified workspaces: New workspace features make it easier for teams to use shared assistants. Admins can manage who joins, how memory behaves, and what integrations are enabled.
• More power for developers with enhanced Codex: With a new IDE extension, GitHub code reviews, and optional local task credits, gecco’s technical assistants built on ChatGPT can now support more advanced developer workflows.
• ChatGPT Business signals platform maturity: ChatGPT Team is now ChatGPT Business. It’s a small name change, but it signals maturity, and gecco’s assistants are moving in step.

From novelty to necessity: a founder’s take

"This update shows AI is becoming less about novelty and more about practical, powerful tools," said Adam Richardson, founder of gecco. "Our assistants are now smarter, more secure, and more embedded in the apps our clients already rely on. It’s about enabling real productivity gains, not just experimentation."
