OpenAI's ChatGPT Enterprise Edition has been well received by the business community, with 260 companies registering for the service within four months. This demonstrates the strong interest that businesses have in OpenAI's core products and their potential to generate revenue for startups. According to reports, ChatGPT Enterprise Edition was launched in August, offering enhanced functionality and privacy protection to meet the specific needs of businesses. These features include data encryption and a commitment not to use customer information for the development of OpenAI's technology. The pricing of ChatGPT Enterprise Edition is flexible and can be customized based on each company's requirements. Brad Lightcap, Chief Operating Officer of OpenAI, stated in an interview with Bloomberg that there are currently over 150,000 employees registered across the 260 companies using ChatGPT Enterprise Edition. "When we launched ChatGPT Enterprise Edition, we had a waitlist, and of course, we had to work through that waitlist," Lightcap said in the report. In addition to the Enterprise Edition, OpenAI announced on Wednesday, January 10th, the launch of a new paid tier for small teams using ChatGPT, priced at $25 per user per month. OpenAI stated during the launch of ChatGPT Enterprise Edition in August that this AI tool aims to provide businesses with a secure and fast way to deploy this technology, utilizing it to improve communication, accelerate coding tasks, solve complex business problems, and assist with creative work. In November, Microsoft told The Wall Street Journal that it encourages its employees and customers to use ChatGPT Enterprise Edition and Bing Chat Enterprise Edition, as these enterprise editions offer higher privacy and security measures than the consumer version. They ensure that user data is limited to company devices and kept separate from other users' data. On Wednesday, OpenAI launched the GPT store, offering customized versions of the ChatGPT chatbot. The store will provide special features for ChatGPT Enterprise Edition customers, including enhanced management controls that allow them to choose how to share internal proprietary GPTs and which external GPTs can be used within their business.
