OpenAI Launches Data Agent for ChatGPT Work, Connecting to 8-Plus Business Data Sources

Summary
OpenAI added a Data agent to ChatGPT Work that lets employees query company data in plain language, investigate metric changes, and turn results into shareable interactive dashboards.
The tool connects to approved sources including Amazon Redshift, Datadog, Google BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, MongoDB and Snowflake, while using existing business definitions and enforcing current table, row and column permissions.
ChatGPT Work users can refine analyses in one conversation, build dashboards inside tools such as Power BI, Tableau and Sigma, and send approved findings or follow-up actions through Slack, email and other connected apps.
OpenAI said nearly all of its product team and more than two-thirds of its go-to-market organization already use data agents internally, while alpha customers including NTT Data and Thermo Fisher are applying them to sales, spending and staffing decisions.
With ChatGPT now generating its own interactive dashboards, are traditional BI giants facing an existential threat disguised as an integration partnership?
If OpenAI's new data agent analyzes enterprise data autonomously, who takes the blame when a hallucinated metric drives a bad business decision?
Could granting conversational AI deep access to core data warehouses accidentally expose hidden structural vulnerabilities to everyday employees?
