This week’s AI update covers new ways to bring ChatGPT into your workflow and UseJunior’s elevation to Google’s “Ecosystem Partner” tier. Follow UseJunior for more updates.
1. ChatGPT Connectors: AI Inside Your Workspace
This week OpenAI rolled out “ChatGPT Connectors” that link the chatbot to popular workplace apps like Google Drive, Box, Gmail, and Microsoft Outlook.[1] Once connected, ChatGPT can search and reference your files, emails, and data. For example, you could ask ChatGPT to find clauses across all your SharePoint contracts or summarize all email threads on a given topic, and it will pull answers from those authorized sources (with citations). ChatGPT Enterprise users can even run deep research on their iManage files.[2] A few days later, Harvey announced similar integrations were incorporated into their tool also.[3]
2. UseJunior Deepens its Partnership with Google Cloud
This week UseJunior was elevated to Google’s “Ecosystem Partner” tier and entered into a strategic partnership with KloudStax, a premier partner of Google Cloud. UseJunior, with the assistance of KloudStax, continues to scale the UseJunior™ Assistant for use in pilots with multiple AmLaw 100 law firms.

- iManage integration for ChatGPT requires a custom connector, as covered in our June 13 article. iManage still lacks off-the-shelf support for MCP servers. In contrast, Google Drive, Box and Sharepoint already provide support for MCP servers for secure and reliable integration with popular AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Users are speculating when iManage will finally offer MCP support (see, e.g.: this discussion).
