Straight answers
Questions people actually ask before giving an AI access to their company, answered without a pitch attached. Where the honest answer is that something else fits better, these say so.
Through a layer that connects to your tools and exposes them to ChatGPT over an API, rather than by pasting the data in or uploading files by hand.
Yes, if every action is permissioned individually and writes stop for a human, rather than the agent being trusted to behave.
Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting an AI client to tools and data, so one integration works across Claude, Cursor, Codex and anything else that speaks it.
Give it real sources to answer from and require citations, so an unsupported claim is visible rather than plausible.
Yes. A bot only sees the channels it has been invited to, and a well-built layer additionally checks who is asking before returning anything.
An assistant answers; an agent takes actions on your behalf, which makes permissions and approval the whole design problem rather than a detail.
Usually a per-seat or per-usage fee on top of whatever you already pay for the AI itself, and the honest starting point is a free tier rather than a quote.
Not for tools with an API, which is most of them. A browser only becomes necessary for systems that have no API at all.
Comparisons
Each one includes a section on when the alternative is the better choice, because a comparison where the other side never wins is not one worth reading.
