- Product evidence
- The connector requests read-only meeting access and is designed for search and retrieval rather than write actions or background sharing.
- Limits
- Nod is not yet listed for public installation. ChatGPT availability, plan requirements, region, workspace controls, retention, and model-training settings are controlled by OpenAI.
- Method
- The comparison uses public first-party product, help, pricing, and security documentation. Capabilities change, so the verification date matters and the linked vendor source takes precedence.

What a good connection needs
A useful meeting connection is more than an export button. It should retrieve the right meeting, return enough source context to check an answer, request the narrowest permission, and stay clear about whether it can act. ChatGPT's plan, region, workspace settings, and the installed app's capabilities also affect what is available.
- Reliable capture across the calls you actually use
- Search and source retrieval, not only pasted summaries
- An explicit, revocable authorization grant
- Clear read-versus-write capability and workspace controls
- Documented handling on both the meeting-tool and ChatGPT sides
The Nod workflow after approval
Capture meetings in Nod, install the public ChatGPT listing, sign in to the intended Nod account, and approve meetings:read. In ChatGPT, ask the connector to find a meeting, open its summary, or page through the transcript. Combine that retrieved context with other material in the chat, then disconnect the grant when it is no longer needed.
What is available today
The Nod connector is built and read-only, but public installation remains pending directory approval. The install surface must continue to say that plainly. Ask Nod inside the macOS app is available without ChatGPT, and a user can still copy selected notes manually when that is appropriate.

Frequently asked questions
Can ChatGPT search my Nod meetings now?
The connector is built, but general public installation is awaiting directory approval. Ask Nod remains available inside the Mac app in the meantime.
What permission does Nod request?
The public connector requests read-only meeting access so it can search and retrieve summaries and transcripts. It cannot change meetings or act on your behalf.
Does ChatGPT automatically receive every meeting?
No. A user must install the connector, authorize the intended Nod account, and invoke it. ChatGPT-side data handling then follows OpenAI's plan and settings.
