New ChatGPT Features, Prompts and Plugins November 2026
Connect the right source before asking ChatGPT for the answer.
In short OpenAI’s 10 November release introduced Business Hub for claiming and managing a business presence in ChatGPT. For everyday work, connected plugins can turn approved files, email and business data into a draft you can check. Start by telling ChatGPT which account and source to use. “Find my latest numbers” leaves quite a lot to chance.
What’s new in ChatGPT this November?
10 November · Business Hub in ChatGPT
Owners and authorised representatives can claim a business through the web sidebar. OpenAI says verified businesses can update details and see insights such as mentions and website clicks. The customer-facing business agent has separate eligibility for qualifying US businesses.
10 November · Voice retirement announced
OpenAI announced that Advanced and Standard Voice are due to retire on 11 December as ChatGPT moves to GPT‑Live. Live video and screen sharing remain on Advanced Voice until GPT‑Live supports them.
Already available · Plugins and connected accounts
OpenAI documented support for multiple accounts on supported plugins and a Data plugin for ChatGPT Work and Codex in September. Check which accounts, tools and data sources your workspace allows before building a routine around them.
Five ChatGPT prompts to copy
Prepare your Business Hub profile
Run this in ChatGPT with the public pages you already control.
Compare [homepage], [contact page] and [programme page]. Draft a short business description and a table of public business name, location, service area, contact details and main services. Give the supporting URL for every entry. Flag disagreements for me to resolve before publishing.
Turn work email into a Friday handover
Use the approved work inbox or paste selected threads.
Use [work account] and threads from [dates] about [project]. Draft a handover with decisions, promised actions, named owners and deadlines. Link each item to the relevant message. List unresolved threads separately. Leave all messages untouched.
Find the approved file before drafting
Use a connected file source your team permits.
Search only [workspace and folder]. Find the latest approved version of [document]. Show candidate titles, links, dates and any approval marker. Stop if approval is unclear. If confirmed, draft a five-line briefing and link each point to the source.
Explain why a dashboard number moved
Use an approved connection via the Data plugin where available, or upload an approved export.
Compare [metric] for [two periods] using [approved dataset]. State the date boundaries and metric definition first. Show totals, absolute change and percentage change. Break down the movement by [dimension], include missing values and mark any explanation that is only a hypothesis.
Test a migrated plugin with real jobs
Use redacted examples from a custom GPT that your team depends on.
Turn these three redacted requests and expected outputs into a migration checklist. Include instructions to preserve, which tools each task needs, permitted actions and an example where it must stop for approval. Give me a pass/fail checklist and leave all connections unchanged.
A ten-minute test for any ChatGPT plugin
- Choose one job with an obvious output, such as drafting a handover from a named inbox.
- Connect the approved account and ask for source links in the first answer.
- Open the evidence behind one date, one figure and one commitment before using the draft.
- Repeat with an input you know is incomplete. Check that ChatGPT asks or marks the gap.
Worth knowing. When two accounts have access to similar files, give ChatGPT the account, folder, date range and approval marker in the same prompt. The newest upload can still be an old draft.
