• Slack vs Microsoft Teams in ChatGPT— Use the ChatGPT app for whichever chat platform your team is already on. If you have a choice, Slack's integration is more frictionless on personal and team plans; Teams' integration is stronger in regulated enterprise contexts.
• Best ChatGPT Business Apps Compared— Connect HubSpot or Salesforce for pipeline questions, Slack or Microsoft Teams for channel catch-up and write-back, and Stripe for revenue analytics. Most teams need two or three, not all of them.
