Requirements

  • A paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu. The Free plan can't add custom connectors.
  • On Business, Enterprise and Edu, an admin may need to allow custom connectors, or add HitApply for the workspace.
  • ChatGPT on the web, at chatgpt.com, for setup. Once it's added, the connector works in the apps too.
  • About 3 minutes.

3. Use it in a chat

  1. Go to the ChatGPT home page and switch the tab at the top from Chat to Work.
  2. Start a new Work chat, type @, choose HitApply, then ask:
@HitApply what have I applied to this month?

More ideas: What you can ask. To have ChatGPT fill in application forms in its own browser, see Auto-apply.

Troubleshooting
