What happened
In this episode of How I AI, OpenAI product staffer Kath Korevec demos ChatGPT Sites live at OpenAI DevDay, showing internal tools that adapt to each person on a team, built from Slack, Notion, and calendar data. She describes an incident command site her OpenAI team built on live Slack and Notion connectors, says the connector ecosystem now includes around 60 integrations, and references Plugin Insights, MCP plugin hosting, and a widget experiment for bringing inference into a site. The show notes give timestamps and tool links (chatgpt.com/sites, awesomesites.ai) but no pricing, limits, or the specific Codex phrase for wiring connectors.
Why it matters
The concrete takeaway is that an internal incident-command tool was assembled from existing Slack and Notion connectors rather than a bespoke frontend, and Plugin Insights reportedly changes who can use a site. If your team maintains an on-call runbook or internal dashboard, this is a template worth testing against your own Slack/Notion data before you budget more frontend work. Caveat: the notes contain no how-to detail, so treat this as a pointer to the episode, not a build guide. Nothing here is Malaysia-specific.
Discussion angle
Korevec says she draws a hard line on AI acting in her name — where would you draw yours if a teammate can wire Slack and Notion connectors into a per-person internal site, and who reviews access when the builder is no longer an engineer?
