Tutorial: How to add the Context Link ChatGPT app

Step 1: Add the Context Link app

1. Open the Context Link app in the ChatGPT app store.
2. Click Connect.

Step 2: Connect your Context Link account

When prompted, ChatGPT sends you to the Context Link sign-in screen to securely link your account.

1. Enter your email to receive a magic link.
2. Click Accept to authorize the connection.

Step 3: Use the Context Link app

Once connected, ask ChatGPT to “get context on XYZ,” and it will search your connected sources and return the most relevant snippets. ChatGPT then uses that private context to answer your questions more accurately. Or for a direct answer, ask Context Link a question outright — "ask Context Link: what are our office hours?" — and get back one short paragraph with numbered citations. The Ask Question skill is a Pro feature and counts toward your monthly LLM allowance.

You can use Context Link without naming it directly, but mentioning it — or selecting it from the apps menu — is the surest way to make ChatGPT reach for it.
