iManage to Deliver Governed AI-powered Knowledge Work in ChatGPT Enterprise
iManage plugin extends permission-bound access to the iManage platform to knowledge workers in ChatGPT, backed by iManage's open approach to AI tools
CHICAGO, September 17, 2026 — iManage, the company dedicated to Making Knowledge Work™, today announced a new integration with ChatGPT Enterprise. The iManage plug-in gives knowledge workers a direct way to securely access and work with governed iManage content from within ChatGPT Enterprise, while existing permissions, ethical walls, and audit trails remain in place.
With the plugin, iManage gives customers access to trusted, governed organizational knowledge from their AI tool of choice. Customers simply enable the plugin within ChatGPT Enterprise to get started, replacing the need to manually set up and configure a connection themselves. The iManage plugin in ChatGPT gives users the ability to:
Search iManage content they're authorized to access, such as a prior agreement, documents from a matter or related correspondence
Read and review that content, such as an agreement or draft brief, to quickly get up to speed on its terms
Organize documents and content in iManage from within ChatGPT Enterprise, such as filing a draft into the correct matter
Save new or updated work back into the iManage platform as a new version, such as a drafted memo or a revised document, keeping the original and full version history intact
Underlying the integration is the iManage Context Fabric™, which connects the signals across an organization's content and activity data. Rather than accessing isolated documents, the models available in ChatGPT Enterprise can reason over that connected context - surfacing related work and prior matters. ChatGPT Enterprise users will benefit from answers that are more relevant and verifiable because they are grounded in the organization's institutional knowledge and prior work product.
For example, a lawyer preparing a contract review can use ChatGPT Enterprise to find the latest agreement, related correspondence, and relevant amendments stored in iManage, review that material in one workflow, and save updated work back to the appropriate iManage workspace - streamlining the task while keeping the work part of the governed record.
“Our customers want the freedom to use the AI tools that best fit how their organizations work, without compromising the governance around their most important knowledge,” said Neil Araujo, Chief Executive Officer of iManage. “This integration with ChatGPT makes it even easier to bring governed iManage knowledge into one of the AI environments they choose to use, while reflecting our broader open ecosystem strategy of giving customers choice and flexibility.”
“We believe the next generation of AI for law will be built around what makes each firm distinctive - its expertise, judgment, and way of working. By building alongside iManage, we’re turning that expertise into AI lawyers can use every day, creating new ways for firms to serve their clients and shape the future of legal work.” - Jason Boehmig, GM Legal Industry at OpenAI.
