iManage launches governed AI-powered knowledge work plugin for 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, Sept. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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."
