Set up

Add Microsoft Word to ChatGPT in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ChatGPT then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Microsoft Word in Runlayer

    Add Microsoft Word from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect ChatGPT to Runlayer

    Admins publish the Runlayer Plugin and its skill to the whole ChatGPT organization. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Microsoft Word’s 4 tools show up in ChatGPT’s own tool list.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Microsoft Word

    Each user signs in to Microsoft Word with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Microsoft Word from ChatGPT

    Microsoft Word’s approved tools appear in ChatGPT. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

4 Microsoft Word tools in ChatGPT

Runlayer policy decides which of these ChatGPT users can call.

  • Add comment

    Add a new comment in the Word document.

  • Create document

    Create a new Word document in the root of the user's OneDrive.

  • Get document content

    Fetch the raw Word document (DOCX) content from OneDrive/SharePoint given its SharePoint sharing URL.

  • Reply to comment

    Reply to a comment in the Word document.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in ChatGPT

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ChatGPT exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Microsoft Word call from ChatGPT passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, ChatGPT as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Compliance API import (available)

    OpenAI Compliance Logs Platform imports ChatGPT web chats for review.

  • Managed browser extension (available)

    Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ChatGPT yet, so control happens at the gateway.
