Install the Zentrik plugin, connect one authorized workspace, and bring customer evidence into the conversation where your team is making the product decision.
Zentrik is published in the ChatGPT Plugins Directory. Open the listing to install it in a supported ChatGPT or Codex surface.
Add Zentrik to ChatGPTUse Zentrik in ChatGPT when you want to search customer evidence, inspect the source trail behind an opportunity, or capture a new customer note without rebuilding the context in another tool.
Zentrik organizes and returns the records. Your team still decides what to build.
Install and connect
Installation takes a few minutes. You need access to a Zentrik workspace and a ChatGPT or Codex surface that supports plugins.
Before you start
- Zentrik: Sign in to an existing workspace, or create a Zentrik workspace.
- ChatGPT: On the web, desktop, or mobile app, open Plugins from Chat or Work.
- Codex: In the ChatGPT desktop app, open Plugins from Codex; in Codex CLI, open the plugin browser.
Plugins are not available in the Codex IDE extension. Availability of a particular plugin or app can still depend on your plan, workspace settings, role, region, or the capabilities of the connected app. OpenAI maintains the current plugin availability and installation guide.
The Plugins Directory is shared by ChatGPT and Codex. Codex users can also install Zentrik from the public Zentrik-AI/agent-plugins marketplace package, which maps to the same reviewed Zentrik app surface.
Install the plugin
- Open the Zentrik listing in the Plugins Directory.
- Select the plus button to install it.
- Start a new chat after installation.
- Type
@Zentrikwhen you want to choose the plugin explicitly.
You can also describe the task normally and let ChatGPT choose from your installed tools.
Start a conversation
Begin with a question your team is already trying to answer. Ask for the source records when the answer could affect a product decision.
Starter prompts
Copy one of these into a new chat:
@Zentrik Find recent customer evidence about reporting and fetch the most relevant result.@Zentrik What customer problems repeat across recent evidence, and which opportunities do they support?@Zentrik What evidence supports [opportunity name or ID]?@Zentrik Compare [ideas] in a decision brief. Show the evidence and what could change the recommendation.@Zentrik Plan a private Study for [idea or initiative] to learn [question] from [audience]. Show the plan before creating the draft.@Zentrik Save these customer notes as evidence in Zentrik, then confirm when processing is complete: [paste notes]
Use customer-safe material that belongs in the workspace you connected. Do not paste credentials, payment data, health information, government identifiers, or full private chat transcripts.
Prompt tips
- Name the product, customer problem, date range, or opportunity when you know it.
- Ask Zentrik to fetch a search result when you need the full source context.
- Ask for linked findings and source records before treating an opportunity as decision-ready.
- After capturing evidence, ask for processing status before requesting a new synthesis from that record.
What Zentrik can do
Use the installed plugin to work with customer evidence:
- Search customer evidence, findings, opportunities, and ideas.
- Fetch the complete context for a search result.
- Summarize repeated customer problems across recent evidence.
- Review the evidence and linked findings behind an opportunity.
- Capture a new customer note as evidence.
- Check whether newly captured evidence has finished processing.
You can also plan product work and review Studies:
- Compare product options in an interactive decision brief, with linked evidence and open questions.
- List, answer, and revise an Idea's planning questions.
- Regenerate an existing Initiative Brief, PRD, or TDD from current Initiative state and check the regeneration job.
- Delete one Idea comment when the connected user is its author or a workspace owner/admin.
- List and inspect Studies, read aggregate evidence and authorized response details, create or refine an unpublished draft, and generate draft findings for human review.
OpenAI reviews new and changed tool definitions through continuous review. A new tool becomes available after its checks pass; an updated tool keeps its previous definition until the update passes. Your available tools also depend on workspace permissions and the access approved for your connection. Zentrik remains the place to publish Studies, invite participants, and manage the broader product graph.
Explicit destructive actions
- Deleting an Idea comment permanently removes the single addressed comment.
- Regenerating an Initiative Brief, PRD, or TDD replaces its current generated content.
- Answering an Idea question replaces its saved answer when one exists.
- Updating a Study draft replaces the supplied editable plan fields. It requires the latest draft revision and cannot change a Study that has responses.
Identify the exact target and confirm the replacement or deletion before acting. Zentrik checks permissions on the server.
Access and boundaries
- Workspace-scoped: The connection uses the single workspace selected during authorization.
- User-scoped: Zentrik applies the connected user's workspace access.
- Evidence capture: The plugin can capture evidence after you ask it to save supplied source material.
- Planning and Study writes: These tools answer Idea planning questions, regenerate generated Initiative documents, and create or refine unpublished Study drafts. They do not publish a Study or invite participants.
- Response access: Study response details can include answers, interview notes, transcripts, and known participant identity. Access is limited to the connected user's authorized workspace and requires the dedicated response scope.
- Destructive actions: Comment deletion, document regeneration, saved-answer replacement, and Study draft replacement affect only the identified target. Confirm the change before acting.
- Durable records: Evidence, findings, and opportunities stay in Zentrik after the ChatGPT conversation ends.
You can review Zentrik's privacy policy, security practices, and sub-processors before connecting a workspace.
Troubleshooting
Check these steps against what you see in your workspace. If something differs, note your workspace name and the screen, then contact us.
The plugin does not appear
Confirm that you are using a supported surface. On ChatGPT web, desktop, or mobile, open Plugins from Chat or Work. In the ChatGPT desktop app or Codex CLI, open the Codex plugin browser. Plugins are not available in the Codex IDE extension. Then open the Zentrik directory listing directly.
Zentrik is installed but does not run
Start a new chat after installation and type @Zentrik at the beginning of the request. If authorization opens, complete it before retrying the task.
The wrong workspace is connected
Reconnect Zentrik and choose the intended workspace during authorization. A connection can use one Zentrik workspace at a time.
Search returns the wrong evidence
Add the product, customer problem, date range, or opportunity to the request. Ask Zentrik to fetch the most relevant result when you need the full source context.
New evidence is not visible yet
New evidence may continue processing after capture. Ask @Zentrik to check the processing status, then request the downstream summary again.
The connection reports a permission error
Confirm that your Zentrik user can access the selected workspace. If workspace membership changed after authorization, reconnect the plugin and try again.
A newly documented planning tool is missing
New tools become available after OpenAI's automated checks pass. If an available tool needs a scope your connection does not have, reconnect and review the requested access. A pending or incomplete check does not make a tool available.
