Intapp changelog

Intapp launched a Celeste plugin for ChatGPT as part of OpenAI's Astra for Law launch. Lawyers can search, create and update records across the Intapp Celeste portfolio from ChatGPT, including surfacing activities that may need a time entry. Intapp says every result respects the firm's existing ethical walls and need to know access rules.

Buyer relevance. Read this entry first in this week's plugin wave. Connecting a general assistant to firm systems is easy; doing it without breaching a wall is the hard part, and Intapp owns the walls product most large firms already run. Ask for the behavior in writing: what the plugin returns when a user asks a question whose answer sits on the other side of a wall.

Intapp released a DealCloud with Celeste plug in for ChatGPT for Financial Services, available to eligible Intapp clients from 10 September. The plug in lets a professional query the firm's own client, deal, investor and relationship records from inside ChatGPT, with Intapp's information barriers, material non public information rules and independence obligations enforced on every answer, so a user sees only what they could already see in DealCloud. This first release is scoped to financial services firms on ChatGPT for Financial Services; Intapp has not said when, or whether, the same plug in reaches DealCloud for Legal.

Buyer relevance. Law firms run Intapp for conflicts, intake and ethical walls, so the relevant question here is not the DealCloud data but the barrier model. Intapp is saying that the walls a firm configures once will hold wherever its knowledge goes next, including inside a third party frontier model, which is the claim a legal buyer would want tested before any Celeste plug in arrives for the legal edition.
