# ChatGPT App

> Use the Vantage ChatGPT app to explore and act on your cloud costs directly from ChatGPT.

The official Vantage ChatGPT app gives you direct access to Vantage, via the [Vantage MCP Server](/vantage_mcp), from ChatGPT. Instead of manually configuring an MCP server URL in another client, you can connect your Vantage account, add the app to a conversation, and begin asking questions or taking supported actions directly in ChatGPT.

The app uses your existing Vantage account for authentication and respects the same account and workspace access already available to that user.

## What You Can Do

Version `1.0.0` of the Vantage ChatGPT app supports a broad set of Vantage workflows for both read and write use cases.

* **Read workflows** include querying cloud costs, forecasts, anomalies, budgets, Cost Alerts, Dashboards, Folders, provider resources, recommendations, tags, integrations, users, teams, and Audit Logs.
* **Write workflows** include creating budgets, Cost Alerts, Cost Reports, Dashboards, Folders, and Virtual Tag Configs, as well as selected update and delete workflows for supported resources.
* **Account-scoped context** includes workspace access, default workspace information, and other account-scoped metadata needed to answer questions accurately and take supported actions in the right context.

## Privacy and Permissions

The Vantage ChatGPT app uses your existing Vantage account for authentication. It respects the same Vantage account and workspace permissions that apply in the Vantage console and APIs. If a user does not have access to a given workspace, report, alert, or other resource in Vantage, the app should not be able to access it on that user's behalf.

Prompts are handled in the AI client environment, while Vantage receives the underlying API calls needed to fulfill the request. For more information, see the [Privacy Policy](https://www.vantage.sh/legal/privacy-policy) and [Service Agreement](https://www.vantage.sh/legal/service-agreement).
