506 CompanyGPT 4.5 – Winter update
We are pleased to announce exciting new developments at CompanyGPT in December. With CompanyGPT version 4.5, several new functions and features are now available: text recognition via OCR, audio transcription and a Super Admin Area for CompanyGPT instances with multi-client capability.
Text recognition with OCR
The new OCR function (optical text recognition) makes it possible to convert texts in scanned files into machine-readable text formats. From now on, you can easily upload and process scanned documents such as contracts, book pages and much more in CompanyGPT. Thanks to the new OCR function, the error message “PDF not processable” is a thing of the past. This enhancement allows you to efficiently process and search scanned documents.
Transcription of audio files: new upload options
With the new transcription function, you can now upload the most common audio formats as well as the video format MP4 to CompanyGPT. Your files will be automatically transcribed in the background and the transcript created will be saved as a PDF. You can then continue to work with the transcript as usual, create an executive summary or ask questions in query mode – just as you would with a classic PDF document.
Supported file formats:
- Video: MP4
- Audio: MPEG, MP3, WAV, AIFF, AAC, OGG, FLAC
The function also makes it easier to create meeting minutes: Simply upload the recording of a meeting to CompanyGPT, have it transcribed and create a clear protocol from it. This saves you time and helps you keep track of important content and decisions made in a meeting.
Helpful application tips:
- Large MP4 files (over 300 MB): Use a converter to convert the file to MP3 format. This reduces the file size and speeds up the upload.
- Patience during upload: Allow the upload to complete before continuing. This may take some time for large files.
Additional API functions
In our latest version, we have introduced two new chat endpoints. The chatReferences endpoint returns the associated references in addition to the chat responses, which enables improved traceability and verification of the information. The chatNoStream endpoint, on the other hand, provides the results of the language model as a non-streaming response.
In addition, we have integrated the option to upload files via the API. The uploadMedia endpoint is available for this purpose. Furthermore, you can use the createDataCollection and deleteDataCollection endpoints to create and delete data stores.

Super Admin Area
With this update, the Super Admin Area is available in CompanyGPT for instances with multi-client capability. This feature allows you to create cross-company data stores and share them efficiently with different clients. Each instance is managed by a Super Admin, who takes over the central administration of these data stores. This enables a smooth data exchange across all clients.
UX improvements and bug fixes
In addition to the major innovations, we have also made numerous minor UX improvements and bug fixes to make using CompanyGPT even smoother and more pleasant for you. For example, the user interface for chat has been improved: it now adapts better to smaller browser windows when the width is reduced.
