ChatGPT app
Install the Orbit app in ChatGPT → search from any conversation.
The Orbit ChatGPT app exposes Orbit's search as a GPT Action inside ChatGPT. Once installed, any ChatGPT conversation can run a people search and read results directly in the thread. Authentication is OAuth — no API key to manage.
Install
- Open ChatGPT and go to Explore GPTs.
- Search for Orbit and click Add.
- On first use ChatGPT will redirect you to Orbit for OAuth consent.
- Once authorised, Orbit's tools are available in that conversation and any future one.
What you can do
Ask ChatGPT in plain English:
Find senior ML engineers in Berlin with fintech experienceChatGPT calls orbit_search under the hood, waits for the project to complete, and returns a ranked list of people in the thread. You can then ask follow-up questions, request a CSV, or export to markdown — all without leaving ChatGPT.
How it works
The Orbit ChatGPT app is built on the remote MCP server (plan 086). ChatGPT's Actions layer calls the Orbit MCP endpoint at <orbit-url>/mcp using OAuth 2.1 for auth. No API key is required — tokens are issued per user and scoped to their workspace.
