Glossaries, style rules, and custom instructions from the user's DeepL account are applied to keep terminology and tone consistent, and DeepL Write rephrases or corrects text for grammar, typos, style, and tone.

What DeepL can access

The official listing names no Read or Write capability for DeepL. Check what it asks for when you add it, and connect only the accounts you want it to use.

Before you connect it

OpenAI’s plugin pages note that a connected plugin may receive relevant parts of your chats to answer a request, and that DeepL SE’s own terms and privacy policy then cover that data. You can disconnect a plugin later in ChatGPT’s settings. Read the privacy policy (deepl.com) and terms (deepl.com).
