Questions.

Which ChatGPT plans support custom connectors?

OpenAI decides this. Check OpenAI's help center for current availability.

Does ChatGPT see my API key?

With OAuth, no key is involved. With a key, it lives in the connector config, not the chat.

Is this an OpenAI or Meta product?

No. Instadata is independent and reads public data only.
