Tropic Is Now Available Inside Claude and ChatGPT

Your team uses AI every day. But when they ask about vendor pricing or contract terms, they get internet guesswork - not real answers.

That changes now. Tropic connects directly to Claude and ChatGPT, giving your team access to real, unbiased procurement intelligence right where they already work. Benchmark pricing, prep for negotiations, and search contracts - without switching tools.

We've been building this alongside our design partner Gusto, whose team is already using Tropic inside ChatGPT via an MCP (Model Context Protocol) to streamline renewals and give contract owners instant access to procurement intelligence.

Why this matters

Normally, when you ask your AI assistant a procurement question, it searches the internet and gives you a generic answer. Now it pulls from real data: your contracts, your pricing benchmarks, your negotiation intel, plus Tropic's unbiased, anonymized network data.

No logging in. No context switching. No digging through dashboards. You just ask.

• How does this vendor's pricing compare to what other companies pay?
• I have a call with Docusign in 30 minutes, what should I say?
• When does our Salesforce contract renew?

Here's what you can do:

• Benchmark pricing in seconds: Upload a contract or proposal and get a real market comparison, not an internet estimate. Tropic compares your quote against actual contract prices from thousands of similar deals.
• Negotiate with tactics that work: Every vendor is different. Tropic's negotiation playbooks show you which levers actually work for each supplier: discount flexibility, common terms, and competitors to reference.
• Get full context for any vendor decision: The Tropic MCP unifies proprietary procurement data, your historical contracts, and market intelligence in one place. One question pulls from all of it.
• Stay compliant without the friction: Validate documents against your procurement policies instantly. No forms, no waiting.

How Gusto is using Tropic in ChatGPT

Gusto's team believes the way people interact with SaaS tools is fundamentally changing. As Jose explained: "People won't be going into SaaS tools and clicking through UIs as much anymore. Interaction will happen through natural language, through a chat client."

With that vision in mind, Gusto signed on as the first design partner, creating a unified procurement assistant that lives in ChatGPT Enterprise with access to Tropic data. Now any contract owner can get real pricing benchmarks and negotiation tips when they need them, right in the flow of work.

The early feedback has been strong.

Gusto is even using Tropic to validate past negotiations. "We've backtracked on some of the deals that we've recently completed, just to make sure that we negotiated competitively. It's been able to give us data around that. More peace of mind, I think, is really valuable as well."

That's the promise of Tropic inside your AI tools: real insights based on your data and our intelligence, driving real business outcomes.

What's next?

The Tropic MCP launches for general availability in early 2026. Want to get started sooner? Existing Tropic customers can request access by contacting your Account Manager.
