- Openai has launched apps for chat to chatgpt
- Users can access apps like Spotify, Canva and Zillow directly in conversations with AI Chatbot
- The upgrade makes chatgpt into a full-fledged app platform
Openai transforms chatgpt to be a whole platform full of apps that go far out of the usual chatbot setup. The latest feature makes Chatgpt a conversation app store with potentially huge branches for how people are engaging in it.
Chatgpt has been moving towards a more proactive approach to responding to requests for a while, but the inclusion of third -party apps provided by like Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify and Zillow, do so, so you can simply name a task in a chat and chatgpt can now call for the relevant services. For example, you can ask for a new Spotify playlist or help make a property list for Zillow and get it set up on the respective platforms without leaving chatgpt.
And you don’t even have to specify which app you want. Mention the planning of a trip and Chatgpt may suggest the Expedia or Booking.com app. Or if you ask to design a logo, you can see Figma appear as part of Chatgpt’s answer. Chatgpt becomes a central command center where conversations turn into actions with a single prompt.
The obvious comparison here is for smartphones and the early days of the Apple App Store. But even on your phone, find and open an app to use it. With chatgpt -apps, the software comes to you based on context as much as by name. You don’t open the app. The app joins the conversation.
Of course, it’s also a power play of Openai. After all, by becoming a platform, Openai now owns the interface and possibly the app economy within it. Like how Google controls search traffic or how Apple controls mobile distribution, Openai could soon decide which apps will appear in Chatgpt, how they are ranked and what it takes to be discoverable.

The change is rolling out today for all chatgpt users, except those within the EU for now. Openai says it plans to expand the list of third -party partners throughout the year, helped by how developers can start building their own apps right now using SDK. Openai has not yet set out exactly how app developers will make money on this new ecosystem, but a revenue model is inevitable.
From the user’s perspective, it looks less like installing software and more like inviting a useful guest in your chat in your chat by using one of these new chatgpt apps and more like inviting a useful guest in your chat. The first time you use a new app, Chatgpt will ask for permission and show you what data it plans to share, with a quick to connect your accounts if necessary. Once connected, these apps are interactive and will offer all kinds of help based on what you have discussed with chatgpt.
Still, if Openai’s vision pans out, we can look back on today as the day ai stopped being a favor and began to become a store.
