OpenAI Integrates Apps within ChatGPT for Enhanced User Experience
OpenAI has unveiled a new feature that enables users to interact with various applications directly within ChatGPT. This integration allows users to utilize apps such as Spotify, Canva, and Zillow to assist in completing tasks while receiving contextual support and advice from the AI, reports 24brussels.
During a demonstration, an OpenAI representative showcased the functionality by prompting Canva to design a poster for a dog-walking business. Following this, the presenter requested a generated pitch deck based on the created poster. Additionally, Zillow provided an interactive map displaying homes for sale in Pittsburgh when queried through ChatGPT.
This feature is available immediately, with the initial selection of applications including Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow. OpenAI plans to expand the list in the coming weeks to include services like DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, and Uber. Recently, the company also began allowing ChatGPT users to make purchases on Etsy, marking a significant step in integrating with broader online services.
Developers can access the new SDK today for creating apps that integrate with ChatGPT. OpenAI intends to open the submission process for app publication later this year. CEO Sam Altman indicated that a directory for browsing applications will also be established, with monetization guidance expected to be released soon.
