Leading AI company OpenAI ChatGPT has officially launched an app store within its popular chatbot, enabling developers to submit applications for review and publication. This new initiative aims to expand ChatGPT’s functionality and offer users a wider range of services directly within the chatbot.
The app store, currently in beta, includes an Apps SDK that provides developers with tools to create innovative experiences. Once an app is ready, developers can submit it through the OpenAI Developer platform and monitor its approval process. Approved apps will appear in a new directory within the ChatGPT tools menu, giving users easy access to these services.
OpenAI revealed plans to integrate apps into ChatGPT in October to enhance the chatbot’s offerings. Well-known platforms, including Expedia, Spotify, Zillow, and Canva, have already signed on to allow users to access their services directly through ChatGPT conversations.
According to OpenAI, the app integration aims to “extend ChatGPT conversations by bringing in new context and enabling users to perform actions like ordering groceries, creating slide decks from outlines, or searching for apartments.” This expansion allows developers to build apps that provide practical and interactive experiences for millions of ChatGPT users worldwide.
The OpenAI ChatGPT app store is designed to encourage a wider range of developers to participate and contribute innovative solutions. Experts predict that several approved apps will be launched within ChatGPT over the coming months, significantly increasing the chatbot’s utility.
By opening the app store, OpenAI ChatGPT strengthens its position as a versatile AI platform, combining conversational intelligence with actionable services. This move not only benefits users but also creates new opportunities for developers to reach a global audience.
