ChatGPT Now Interacts With Multiple Apps Inside Conversations

by

ChatGPT users can now interact with a handful of third-party apps directly within their conversations, OpenAI has announced.

The new Apps SDK allows developers to build tools that blend naturally into chats, and initial partners include Spotify, Canva, Zillow, Expedia, Booking.com, Coursera, and Figma.

Users can summon apps by name. For example, you can ask "Spotify, make a playlist for my party this Friday." ChatGPT can also suggest relevant apps automatically. For instance, when discussing home purchases, ChatGPT might surface Zillow to browse listings on an interactive map.

The system uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which gives ChatGPT access to data sources, tools, and workflows in connected apps.

The Apps SDK is now available in preview to developers. OpenAI plans to launch a full developer directory and monetization support later this year, while additional apps from DoorDash, Instacart, Uber, and AllTrails are coming soon.

The feature is available to Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users outside the EU.

Yep. All of this money and compute power is basically being used to create an all-encompassing OS in which serving you ads and stockpiling your data is the sole goal on a scale that would make Facebook or Google flinch.

I predict we won't even need to visit websites anymore in a few years when everything is available on demand. Imagine OpenAI really starting to monetize ChatGPT like Google did with the search. The first step is already happening with "No click" on Google Search changing the SEO game
That's a good thing, really? You would trust openAI with your data?

I won't even use my real name with anything connected to publicly available AI.

Be left behind then :)
I'm cool with that.

..but going back to your original post, the "masterpiece" is ridiculous, and I don't see why anyone would want such a automatic situation. If I got an automated text reply from someone saying "can't talk, grinding", I'd probably block them. It's not a masterpiece, it's over-automated slop from someone wanting clicks...no one lives like that.

When I'm busy, I just don't reply. They can wait.
