US EditionThe Connector Era Is over: You Can Now Submit ChatGPT Apps to OpenAI
OpenAI enables verified developers to submit apps through a review process, creating an interactive ChatGPT app ecosystem with 800M+ users and an official App Directory.
- On December 17, OpenAI opened submissions for third-party ChatGPT apps and launched an App Directory accessible from the sidebar and at chatgpt.com/apps, enabling 800 million+ users to discover new apps.
- Building on the GPT Store debut, OpenAI expanded pilot partners from a curated group to dozens and introduced the Apps SDK at DevDay in October to grow its developer ecosystem.
- Users can trigger apps by @ mentioning them or selecting them from the tools menu, and apps extend chats by pulling live data, rendering interfaces, or taking actions without leaving the chat.
- Developers submit apps via the OpenAI Developer Platform, where only one version is reviewed at a time and listings must meet quality, safety, and privacy standards with directory listing and testing guidance.
- OpenAI says it discloses data types and privacy policies when users connect apps, but it has not clarified data retention or training use, raising scrutiny as monetization limits remain.
