We Had a Poke Around ChatGPT's New App Store. Here's What We Found

OpenAI's new SDK enables developers to create interactive apps within ChatGPT, integrating services like Apple Music and DoorDash to enhance user experience.

  • On Wednesday evening, OpenAI launched an App Directory and opened an SDK so developers can build interactive experiences inside ChatGPT’s UI.
  • Aiming to become an 'everything app,' OpenAI framed the launch as progress toward connecting ChatGPT with services like Apple Music and DoorDash, with Sam Altman saying last month they plan to build the obvious platform features over time.
  • OpenAI renamed technical connectors into consumer-facing apps and categorized them as `apps with file search`, `apps with deep research`, and `apps with sync`.
  • New partner apps let users find music, make playlists with the Apple Music app, and turn recipes into shopping carts using the DoorDash app, while Spotify and Zillow expand into the UK, Switzerland, and the EU.
  • Apps may access Memory when enabled, and OpenAI may use data from Free, Plus, Go, and Pro users with `improve the model for everyone` enabled; OpenAI said it is exploring monetization options but has not explained profitability.
