At its DevDay, OpenAI demonstrated a new feature that lets users work with third-party applications directly within ChatGPT conversations. Users can tag apps like Canva (to design posters) or Zillow (to search for homes) while ChatGPT provides context and advice throughout the process. The initial launch includes apps from Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow, with DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, and Uber coming in the following weeks. Developers can access the new Apps Software Developer Kit in preview today, with app submission for review opening later this year alongside a browsable app directory. CEO Sam Altman says OpenAI plans to share monetization guidance soon. (OpenAI and The Verge)
