ChatGPT has launched an app directory that allows users to integrate third-party services directly into their conversations. With this feature, chatbots can suggest and access apps using the @ command, enhancing user experience. For example, integrating Adobe Photoshop lets users access its tools without needing an account.
OpenAI’s announcement states that this app directory enables users to perform various actions, such as ordering groceries, creating presentations, or finding apartments. Developers can also build chat-native experiences using the beta Apps SDK. Although some refer to it as an "app store," it is currently more of a directory, with plans for future expansion.
Current apps available include:
- Spotify – Launch music for various occasions.
- Apple Music – Similar to Spotify.
- DoorDash – For accurate recipe-related deliveries.
- Instacart – Similar to DoorDash functionality.
- TripAdvisor – Book trips directly through ChatGPT.
- Expedia – Similar to TripAdvisor.
- Target – Purchase recommended products.
- Jiro (Zillow) – Schedule tours for housing options.
More apps will be added over time, and the integration could significantly influence daily user interactions. For a complete list of apps, visit the ChatGPT app directory.
