ChatGPT apps were introduced on October 6
OpenAI lets third-party apps connect to ChatGPT via SDK
Once connected, ChatGPT can access these apps agentically

If you are a regular ChatGPT user, but use it only for platform-based features, then you're not really tapping into the potential of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. While OpenAI's AI platform is great at offering assistance via text or voice, generating images, and conducting research and analysis, it is also capable of connecting to several third-party apps and complete tasks directly on those platforms while you stay on ChatGPT's interface. Currently, users can connect to apps such as Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Google Drive, Spotify, and Zillow.

ChatGPT App Connectors: Details

OpenAI introduced Apps in ChatGPT on October 6 as a new feature that leverages agentic capabilities and Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). Essentially, the AI giant created a software development kit (SDK) that third-party apps and services can use to connect to ChatGPT. Once done, users will be able to access these platforms without leaving the chatbot.

After gaining permission, ChatGPT can also complete tasks on these platforms using specialised agents. For instance, users can ask ChatGPT to generate a specific Canva Project, and it will be able to share the final version. Users can also directly visit the editable design and make changes to it manually. This way, you can basically add a GPT-5-powered agentic AI assistant to any supported platform.
