A New Way to Interact With Your Favorite Apps - OpenAI has officially taken ChatGPT to the next level — you can now use apps like Spotify, Canva, Expedia, and more directly within the chatbot. This new capability, powered by OpenAI's Apps SDK, allows developers to integrate their services so ChatGPT can interact with them naturally during conversations.

Imagine chatting with ChatGPT and saying, "Create a party playlist on Spotify," or "Find a cozy hotel in Penang through Booking.com" — and it just does it. That's the kind of seamless experience this update brings.

Which Apps Are Supported?

At launch, OpenAI confirmed integrations with several major apps, including:

These apps can be accessed simply by mentioning their names in your ChatGPT conversation. Once ChatGPT detects a supported app, it will surface that app automatically and use your chat context to generate relevant results or actions.

How It Works

Using an integrated app inside ChatGPT feels intuitive and conversational. For instance, you might say:

When ChatGPT recognizes one of the integrated apps, it fetches the data or performs the task through that app — without you ever leaving the chat window.

If it's your first time using an app, ChatGPT will ask you to connect your account, explaining what data will be shared. This step ensures transparency and gives users control over their linked integrations.

Privacy, Control, and Transparency

One of the biggest questions with AI app integration is privacy — who has access to what?

Spotify has already clarified this in an official statement. The company emphasized that this feature is opt-in only — meaning you must choose to connect your account, and you can disconnect at any time.

Spotify also made it clear that none of its audio content, including music, podcasts, or videos, will be shared with OpenAI for training purposes. In other words, your playlists and listening habits stay private.

The company did, however, note that this is still an early-stage rollout, with plans to improve the experience over time.

ChatGPT's Next Steps: More Apps Coming Soon

OpenAI isn't stopping here. The company confirmed that more app integrations are on the way later this year. Upcoming partners include DoorDash, Khan Academy, and Tripadvisor, expanding ChatGPT's functionality into food delivery, education, and travel planning.

This feature is available now for logged-in ChatGPT users outside of the EU who are on the Free, Go, Plus, or Pro plans.

Why This Matters

This marks a major shift in how we interact with AI tools. ChatGPT is no longer just a text-based assistant — it's becoming a central hub for your daily digital life, capable of coordinating tasks across multiple services.

Whether you're creating designs on Canva, curating playlists on Spotify, or planning a trip — ChatGPT aims to make it all happen in one unified place.

It's a glimpse into the future of AI-assisted productivity, where conversations replace clicks and natural language becomes the new interface for everything you do online.
