Popular apps like Spotify and Canva will now be available in OpenAI, see the full list
OpenAI has added some new popular apps to ChatGPT. Users can now use apps like Spotify, Canva, and Zillow directly from text prompts in the chatbot. This aims to make it easier to use without having to switch between different apps.
What is the purpose of OpenAI's app integration?
This app integration from OpenAI aims to allow users to do more within ChatGPT without having to switch between different websites or apps. For example, you can now ask ChatGPT to create a playlist on Spotify, design a poster on Canva, or view rental listings on Zillow, all within a single chat conversation.
What do I need to do to use new apps in ChatGPT?
To use these new tools in ChatGPT, users must first connect their app account to ChatGPT. They can then begin giving instructions using appropriate prompts during their chat. For example, you could say, "Spotify, create a playlist for my morning walk." ChatGPT will create a playlist based on your preferences. Or you could say, "Canva, design an endorsement post for my bakery." The chatbot will then instantly generate a design preview. Spotify says that while this experience isn't fully developed yet, they'll continue to work on improving it over the coming weeks and months.
Users will be able to use apps like Figma-Zillow
Figma integration lets you ask for suggestions on diagrams or charts. You can also edit them directly in Figma by clicking the 'Edit in Figma' button. Similarly, the Zillow app helps you find homes near you, view budget-friendly listings, photos, maps, and price details. You can ask ChatGPT to find a three-bedroom house with a garden near Delhi. The chatbot will display a complete listing, complete with prices, photos, and maps. The company is soon adding features like 3D tours and new construction listings. Similarly, Coursera makes learning skills easier. ChatGPT can now recommend online courses, videos, and study materials directly from Coursera's database based on user discussions.
How developers can monetize their apps
Later this year, OpenAI plans to open submissions for developers who want to build their own apps for ChatGPT. The company will review the submissions before publishing them in the new app directory. Once the guidelines are finalized, developers will be able to monetize their apps. According to OpenAI, apps like Uber, Tripadvisor, DoorDash, Instacart, Peloton, and AllTrails will soon be added to ChatGPT. This will allow users to book cabs, order food, book restaurants, and even plan trips abroad.
