ChatGPT to evolve into an AI operating system as OpenAI opens doors to third-party apps

From InfoWorld: OpenAI has launched apps inside ChatGPT, a new feature allowing users to discover and use third-party applications directly within the chat interface.

ChatGPT can suggest relevant apps during a conversation, or users can invoke them by name, enabling tasks like browsing data, generating visuals, booking services, or accessing productivity and enterprise tools, without leaving the chat.

“Today, we are going to open up ChatGPT for developers to build real apps inside of ChatGPT. This will enable a new generation of apps that are interactive, adaptive, and personalized that you can chat with,” Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said during OpenAI’s Developer Day keynote.

The initial pilot includes apps from Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow in English for logged-in users outside the EU across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans. Additional partners and EU availability are planned later this year.
