ChatGPT can now interact with multiple apps, including Spotify, Canva, Figma, Booking.com, Coursera, Expedia, and Zillow. Users can access these integrations by starting their prompt with the app name followed by a command. The integration works in English in markets where these companies operate. A new Apps SDK is also available for third-party developers to create custom integrations with ChatGPT, with broader access planned for later this year.

OpenAI has announced significant advancements in its ChatGPT platform, aimed at enhancing user interaction and developer capabilities. At this year's Dev Day, the company introduced the Apps SDK and AgentKit, tools that enable third-party developers to build and deploy apps and AI agents directly within ChatGPT.

The Apps SDK allows developers to create interactive apps that run inside ChatGPT, integrating seamlessly with the chat interface. These apps can support full-screen mode and pass context to the language model, enabling a more immersive user experience. The SDK builds on OpenAI's Model Component Protocol (MCP), offering features such as HTML rendering, login, and a payment protocol. At launch, apps from Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow are available, with DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, and Uber set to follow. The integration supports signed-in users outside the EU on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, with EU support planned for later this year Developers can now build and deploy both apps and agents directly on the ChatGPT platform^[1].

Additionally, OpenAI has introduced AgentKit, a toolkit for developing, deploying, and optimizing AI agents. The core feature is the Agent Builder, a visual tool for assembling workflows with drag-and-drop functionality. Other components include ChatKit for chat interfaces, Evals for testing, and a Connector Registry for managing data access across workspaces.
