OpenAI has launched<\/a> an app store for ChatGPT, allowing developers to deploy their own products within the chatbot by submitting an application.<\/p>\n

The first approved solutions will be available in 2026. The most popular tools may receive priority in search results or recommendations from the AI.<\/p>\n

Users can explore available options in the app catalog, located in the “Tools” menu or on the website chatgpt.com\/apps.<\/p>\n

Developers can place direct links on external platforms to redirect users straight to the app page in the catalog.<\/p>\n

Once connected, applications are activated during dialogue using @. The company is experimenting with displaying them without mentions \u2014 based on the conversation context, usage patterns of third-party solutions, and user preferences.<\/p>\n

To create such integrations, OpenAI has introduced the Apps SDK. This toolkit allows for embedding context and active actions directly into the ChatGPT interface.<\/p>\n

“The most powerful apps have a clear focus, are intuitive in chat, and provide clear value, either by completing real workflows that start with a discussion or by creating new, fully AI-oriented opportunities within ChatGPT,” the startup’s blog states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the early stages, developers will be allowed to redirect users to external resources for the payment of physical goods. Additional monetization options are being explored.<\/p>\n

“Over time, we want apps in ChatGPT to be perceived as a natural extension of dialogue \u2014 helping people move from ideas to actions and forming a sustainable ecosystem for developers,” noted OpenAI.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In October, Sam Altman’s company introduced<\/a> the ability to create apps within ChatGPT. This enabled users to interact directly with services like Booking.com, Expedia, Spotify, Figma, Coursera, Zillow, Canva, and others.<\/p>\n

In December, the chatbot added<\/a> tools from Adobe: Photoshop, Acrobat, and Express. Users can create designs and edit images and PDF files directly within the chatbot interface.<\/p>\n

Code Red \u2014 Not a New Phenomenon<\/h2>\n

Competition from Google and other AI companies prompted Altman to declare a “code red.”<\/p>\n
