OpenAI is revolutionizing the ChatGPT experience by enabling developers to seamlessly integrate their applications. This move, showcased at DevDay 2025, allows users to access and leverage various apps directly within their ChatGPT conversations, enhancing functionality and convenience. Imagine designing a presentation with Canva, searching for a home on Zillow, or booking travel through Expedia – all within the familiar ChatGPT interface. Initial launch partners include Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow, with plans to incorporate DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, and Uber in the near future. This follows the recent integration of Etsy purchases, solidifying ChatGPT’s connection with the broader web. Developers can now access the Software Development Kit (SDK) in preview to begin building integrations. OpenAI plans to introduce a formal app submission process, a review system, and a dedicated app directory later this year, as announced by CEO Sam Altman. Further details regarding monetization strategies for developers are anticipated shortly.
