OpenAI makes it easier for ChatGPT users to connect with third-party apps within the chatbot to complete tasks, the company’s latest bid to transform its flagship product into a key gateway for digital services.
With the new option, revealed Monday during Openai’s annual developer event, a Chatgpt user can request to create a playlist for the weekend and the app will connect with Spotify to make suggestions. Alternatively, a user can search for a three-bedroom home in a specific neighborhood on Zillow, without leaving the Chatgpt app. Other apps, including Figma, Expedia and Booking.com, are also available. The feature, which Openai calls “talk to apps,” requires users to log into apps the first time.
