ChatGPT has launched its application directory, enabling you to link up with your preferred services without leaving the OpenAI ecosystem.

This indicates that the chatbot can now recommend applications or you can effortlessly access them (using the @ command) during discussions. For instance, by linking Adobe Photoshop to your account, you can utilize Photoshop tools for image requests, even if you do not possess an existing Photoshop account.

“Apps enhance ChatGPT conversations by introducing new context and enabling users to perform tasks like ordering groceries, transforming an outline into a slide deck, or looking for an apartment,” OpenAI mentioned in an announcement regarding the app directory.

Moreover, app developers can craft experiences within ChatGPT.

“Developers have the opportunity to utilize the Apps SDK — currently in beta — to design chat-native experiences that bring context and action straight into ChatGPT,” OpenAI clarified.

While some individuals have referred to the new Apps beta as a ChatGPT app store, it presently operates more as an app directory. However, OpenAI noted in its announcement’s “Looking Ahead” section that this tool could potentially “broaden the methods developers can connect with users and monetize their creations.”

Applications will be incorporated gradually. Here’s a glimpse of some applications now available in ChatGPT. You can also investigate the directory at chatgpt.com/apps.
