OpenAI Integrates Third-Party Apps Into ChatGPT, Enabling Direct Access to Booking, Spotify, and Figma Services
Summary
OpenAI revolutionizes ChatGPT by integrating third-party apps from Booking.com, Spotify, Figma, and others, allowing users to directly access external services through natural language commands within conversations, though privacy concerns emerge over data sharing with developers.
Key Points
- OpenAI launches interactive applications inside ChatGPT from companies like Booking.com, Expedia, Spotify, Figma, Coursera, Zillow, and Canva, allowing users to access third-party services directly within conversations
- Users can call up apps by typing their names or asking natural language questions, such as 'Figma, turn this sketch into a workable diagram' or 'Coursera, can you teach me something about machine learning'
- ChatGPT automatically surfaces relevant apps when helpful and will support monetization features in the future, though privacy concerns remain about how much user conversation data third-party developers can access
