On Wednesday evening, OpenAI launched its Apps Guide to browse all the tools currently available and It has opened its SDK to developers To build new interactive experiences that work within the robot’s user interface. “We plan to build out the clear features you expect from a robust platform over time,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said last month, and opening an app store is certainly a big step in that direction.
Another change is that OpenAI has renamed the “connectors” that helped users pull data from other services (like Google Drive or Dropbox) into ChatGPT, and now they connect to those applications as well. your Support page He explains that chat connectors are now “apps with file search,” deep search connectors are now “apps with deep search,” and synchronous connectors are now “apps with sync.” It also states that apps may use information from memory, if enabled, and for Free, Plus, Go, and Pro ChatGPT users, OpenAI may use the information to train its models if the user has “Optimize model for all” enabled.
However, for something more interactive, you can look to ChatGPT apps like the one launched in October for Spotify, Zillow and other services, some of which are now available in more markets, like Spotify on ChatGPT, which now works “in the UK, Switzerland and throughout the EU.” New additions include the Apple Music app, which can help all users find music or create playlists and manage subscribers’ music libraries from within the chatbot, and DoorDash, which can turn “recipe inspiration, meal planning, and weekly staples into an actionable shopping cart” in the same window.
The answer to how all of this will help OpenAI turn its AI business into something profitable is something it has yet to explain. The announcement only says “We are exploring additional monetization options over time, including digital goods, and will share more as we learn from how developers and users build and engage.”
