OpenAI has launched new integrations that plug controls for other apps directly inside ChatGPT, letting you call them up to make a playlist in Spotify or search for local real estate listings on Zillow without leaving the chatbot.  It’s a bit like the “mini” apps that messaging platforms like Telegram and Discord have embedded inside their platforms, or the extensions that bring controls for music players to your iPhone’s Dynamic Island, but with an AI twist. With the integrations, you can continue talking to ChatGPT while providing instructions about how you’d like it to interact with an app.Several services have already started piloting built-in app interfaces for ChatGPT, and we’ve rounded them up below.

Spotify

Spotify’s ChatGPT integration lets you link your account to the AI chatbot, and from there, you can do things like search for an artist’s newest album or prompt it to generate a playlist featuring your favorite alternative rock bands. You can also ask Spotify for music or podcast recommendations based on a conversation you’ve had with ChatGPT, and it’ll return a list of tracks that you can tap into and listen to from the Spotify app.Spotify notes that free users can source music from playlists already available in the app, like New Music Friday and Discover Weekly, while Premium users can generate a “fresh and fully personalized selection of tracks.”

Canva

The Canva app in ChatGPT lets you create, preview, and edit your designs directly from the chatbot’s interface. Now, you can call upon Canva from within ChatGPT and ask something like, “Create an Instagram post for our upcoming sale.” From there, Canva in ChatGPT will generate full-screen design previews that you can refine further with prompts to tweak text or fit a specific theme. Once you’re happy with the design, you can take it into Canva to continue editing.

Figma

Like ChatGPT’s integration with Canva, Figma’s app can also help make diagrams based on files that you have on your computer, suggest edits to existing charts, as well as brainstorm different ways to visualize certain pieces of information. You can jump into editing the chart or diagram with Figma by selecting the “Edit in Figma” b***on.

Zillow

Even Zillow is rolling out a ChatGPT app of its own that taps into its database of real estate listings to find properties that match your preferences. Now, you can ask ChatGPT things like, “What homes can I afford nearby?” or tell it to “Show me homes with a big backyard,” and Zillow’s integration will offer up listings with photos, maps, and pricing.Zillow’s ChatGPT app currently supports rentals and homes for sale by owners and real estate agents, but the company says it plans on adding other features, like new-construction listings and 3D tours, to the integration as well.

Expedia

ChatGPT has already become a handy tool for trip planning, but now you can take things further with an Expedia integration that lets you ask ChatGPT for specific types of stays, such as a “hotel room in New York for under $400 in November.” The Expedia app will then provide a list of hotels matching that description, along with flight options, a map of your destination, and “dynamic” price and availability information.Booking.com has also launched a similar ChatGPT integration.

Coursera

Coursera is launching a ChatGPT app that you can use to access videos and information from the online learning platform. You can call upon Coursera to teach you with information about a specific topic, but ChatGPT may also recommend content from the site during your conversations with the AI chatbot.

Apps coming soon

There are several other apps that OpenAI has confirmed are coming to ChatGPT, including Uber, DoorDash, Instacart, OpenTable, Target, Peloton, Tripadvisor, and AllTrails. The apps currently aren’t available for users in the European Union. OpenAI will also start allowing a wider range of developers to submit apps of their own later this year, which will appear in a directory that users can browse. The company’s app design guidelines say apps must “feel consistent, useful, and trustworthy while extending ChatGPT in ways that add real value,” with examples that include services for booking a ride, ordering food, checking availability, or tracking deliveries. It notes that developers shouldn’t use apps for long-form content, complex workflows, ads, or “irrelevant messaging.”
