ChatGPT Transforms into Digital Assistant, Integrating Apps Like Spotify and Canva
OpenAI has revealed ambitious plans to transform ChatGPT into a full-fledged digital assistant. Starting today, users can connect to various apps directly within the chatbot, marking the beginning of a new generation of apps in ChatGPT.
During OpenAI's recent Dev Day, live demos showcased how ChatGPT can now interact with apps like Spotify and Canva. Users can generate playlists or design posters based on their inputs. OpenAI aims to allow developers to submit their own apps for review and publication within ChatGPT, with a dedicated app directory for users to discover and install integrations.
ChatGPT will prompt users for permission the first time an app is connected. Once approved, it can use that app freely in future chats. OpenAI has already partnered with companies like Expedia and Kayak, enabling ChatGPT to book travels or perform tasks in over 5,000 apps. While services like DoorDash and Uber are not yet integrated, OpenAI is working towards expanding its partnerships and regularly publishes updates on new integrations.
OpenAI's vision for ChatGPT as a comprehensive digital assistant is becoming a reality. With the ability to connect to various apps and services, users can now do more than ever within the chatbot. While services like DoorDash and Uber are not yet integrated, OpenAI's commitment to user-friendly all-day integration suggests that such functions could be possible in the future. Users are encouraged to keep an eye on OpenAI's official channels for the latest updates and to share their interest in specific integrations.
