OpenAI Launches ChatGPT App Directory as Apple Music Goes Live

OpenAI is using a new in‑chat directory to turn ChatGPT into an action platform through third‑party apps.

Overview

  • Apple Music is now an app inside ChatGPT, enabling catalog search and preview clips for all users, with subscribers able to create playlists and add songs or albums to their libraries.
  • OpenAI’s app directory is live across web, iOS, and desktop, letting users connect services and invoke them via an @mention or the Apps picker in chat.
  • The Apple Music integration observes stated privacy limits, with no read access to listening history or existing playlists and permission only to add new content.
  • Developers can submit apps for review using the Apps SDK, now in beta, with OpenAI providing guidelines, example apps, and a UI library; monetization currently relies on linking out.
  • The launch follows a brief premature mention of Apple Music in an OpenAI post earlier this week before the integration was officially released.
