Overview

• ChatGPT can now run third-party apps directly in conversations, invoked by name to create Spotify playlists, design in Canva, or pull Zillow listings without leaving the chat.
• Launch integrations include Spotify, Canva, Zillow, Figma, Coursera, Booking.com, and Expedia, with additional apps such as DoorDash and Uber expected later this year.
• An Apps SDK built on the Model Context Protocol enables interactive UIs and action triggers inside ChatGPT, with developer submissions and a public app directory slated for later this year.
• The rollout starts today for logged‑in users outside the European Union across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, with EU access planned at a later date.
• OpenAI also unveiled AgentKit for building autonomous agents and outlined privacy rules requiring explicit permissions and minimal data sharing, while saying monetization and instant checkout details will arrive soon; Spotify says its content will not be used to train OpenAI models.
