OpenAI just announced in a blog post that you can now connect ChatGPT with even more apps. In fact, OpenAI has also opened things up for developers to submit their own apps for review, which can then be published in ChatGPT’s app library.
You’ll be able to access the ChatGPT app store via the Apps button in the sidebar of ChatGPT. The apps in the store are divided into Featured, Lifestyle, and Productivity categories. Once you’ve linked an app to the chatbot, you’ll be able to use it by typing @appname in your ChatGPT conversations, and the app in question will then be able to help you with things like booking reservations and ordering food.

Developers can also now link ChatGPT apps to their own external websites or apps to fulfill purchases of physical goods. OpenAI is working on adding support for the purchases of digital products, too.
