Summary
- ChatGPT has launched an app platform with beta features.
- Well-known digital tools like Photoshop and Spotify are now apps within ChatGPT.
- Users connect to apps via a 'Connect' button instead of downloading them.
OpenAI has rolled out its long-awaited app platform for ChatGPT, marking a significant expansion for the popular chatbot. Announced just two months after the beta feature and development kit were revealed, this new platform allows a curated selection of digital tools to function as apps within the ChatGPT interface. Users can now directly integrate services such as Adobe Photoshop, Spotify, and Canva, transforming how they interact with the AI.
The app platform, which began appearing in the desktop version of ChatGPT on December 18, 2025, aims to enhance user experience by bringing familiar functionalities into the chatbot environment. While availability on mobile apps remains uncertain, the desktop version already hosts apps categorized under "Featured," "Lifestyle," and "Productivity." Users discover and enable these apps by clicking a "Connect" button, granting ChatGPT access to their features.
Accessing an app's capabilities is initiated through an '@' prompt, streamlining the workflow for tasks like content creation, as exemplified by Canva's prompt for generating a 2025 wrap presentation. This innovative approach bypasses traditional app downloads, offering a more integrated experience. Users can manage connected apps through the settings menu, finding them under "Connected Apps" or "Data Controls."
