Summary

OpenAI has introduced new features that allow developers to create app-like experiences directly within ChatGPT. These plugin extensions will reside in the ChatGPT sidebar, providing users with dedicated interactive panels and file viewers that support various file formats.
The company is simplifying the development process with a new Plugin Creator tool and a redesigned submission flow for the plugin directory. Enhancements have also been made to how plugins are ranked and recommended to users, with individual approval needed for access needs.
These plugin extensions can also be hosted on ChatGPT Sites, enabling users to share their applications with colleagues. Furthermore, OpenAI is adding support for the MCP Events specification, which will allow plugins to initiate automations based on events in connected applications, further streamlining workflows.
