ChatGPT Store Launches – AI Apps Now Open for All
OpenAI has officially opened the doors to its ChatGPT Store, letting developers submit apps for review and publication. This move marks a major step in expanding the chatbot’s ecosystem, bringing new tools and capabilities directly into ChatGPT conversations.
From Big Names to New Players
When apps first arrived in ChatGPT in October, major platforms like Expedia, Spotify, Zillow, and Canva quickly joined in. Their integrations let users book trips, stream music, search homes, or design graphics without leaving a chat. Now, OpenAI is inviting any developer to bring their ideas and solutions to millions of ChatGPT users worldwide.
What You Can Do Inside ChatGPT Store
Apps in the ChatGPT Store extend conversations with extra context and direct actions. Users can:
- Order groceries through integrated delivery services
- Turn an outline into a ready‑to‑share slide deck
- Search for an apartment without leaving the chat
- Book travel and experiences instantly
This means ChatGPT moves from being just a smart assistant to becoming a fully interactive AI hub.
Developer Tools Already in Beta
OpenAI’s Apps SDK, still in beta, gives developers ready‑made tools to build unique experiences. After development, they can submit apps through the OpenAI Developer Platform. From there, they can track approval status and update their app just like in any other traditional app store.
Approved apps will roll out progressively in the coming year, giving users more choices and keeping them engaged longer.
Why This Matters
This launch is more than just another feature. It’s about creating an AI marketplace that blends productivity, entertainment, and everyday utilities — all inside one interface. For users, it means less switching between apps and more instant results inside conversations.
