ChatGPT to evolve into an AI operating system as OpenAI opens doors to third-party apps
"With its new Apps SDK built on the Model Context Protocol, developers can build data-connected apps that live within ChatGPT. OpenAI has launched apps inside ChatGPT, a new feature allowing users to discover and use third-party applications directly within the chat interface. ChatGPT can suggest relevant apps during a conversation, or users can invoke them by name, enabling tasks like browsing data, generating visuals, booking services, or accessing productivity and enterprise tools, without leaving the chat."
""This move effectively positions ChatGPT as an AI operating system or conversational runtime, letting users discover, invoke, and interact with multiple mini-apps and services entirely within a chat-driven interface," said Pareekh Jain, CEO at EIIRTrend & Pareekh Consulting. "It is edging closer to an OS-like layer for tasks and services." "Traditional operating systems organize processes; ChatGPT organizes purpose. Each command is understood and acted upon through intent, not syntax," said Sanchit Vir Gogia, CEO and chief analyst at Greyhound Research."
Developers can build data-connected applications that run inside ChatGPT using a new Apps SDK built on the Model Context Protocol. Users can discover and invoke third-party apps within conversations, enabling browsing data, generating visuals, booking services, and accessing productivity and enterprise tools without leaving chat. The initial pilot includes partners such as Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow for logged-in users outside the EU across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans. ChatGPT can act as an ambient AI operating layer where mini-apps transact and interact within chat threads, with wider availability planned.
