ChatGPT App Store Launched: Search Rentals, Order Groceries, and Boost Productivity Without Leaving the Chat

OpenAI has launched a dedicated ChatGPT App Store, allowing users to seamlessly integrate popular apps like Adobe, Canva, and Google Drive directly into their chat experience. With this new feature, users can search for apartments, order groceries, or create presentations—all without leaving the conversation. The apps don’t need to be installed; users simply authorize them with a Connect button. This feature is accessible via chatgpt.com/apps on the web or through the profile section in the ChatGPT mobile app.

Enhancing Productivity While Chatting
The app store allows ChatGPT users to leverage app functionalities in real time. For instance, if you’re looking for a rental, ChatGPT can search listings during your chat. Grocery orders can be placed directly, and rough outlines can instantly be converted into slide decks or presentations. Apps are categorized under Featured, Lifestyle, and Productivity sections for easier navigation.

How to Use the ChatGPT App Store

1. Web users: Visit chatgpt.com/apps. Click the Connect button for the app you want to use.
2. Mobile users: Open the ChatGPT app and go to Profile → Apps. Browse and connect to your desired app.
3. Once connected, the app will appear in the chat interface. Simply type @ followed by the app name to use its features during conversation.

Smart Suggestions and Upgraded Features
OpenAI is also developing a feature that will automatically suggest the most relevant app based on your conversation. Additionally, older connectors have been renamed—for example, Google Drive and Dropbox features now appear as Apps with file search or Apps with sync.

Privacy and Data Security
The company emphasizes that apps can access ChatGPT’s memory feature to enhance functionality. If users have opted to help improve AI models, their data may be used for training future versions, ensuring both privacy and performance are maintained.

This new app ecosystem brings ChatGPT one step closer to becoming an all-in-one productivity assistant, allowing users to complete multiple tasks seamlessly without switching platforms.
