OpenAI正在将Spotify和Zillow等应用直接引入ChatGPT，并计划在今年晚些时候开放开发者提交应用，同时将推出应用变现功能。此举标志着ChatGPT正朝着一个功能更丰富的应用商店模式发展，Sam Altman称ChatGPT目前拥有8亿周活跃用户。用户可以通过自然语言与这些应用互动，例如让Spotify创建歌单或让Zillow展示特定房产。OpenAI还将推出一个应用目录，并对设计和功能表现优异的应用给予更高曝光度。首批合作应用包括Booking.com、Canva、Coursera等，未来还将有更多应用加入。

🚀 ChatGPT正转型为应用平台：OpenAI宣布将第三方应用（如Spotify、Zillow）集成到ChatGPT中，使其功能更加丰富多样，用户可以通过自然语言与这些应用互动，完成如创建歌单、查询房产信息等任务。

🛍️ 打造AI应用商店生态：OpenAI计划在今年晚些时候开放开发者提交应用，并推出应用变现机制，这预示着一个专门为AI打造的应用商店正在形成，有望为开发者提供新的增长机遇。

🌐 提升用户体验与平台价值：通过引入应用，ChatGPT将能提供更个性化、交互性更强的服务，进一步巩固其作为领先AI助手的地位。同时，一个应用目录的推出将帮助用户发现和使用各类实用工具，提升整体用户体验。

💼 潜在的行业颠覆者：OpenAI此举可能对现有的应用商店巨头，如苹果和谷歌，构成挑战，预示着AI驱动的应用分发和商业模式可能带来新的竞争格局。

OpenAI is bringing apps like Spotify and Zillow directly inside ChatGPT.Developers can submit their own apps later this year, and monetization is coming.With this move, OpenAI could challenge app store stalwarts Apple and Google.

OpenAI is building its own version of an app store, a move that could threaten industry stalwarts like Apple and Google.

At its DevDay event on Monday, the AI giant announced it's bringing apps inside ChatGPT — which CEO Sam Altman said now has 800 million weekly users. OpenAI also unveiled an app software development kit (SDK) that allows developers to build their own apps for ChatGPT. These features all allow ChatGPT to function more like an app store.

The first time users mention an app in ChatGPT, they'll be prompted to connect and choose what data to share. Users can chat with apps using natural language — such as asking Spotify to create a playlist or Zillow to display specific types of properties — with the results appearing in ChatGPT.

"This will enable a new generation of apps that are interactive, adaptive, and personalized — that you can chat with," Altman said. "We hope this will be a big deal for helping developers rapidly scale products."

OpenAI said it will accept app submissions for "review and publication" later this year, when it will also offer "details on how developers can monetize their apps." This will include OpenAI's new commerce functionality, Altman said, which allows users to buy things on ChatGPT.

App stores, which generate revenue by taking a cut of purchases, have become a substantial source of income for both Apple and Google.

In addition, OpenAI is launching a directory where users can browse apps, and those that "meet higher standards for design and functionality" will be featured more prominently both in the directory and in ChatGPT, Altman said.

App partners at launch include Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow. More will roll out later this year, including AllTrails, Khan Academy, Instacart, Peloton, Target, Tripadvisor, and Uber, the company said.
