OpenAI issued an app feature yesterday that includes, as initial pilots, Coursera, Canva, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, Zillow, and Booking.com, which will be integrated into ChatGPT.
Developers will be able to start building and adding apps “later this year” with an open-source Apps SDK, initially as a preview mode. This framework is built on the MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that enables ChatGPT to connect to external tools and data.
Apps expected soon include Khan Academy, Instacart, OpenTable, DoorDash, Peloton, Uber, TripAdvisor, TheFork, Thumbtack, Target, and AllTrails.
In the ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans, the apps will also be launched “later this year,” according to the company.
These apps will be supported by a new Agentic Commerce Protocol, an open standard that enables instant checkout in ChatGPT.
Yesterday, during the same Dev Day event, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced AgentKit, a toolkit for building blocks of AI agents.
AgentKit includes ChatKit, a simple embeddable chat interface for developers, along with tools to measure agents’ performance and other features.
Christina Huang, an OpenAI engineer, built an entire AI workflow and two AI agents live onstage in under eight minutes, as shown in the video below.
OpenAI announced the general availability of Codex, along with a Slack integration, an SDK, and new admin tools for monitoring and analytics dashboards.
Finally, the San Francisco-based lab introduced API updates, including GPT-5 Pro, Sora 2 in preview, and gpt-realtime-mini, a voice model that is 70% cheaper than gpt-realtime.
