OpenAI’s latest features take direct aim at the app store model
OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT as the place where apps are found, opened, used, and handed off to agents.
TechCrunch says the Dev Day announcements combine app suggestions inside ChatGPT, richer plugin extensions, “Sign in with ChatGPT,” and an enterprise marketplace. Developers can build interactive app surfaces inside the chat, while users can carry their ChatGPT identity and AI allowance into some third-party tools. OpenAI also described Dots, autonomous agents with cloud computers and browsers that can use connected apps with user approval. The piece notes one missing layer: OpenAI did not announce app-store-style billing or revenue sharing.
