OpenAI's DevDay 2026 announcements to turn ChatGPT into a place to discover, launch, and use software could potentially disrupt the traditional app store model (Sarah Perez/TechCrunch)

It notes the event’s bigger attention was on Dots and new AI models, but argues the combined platform moves are the more disruptive part. Techmeme's note
