OpenAI has rolled out a major update for ChatGPT. The company has introduced multi-app integrations that allow users to directly interact with popular services like Spotify, Canva, Figma, and several others, all without leaving the chat window.
Announcing the update on X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI said, “You can now chat with apps in ChatGPT.”
With this new capability, users can now perform a variety of cross-platform tasks, such as creating Spotify playlists, designing visuals in Canva, or editing Figma files, right from within ChatGPT. This marks a significant step forward in transforming ChatGPT from a simple AI chatbot into a multi-functional productivity platform.

Spotify – Users can ask ChatGPT to create or edit playlists, find specific songs, or even recommend music based on mood or activity. Sten Garmark, Spotify’s SVP and Global Head of Consumer Experience, shared his excitement about the partnership. Garmark note, “Spotify’s vision has always been to be everywhere you are. By bringing Spotify into ChatGPT, we’re creating a powerful new way for fans to connect with the artists and creators they love conversationally, whenever inspiration strikes.”

New Apps SDK for Developers
Alongside these integrations, OpenAI has also introduced a preview of its new Apps SDK, which will enable third-party developers to build custom integrations for ChatGPT. The SDK is built on Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) and comes with developer documentation with broader access expected later this year.
