It recently became possible to shop directly within ChatGPT, and now OpenAI has announced via blog post that it has further upgraded the AI chatbot’s integration with external services. ChatGPT can now chat with other apps, but only in English for now.

In other words, ChatGPT will now be able to ask other apps to do things on your behalf, such as booking a suitable hotel room or creating a playlist for that upcoming weekend party. You’ll be able to direct yourself to specific apps by mentioning them in the chat, but ChatGPT will also be able to suggest suitable apps for your requests.

For now, ChatGPT only supports external communication with these apps: Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Figma, Spotify, and Zillow. However, OpenAI has released the development tools for app integration, and the AI chatbot will support more apps later this year, including Trip Advisor, Uber, and Khan Academy.

The new feature will initially not be available in the EU, but OpenAI says it expects to launch the feature there soon.
