ChatGPT App Store launches — Apple Music joins 50+ apps
OpenAI has officially launched the ChatGPT App Store, debuting with more than 50 third‑party applications available directly inside ChatGPT. Among the initial integrations, Apple Music is confirmed — enabling subscribers to discover tracks and control basic playback from within the chat interface.
The App Store aims to extend ChatGPT beyond text, letting users run services, fetch content and perform tasks without leaving the conversation. Developers can publish integrations that users enable by linking accounts and granting permissions.
Quick facts
- Launch size: 50+ apps across categories including music, productivity and utilities.
- Apple Music: In‑chat discovery and playback control for linked Apple Music accounts.
- How to try: Visit chat.openai.com to explore available apps.
Why it matters
Embedding popular services like Apple Music into ChatGPT reduces friction for common tasks and creates a single conversational surface for apps and AI. For users, that can speed up workflows or make casual interactions (like finding a song) feel seamless. For developers, the App Store is a new distribution channel that surfaces services inside chat‑driven experiences.
That convenience comes with concerns: account linking, authentication flows and data permissions vary by app. Users should review what an integration can access and how it handles data before connecting personal accounts.
What to watch next
- Catalog growth — which major apps arrive next and how quickly the store expands.
- Developer policies and revenue terms that determine who can publish and how apps behave.
- User adoption — whether integrated apps change how people use ChatGPT day‑to‑day.
