New Delhi: OpenAI has recently rolled out an application directory within ChatGPT, turning the service into a more application-centric platform across iOS, Android, and the web. The latest section functions like an in-app store, enabling users to connect third-party services directly to ChatGPT and carry out tasks without leaving the chat interface. According to the company, these applications add external context and enable actions such as booking travel, managing files, or creating documents from prompts. The directory is organised into categories such as Featured, Lifestyle, and Productivity, and includes integrations with services like Booking.com, Spotify, and Dropbox.
Users can connect an application by selecting it, authorising access, and then interacting with it through chat, including via @ or / mentions. OpenAI has also simplified its terminology by renaming connector applications, such as Google Drive, to applications. With the latest integration, Apple Music users can ask ChatGPT to generate playlists based on simple prompts, such as creating a high-energy holiday rock mix or a workout playlist inspired by a TV show, and have the tracks compiled automatically. The feature also makes it easier to look up songs, albums, or artists using conversational queries when specific details aren’t precise.
To get started, users must first turn on the Apple Music application extension within ChatGPT by following some simple steps for the users:
- Open ChatGPT
- Open the Apps section in ChatGPT Settings
- Under Browse Apps, click or tap on Apple Music
- Connect your Apple Music account to ChatGPT
- Once done, users may return to the chat interface and start their messages with /Apple Music to let it answer their query.
