OpenAI is now accepting app submissions for review and publication in its popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT. This move aims to extend conversations with new context and enable users to take actions like ordering groceries or creating presentations.
Developers can submit apps by following the guidelines on the OpenAI website. The company has published resources to help developers build high-quality apps, including best practices for app design, open-source example apps, and a UI library for chat-native interfaces.
A new app directory will be introduced inside ChatGPT, allowing users to browse featured apps or search for any published app. Developers can share deep links on other platforms to send users directly to their app page in the directory.
To build a great ChatGPT app, developers should focus on designing for real user intent and using the Apps SDK to create chat-native experiences. The strongest apps are tightly scoped, intuitive in chat, and deliver clear value by completing real-world workflows or enabling new AI-native experiences.
App submissions will be reviewed and approved through the OpenAI Developer Platform, with the first set of approved apps rolling out gradually next year. Developers must follow safety, privacy, and transparency guidelines when submitting their apps, which must comply with OpenAI’s usage policies and adhere to third-party terms of service.
As the ecosystem grows, OpenAI plans to refine the experience for everyone, make apps easier to discover, and expand monetization options over time. This will enable users to move from ideas to action while building a thriving community of developers.
