What’s happened? OpenAI debuted an innovative ChatGPT feature last month that allows users to interact with third-party apps directly within the chatbot. The feature initially launched with support for a handful of apps, including Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow. OpenAI has now announced two new additions to that lineup.
- In a recent post on X, the company revealed that Peloton and Tripadvisor are now available as apps within ChatGPT.
- With these new integrations, users can ask questions like, “Peloton can you recommend workouts for marathon training” or “Tripadvisor find me a hotel in New York City for 2 adults, around $300 a night this weekend.”
- ChatGPT will then pull data directly from these apps to deliver workout and hotel recommendations in the chat interface.
Why is this important? OpenAI is steadily expanding ChatGPT’s roster of supported apps to make it a one-stop destination for getting things done.
- With the latest additions, users can now ask the chatbot for workout or hotel recommendations and get relevant information directly from Peloton and Tripadvisor.
- This not only delivers a more conversational search experience but also helps users save time and effort by eliminating the need to switch between different apps to get answers to their queries.
Why should I care? If you already use ChatGPT for workout tips or travel planning, this integration lets you pull information straight from Peloton and Tripadvisor.
- It will also save you time, as you no longer have to juggle multiple apps to manage workouts or plan trips.
- Using this feature, you’ll also get richer, more accurate results, since ChatGPT pulls information directly from these apps instead of generic web sources.
What’s next? You can interact with the Peloton and Tripadvisor apps in ChatGPT starting today. Like the previously released apps, they’re available to all users irrespective of whether they’re on the free tier or subscribed to ChatGPT Go, Plus, or Pro. OpenAI has already released the SDK to help more developers bring their apps to ChatGPT, and the lineup of supported apps is expected to grow substantially in the coming weeks.
