How Integrations Work

OpenAI introduced a new "Apps and Connectors" section within ChatGPT settings, allowing users to browse a catalog of partner services and link their accounts. Once linked, users can start a conversation with ChatGPT and simply name the app at the beginning of a prompt. The assistant then guides the user through the requested action, whether it is creating a Spotify playlist, designing a Canva graphic, or adding groceries to a DoorDash cart.

Available Partners and Capabilities

The initial lineup includes a wide range of consumer and productivity tools. With Spotify, users can generate personalized playlists or add and remove tracks from their library. Canva integration lets users request designs such as slide decks, social media posts or posters, specifying fonts, colors and dimensions. Coursera helps locate online courses by skill level and compare options. DoorDash enables meal‑planning prompts that automatically populate a grocery cart for checkout.

Travel‑related partners like Booking.com and Expedia allow users to search for hotels, filter by amenities, and view flight options without leaving the chat. Zillow integration streamlines home searches by applying price, bedroom and neighborhood filters directly through text prompts. Figma lets users generate diagrams, flowcharts or product roadmaps that can be refined in the design tool.

Retail and mobility services are also covered. Target users can ask for gift ideas and add items to a shopping basket that can be purchased via Target’s checkout options. Uber integration supports on‑demand ride requests, while Uber Eats surfaces restaurant menus for ordering. Users can also explore listings on Zillow for real‑estate needs.

Privacy Controls and Data Sharing

Linking an account shares relevant data with ChatGPT to enable personalized actions. OpenAI advises users to review the permissions granted during the connection process. At any point, users can disconnect an app from the same Settings menu, revoking access and stopping data sharing.

Geographic Availability and Future Plans

The current rollout is restricted to the United States and Canada. Users in Europe and the United Kingdom do not have access at this time. Some integrations, such as DoorDash and Uber, are explicitly limited to U.S. users. OpenAI has indicated that additional partners—including OpenTable, PayPal and Walmart—are slated to join the ecosystem in the future.
