OpenAI recently released new app integrations to ChatGPT to allow you to connect your accounts directly to ChatGPT and ask the assistant to do things for you. For example, with a Spotify integration, you can tell it to create personalized playlists that will appear directly in the Spotify app.
To get started, make sure you’re logged into ChatGPT. Then type the name of the app you want to use at the beginning of your message and ChatGPT will guide you through logging in and connecting your account.
If you want to set everything up at once, go to the Settings menu, then click on Apps and Connections. You can browse the available apps, select the ones you like and it will take you to the login page for each one.
However, it’s important to note that linking your account means you’re sharing your app data with ChatGPT. Be sure to check the permissions you give when connecting your accounts. For example, if you connect your Spotify account, ChatGPT can see your playlists, listening history and other personal information. (Sharing this information helps personalize the experience, but if you have privacy concerns, consider whether you’re comfortable with this level of access before signing in.)
You can also disconnect any app whenever you want, directly from the Settings menu.
Available applications
Booking.com
This integration with the online travel giant is designed to help travelers, especially first-time visitors who need recommendations on where to stay.
After connecting your Booking.com account, you can ask ChatGPT to find hotels in your preferred city based on your dates and budget. You can also specify how many people will be coming and if you want the hotel close to public transport. ChatGPT aims to make this process more intuitive than searching directly on the Booking.com website. Additionally, you can be more specific, such as searching for “with breakfast” options.

Canva
Canva on ChatGPT is a useful tool for graphic designers and anyone else who needs to quickly create visual content. Whether it’s a social media post, a poster or a presentation, this can be a good way to start your project and develop ideas.
Once you connect your Canva account, you can ask ChatGPT to design something like “a 16:9 slide deck for our Q4 roadmap” or “a fun poster for a dog walking business.” You can include specifics such as your preferred fonts, color schemes, formats (such as Instagram posts or stories), and exact dimensions.
AI-generated designs are rarely perfect, with the occasional distorted image or spelling mistake. However, some users may find this better than starting from scratch and can go back to Canva at any time to tweak their design and make it look exactly how they want.
Coursera
Coursera integration designed to help you quickly discover the best online courses for your skill level. For example, you can then tell ChatGPT to find an “intermediate Python course”. You can then tell the chatbot to compare course options based on rating, duration and cost before you sign up. ChatGPT can also provide a quick description of exactly what each course covers.
Expedia
ChatGPT can display hotel options and flights via Expedia without leaving the chat. Whether you’re looking for a quick getaway or a longer trip, it can find flights that match your travel dates, budget and number of travelers. You can narrow things down by saying things like “Show only 4 star hotels”. Once you see something you like, head over to Expedia to finalize everything and book your trip.
Figma
For use Figma on ChatGPTyou can ask it to create charts, flow charts and more. This is useful for turning your ideas and brainstorming sessions into something more tangible. It can also be useful for visualizing complex concepts or workflows.
You can also upload files and ask the chatbot to create a product roadmap for your team. This roadmap can include milestones, deliverables and deadlines, helping your team stay organized and focused on their goals.
Spotify
One of the most useful aspects of using Spotify on ChatGPT is the ability to quickly create playlists and listen to new suggested songs tailored to your tastes. You can ask it to create a playlist based on your current mood, or just a playlist that only includes tracks from your favorite band.
It can also recommend new artists, playlists, audiobooks and podcast episodes. Additionally, ChatGPT can perform actions on your behalf, including adding and removing items from your Spotify library.
Zillow
If you are looking for a new home, Zillow on ChatGPT could make the search experience simpler. Using a simple text prompt, you can find homes that meet your criteria and apply filters to narrow down the results. Whether you’re looking for a specific price range, number of bedrooms, or specific neighborhoods, you can specify these details in your prompt, making the search process much more efficient and tailored to your needs.
What’s next?
Along with the announcement that OpenAI will bring apps to ChatGPT, the company also said it plans to welcome other partners soon, including DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, Uber and Walmart. These will be released later in the year.
Availability of ChatGPT’s app integrations is currently limited to the US and Canada. Users in Europe and the UK are currently blocked.
