OpenAI has rolled out application integrations within ChatGPT, enabling users to link their personal accounts directly to the AI assistant for various tasks. For example, with a Spotify connection, you can instruct ChatGPT to generate custom playlists that will appear seamlessly in your Spotify app.
To begin, ensure you are signed into ChatGPT. Then, simply type the desired app’s name at the start of your prompt, and ChatGPT will guide you through the process of logging in and connecting your account.
If you prefer to configure multiple integrations simultaneously, navigate to the Settings menu, then select Apps and Connectors. From there, you can browse available applications, choose your preferences, and you will be directed to each app’s respective sign-in page.
It’s crucial to understand that linking your accounts means sharing your application data with ChatGPT. Always review the permissions you grant when connecting services. For instance, linking your Spotify account allows ChatGPT access to your playlists, listening history, and other personal details. (While this data enhances personalization, if privacy is a concern, consider your comfort level with this access before proceeding.)
You retain the ability to disconnect any app at any time via the Settings menu.
Currently Supported Applications
Booking.com
This integration with the major online travel platform assists travelers, particularly those seeking initial suggestions for accommodations.
Once your Booking.com account is linked, you can instruct ChatGPT to locate hotels in your chosen city based on your specified dates and budget. You can also define the number of guests and whether proximity to public transport is desired. ChatGPT aims to streamline this process, making it more intuitive than direct searching on the Booking.com website. Additionally, you can include specific requests like searching for options “with breakfast included.”
Upon finding a suitable hotel, simply open the Booking.com listing to complete your reservation.
Canva
Canva integration in ChatGPT serves as a valuable resource for graphic designers and anyone needing to quickly generate visual content. Whether for a social media post, a poster, or a presentation slide deck, this feature can effectively jumpstart your project and inspire creative concepts.
After connecting your Canva account, you can prompt ChatGPT to design items such as “a 16:9 slide deck outlining our Q4 roadmap” or “a cheerful poster for a dog-walking service.” You can include specific details like preferred fonts, color schemes, formats (e.g., Instagram posts or stories), and precise dimensions.
While AI-generated designs may not always be flawless, sometimes featuring distorted images or typos, many users will find this approach more efficient than starting from scratch. They can easily access Canva at any point to refine their design to perfection.
Coursera
Coursera’s integration aims to facilitate quick discovery of optimal online courses tailored to your proficiency level. For instance, you can instruct ChatGPT to locate an “intermediate-level course on Python.” The chatbot can then compare various course options based on ratings, duration, and cost before you enroll. ChatGPT can also offer a concise overview of each course’s curriculum.
DoorDash
DoorDash’s recently launched ChatGPT integration is designed to reduce time spent on meal planning and grocery shopping. Users can request a meal plan from the chatbot and instantly add all necessary ingredients to their DoorDash cart, which they can then review and check out.
Currently, this functionality is restricted to users in the U.S., encompassing participating grocery retailers such as Kroger, Safeway, Fairway Market, Wegmans, and others.
Expedia
ChatGPT can present hotel options and flights through Expedia without requiring you to leave the chat interface. Whether you’re planning a brief getaway or an extended journey, it can identify flights that align with your travel dates, budget, and passenger count. You can refine your search with prompts like “Only display 4-star hotels.” Once you find suitable options, navigate to Expedia to finalize your arrangements and book your trip.
Figma
To utilize Figma within ChatGPT, you can request it to generate diagrams, flowcharts, and other visual representations. This feature is particularly useful for transforming ideas and brainstorming sessions into concrete visuals. It can also aid in illustrating complex concepts or operational workflows.
You can also upload files and ask the chatbot to create a product roadmap for your team. This roadmap can encompass key milestones, deliverables, and deadlines, helping your team maintain organization and focus on objectives.
Spotify
A key advantage of integrating Spotify with ChatGPT is the ability to swiftly create playlists and discover new song recommendations tailored precisely to your preferences. You can ask it to generate a playlist based on your current mood, or compile one exclusively featuring tracks by your favorite artist.
It can also propose new artists, playlists, audiobooks, and podcast episodes. Furthermore, ChatGPT can execute actions on your behalf, including adding and removing items from your Spotify library.
Target
Retail giant Target strategically introduced a beta version of its ChatGPT integration ahead of Black Friday. This feature enables shoppers to solicit gift suggestions from the chatbot and rapidly assemble a shopping cart with multiple items without exiting ChatGPT. For instance, users can request ideas for a movie night, and the chatbot will present a curated selection of available Target products. Shoppers can add these to their cart and finalize a purchase using their Target account, then choose from same-day “Drive Up,” in-store pickup, or standard shipping.
Uber
For travel planning, the Uber integration simplifies finding ride options, particularly beneficial when in an unfamiliar country. You can arrange your trip within the ChatGPT app, then complete the ride request and payment within the Uber app.
Currently, this service is available solely in the U.S., and only on-demand rides can be booked, not advance reservations. Available options include UberX, UberXL, Comfort, and Black.
An Uber Eats integration is also available for U.S. users, allowing you to browse local restaurants and menu items within ChatGPT before completing payment in the Uber Eats app.
Zillow
If you are in the market for a new home, Zillow’s presence in ChatGPT can significantly streamline the search process. With a simple text prompt, you can locate homes that match your criteria and apply filters to refine the results. Whether you’re searching for a specific price range, number of bedrooms, or particular neighborhoods, you can specify these details in your prompt, making the search more efficient and precisely aligned with your needs.
Future Developments
Concurrent with the announcement of ChatGPT’s app integrations, OpenAI also revealed plans to onboard additional partners in the near future, including OpenTable, PayPal, and Walmart. These are slated for launch in 2026.
The current rollout of ChatGPT’s app integrations is confined to the U.S. and Canada. Users in Europe and the U.K. are presently excluded from this functionality.
