ChatGPT is taking a major step beyond text generation. With the launch of new app integrations, OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT as a practical, task-driven assistant that can connect directly to popular services like DoorDash, Spotify, Uber, Figma, Canva, Coursera, and more, allowing users to accomplish real-world tasks without leaving the chat window.
Rather than jumping between multiple apps, users can now rely on ChatGPT as a central interface for everyday actions, from ordering food and managing music to booking rides, designing graphics, and learning online.
What Are ChatGPT App Integrations?
The new integrations allow third-party apps to plug directly into ChatGPT. Once connected, these services can respond to conversational prompts and display interactive results inside the chat. In practice, this turns ChatGPT into a kind of AI control layer, sitting on top of existing apps and services.
Instead of manually navigating menus, dashboards, or course catalogs, users can simply describe what they want in natural language and let ChatGPT handle the workflow.
How Users Connect Apps to ChatGPT
Getting started is straightforward. Users can browse available integrations from the Apps or Integrations section in ChatGPT’s settings and connect supported services by signing in and granting permissions. Once an app is connected, ChatGPT can automatically suggest or invoke it when a prompt matches the service’s function, or users can call it directly during a conversation.
Spotify: Music Discovery through Conversation
With Spotify integration, ChatGPT becomes a music assistant. Users can ask for playlists based on mood, activity, or genre, rediscover saved tracks, or get recommendations without manually searching. Prompts like “Create a late-night focus playlist” or “Find upbeat music for a workout” generate instant results tied to the user’s Spotify account.
DoorDash and Uber Eats: Ordering Food Inside Chat
Food delivery integrations bring some of the most immediately useful features. With DoorDash or Uber Eats, users can browse nearby restaurants, view menus, compare options, and start an order directly in ChatGPT. While final checkout may still require confirmation, ChatGPT handles most of the decision-making process, reducing friction and saving time.
Uber: Booking Rides without Switching Apps
Through Uber integration, users can check ride availability, view estimated prices, and request rides by simply stating their destination. Trip planning can happen alongside food, music, or other activities, all in one conversation.
Figma and Canva: Designing Made Simple
For creative tasks, Figma and Canva integrations bring design directly into ChatGPT. Users can generate design concepts, edit layouts, or create graphics using simple prompts. For instance, “Create a social media post for a sale event in Canva” lets ChatGPT guide the design process and suggest elements, streamlining workflows that normally require multiple clicks or software tools.
Coursera: Learning Through Conversation
With Coursera integration, ChatGPT can help users explore online courses, discover learning paths, and even recommend classes based on career goals or personal interests. Instead of browsing through long lists of courses manually, ChatGPT provides tailored suggestions in a conversational format.
These integrations reflect a broader trend: moving away from app-centric experiences toward AI-first interfaces. Instead of opening separate apps for every task, ChatGPT acts as a single entry point that understands intent and routes requests to the right service. From learning and designing to music, food, and transportation, ChatGPT is evolving into a versatile AI super app.
