ADVICE

When To Use Apps Vs Connectors Vs GPTs

  • Use apps when you need native third-party experiences embedded in ChatGPT with a GUI for direct editing and interaction.
  • Prefer connectors for enterprise data and GPTs for customized assistant behavior instead of using apps for those purposes.
INSIGHT

Free Access Drives App Adoption

  • OpenAI allows free users access to apps to encourage broad adoption and future in-chat commerce via its checkout protocol.
  • This mirrors app-store strategies to maximize users before monetizing transactions inside the platform.
INSIGHT

Context-Aware Productivity Boost

  • Apps are context-aware and can use prior chat context to operate inside third-party interfaces for inline edits and learning.
  • OpenAI reports up to ~70% productivity gains by avoiding copy-paste and reformatting across apps.
