ChatGPT now offers direct app integrations, allowing you to connect accounts from services like Spotify, Figma, and Canva for a more personalized and efficient workflow. This feature enables the AI assistant to perform tasks on your behalf, such as creating custom playlists or generating design templates, directly within your connected applications.
Getting started is straightforward. Simply log into your ChatGPT account and begin your prompt by mentioning the app you wish to use. The assistant will then walk you through the steps to sign in and link your account. Alternatively, you can visit the Settings menu, select Apps and Connectors, and browse the available options to set up multiple integrations at once.
It’s essential to understand that connecting an account means sharing certain data with ChatGPT. Review the permissions carefully before linking any service, as this may include access to personal information like your Spotify listening history or Canva design files. While this data sharing helps tailor the experience to your preferences, users with privacy concerns should evaluate whether they are comfortable granting this level of access. You can disconnect any app at any time through the Settings menu.
Available integrations include:
Booking.com This travel integration assists users in finding accommodations. After linking your account, you can ask ChatGPT to locate hotels based on your destination, travel dates, budget, and preferences, such as proximity to public transit or inclusion of breakfast. The process aims to be more intuitive than searching on the Booking.com website directly. Once you identify a suitable option, you’ll be directed to the Booking.com listing to complete your reservation.
Canva Graphic designers and content creators can use the Canva integration to quickly generate visual assets. By connecting your account, you can request designs for social media posts, presentation slides, or promotional posters. Specify details like color schemes, fonts, and dimensions to guide the output. While AI-generated designs may occasionally include errors or need refinement, this tool provides a helpful starting point that you can later perfect within Canva’s editor.
Coursera Find online courses tailored to your skill level and interests through the Coursera integration. Ask ChatGPT to locate intermediate Python courses, for example, and compare options based on ratings, duration, and cost. The assistant can also summarize course content to help you make an informed decision before enrolling.
Expedia Plan your next trip by using Expedia within ChatGPT. Search for flights and hotels that match your travel dates, budget, and group size. Apply filters like “show only 4-star hotels” to refine results. When you find a suitable option, you’ll be redirected to Expedia to finalize your booking.
Figma Turn ideas into visual diagrams and flowcharts with the Figma integration. This is particularly useful for brainstorming sessions or mapping out complex workflows. You can also upload files and ask ChatGPT to generate product roadmaps complete with milestones and deadlines, helping teams stay organized and aligned on goals.
Spotify Create personalized playlists and receive music recommendations through the Spotify integration. Whether you’re in the mood for upbeat workout tracks or relaxing acoustic covers, ChatGPT can compile a playlist to match. It can also suggest new artists, podcasts, or audiobooks, and manage your library by adding or removing content.
Zillow Simplify your home search by connecting Zillow. Use text prompts to find properties that meet specific criteria, such as price range, number of bedrooms, or preferred neighborhoods. Applying these filters makes the search process more efficient and customized to your needs.
Looking ahead, OpenAI has announced plans to expand its app partnerships later this year, with upcoming integrations expected from DoorDash, OpenTable, Target, Uber, and Walmart. Currently, the rollout of ChatGPT app integrations is available only to users in the United States and Canada, with access in Europe and the U.K. pending future updates.
