ChatGPT is no longer just a place to ask questions or write text. It has now become a tool you can use to do real things. You can plan trips, order food, make playlists, design graphics, and shop, all from one chat screen.
OpenAI has added app integrations to ChatGPT. This means you can connect popular apps like DoorDash, Spotify, Uber, Canva, Expedia, and more, and use them through simple chat messages.
In this post, you will learn what ChatGPT app integrations are, how they work, how to set them up, and how to use the most popular ones. Everything is explained in very simple words.
What Are ChatGPT App Integrations?
ChatGPT app integrations let you connect your favorite apps to ChatGPT. Once connected, you can ask ChatGPT to do tasks inside those apps for you.
For example, you can ask ChatGPT to create a Spotify playlist, plan meals with DoorDash, find a hotel on Expedia, or look for a ride with Uber. You do not need to open each app separately at first. You just chat, and ChatGPT helps you.
Think of ChatGPT as a helper that talks to your apps for you.
Why These Integrations Matter
These integrations save time. Instead of opening many apps and clicking many buttons, you can just type what you want.
They also make things easier for people who are not very tech savvy. If you can type a sentence, you can use these apps.
ChatGPT also understands context. This means it remembers what you are talking about and gives better results.
How to Set Up App Integrations in ChatGPT
Getting started is simple.
First, make sure you are logged into your ChatGPT account.
Next, go to Settings.
Then click on Apps and Connectors.
You will see a list of apps you can connect. Choose the app you want and sign in to your account for that app.
ChatGPT will ask for permission to access some data. Read this carefully and only agree if you feel comfortable.
You can disconnect any app anytime from the same settings page.
Important Privacy Things to Know
When you connect an app, you are sharing some data with ChatGPT.
For example, if you connect Spotify, ChatGPT can see your playlists and listening history. This helps it make better music suggestions, but you should still be aware.
Always check what data you are sharing. If privacy matters to you, only connect apps you trust.
How to Use DoorDash in ChatGPT
DoorDash integration helps with food and grocery planning.
You can ask ChatGPT to create a meal plan for the week. It can suggest meals and add all the ingredients to your DoorDash cart.
You can also ask for dinner ideas and order food from nearby places.
Right now, this works only in the United States, and only with some grocery stores.
After reviewing your cart, you complete payment in the DoorDash app.
How to Use Spotify in ChatGPT
Spotify is one of the most fun integrations.
You can ask ChatGPT to make playlists based on your mood, favorite artist, or event.
For example, you can say, Spotify, make a chill playlist for studying.
ChatGPT can also suggest new songs, artists, podcasts, and audiobooks.
You can add or remove songs from your library using chat commands.
Once done, the playlist appears directly in your Spotify app.
How to Use Uber in ChatGPT
Uber integration helps when you are planning a trip or need a ride.
You can ask ChatGPT to find ride options based on where you are going.
It shows available ride types like UberX or UberXL.
You still finish booking and payment in the Uber app.
This feature currently works only in the United States and only for on demand rides.
There is also an Uber Eats option that lets you browse restaurants before paying in the app.
How to Use Expedia and Booking.com
These integrations are great for travel planning.
You can ask ChatGPT to find hotels based on your budget, travel dates, and location.
You can also ask for flights and compare prices.
ChatGPT shows options clearly, making it easier than searching on many pages.
Once you choose what you like, you finish booking on the Expedia or Booking.com website.
How to Use Canva in ChatGPT
Canva integration is helpful for designs.
You can ask ChatGPT to create a poster, social media post, or slide presentation.
You can tell it what size you want, what colors you like, and what the design is for.
The design may not be perfect at first, but it gives you a good starting point.
You can open the design in Canva and edit it until it looks right.
Other Useful Integrations
Coursera helps you find online courses based on your skill level.
Figma helps you create diagrams and flow charts.
Zillow helps you search for homes based on price, location, and size.
Target lets you build a shopping cart and get gift ideas.
More apps are coming soon, including OpenTable, PayPal, and Walmart.
Where These Integrations Are Available
Right now, ChatGPT app integrations are available mainly in the United States and Canada.
Some regions like Europe and the United Kingdom do not have access yet.
OpenAI plans to expand to more countries over time.
The Bottom Line
ChatGPT app integrations change how people use apps. Instead of clicking through many screens, you just talk.
This makes daily tasks faster, easier, and less stressful.
If you use food delivery, music streaming, travel booking, or online shopping apps, these integrations can help you a lot.
Just remember to check permissions and only connect apps you trust.
As more apps join ChatGPT, this way of using the internet may become the new normal.
