ChatGPT Expands App Ecosystem with Peloton and TripAdvisor Integration

TripAdvisor and Peloton are ChatGPT's first built-in apps -- Apple and Google should be worried

ChatGPT's AI dominance just got even stronger as OpenAI announces the addition of both Peloton and Tripadvisor to the chatbot. This is part of an expansion of ChatGPT's abilities, allowing users to interact with apps from within the AI program. Simply mention one of the apps that has been integrated, and ChatGPT will be able to run a prompt that uses it. In the example OpenAI has given for Peleton, it says "Peleton, can you recommend workouts for marathon training" with a response showing multiple Peleton classes and links out to the Peleton app to use them. The same goes for Tripadvisor, with a prompt asking ChatGPT to find hotels in New York City for 2 adults around $300 a night. ChatGPT responds, showing a Tripadvisor map with different hotels. These app integrations are now available to use from within ChatGPT for all countries outside of the EU region. Back in early October, OpenAI announced that users would now be able to interact with a range of apps without leaving the ChatGPT platform. While Peloton and Tripadvisor are the two most recent, there are plenty that have already arrived. Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Expedia, Spotify, and more have all already arrived and been available to use for the past month. Through these integrations, you can use ChatGPT prompts to make niche Spotify playlists, find the cheapest flights, and turn long Word documents into Canva slides. For OpenAI, this will prove to be one of its most important feature updates, standing out from competitors, both in the AI and browsing spaces. OpenAI has already announced partnerships with some of the biggest apps in the world, with more to come. OpenAI seems to be building an everything platform. Through these integrations, you could browse, shop, code, make presentations and more without ever leaving ChatGPT. For companies like Google and Apple, which have long had a dominance on the tech market, these updates will be a concern, showing OpenAI's goal to be the leading force in search and querying. It is not clear what app integration will come next after these two, but the company has announced plans for 9 other apps this year, including Uber, AllTrails, Target, Instacart and DoorDash. Going a step further, OpenAI plans to eventually launch its own app store, allowing developers to submit their own apps to be used from within the ChatGPT system. This could open up a huge new market, competing with both the Apple and Play Stores with a new style of apps powered by ChatGPT.

ChatGPT adds Peloton and Tripadvisor to its growing app ecosystem

Uber and DoorDash are confirmed to be the next integrations coming to the platform. ChatGPT has integrated two new applications, Peloton and Tripadvisor, enhancing its platform capabilities since its launch last month. Users can now plan workout routines with Peloton directly through ChatGPT. Similarly, the integration of Tripadvisor enables users to make vacation plans within the AI platform. These applications represent the latest additions to ChatGPT's app library. Further integrations are anticipated, with Uber and DoorDash confirmed as upcoming additions.
