OpenAI expands ChatGPT’s plugins with app-like interfaces and automations
OpenAI is letting developers build app-like ChatGPT plugin panels, file viewers, and event-driven automations.
At Dev Day, OpenAI said developers can build plugin extensions that live in the ChatGPT sidebar, including interactive panels and file viewers for a product's own formats. A new Plugin Creator and redesigned directory flow are meant to speed building and discovery, and users can approve each plugin's access individually. ChatGPT Sites can host plugins so colleagues use them with their own connected data and permissions. OpenAI is also adding support for the proposed MCP Events specification so plugins can start automations from events in connected apps such as Slack, SharePoint, Airtable, and Google Drive.
- Plugin extensions get a ChatGPT sidebar home and interactive panels
- Plugin Creator and clearer directory ranking speed building and discovery
- Users approve each plugin's access needs individually
- MCP Events support lets plugins trigger automations from connected apps
