March 14, 2026 — OpenAI has expanded the capabilities of its ChatGPT assistant by integrating it directly with a growing list of popular applications. Users can now connect accounts from services like DoorDash, Spotify, Uber, and others to perform tasks through conversational prompts.
How to Connect Third-Party Apps
To use the integrations, users must first log into their ChatGPT account. The process can be initiated in two ways. A user can type the name of the desired app at the start of a prompt, and ChatGPT will guide them through the connection. Alternatively, users can navigate to Settings, then to ‘Apps and Connectors,’ to browse and connect multiple services at once.
Available partners include major names across several industries. For travel, integrations with Expedia and Booking.com allow for hotel and flight searches. Retail is represented by Target, while food delivery and rides are handled by DoorDash and Uber, respectively. Spotify, Canva, Coursera, and Zillow are also among the available connections.
Functionality and Use Cases
Each integration offers specific functionality tailored to the connected service. The DoorDash integration, launched in December 2025, can generate meal plans and add ingredients directly to a user’s cart for checkout. It is currently available only in the U.S. with participating grocery retailers.
Spotify users can ask ChatGPT to create personalized playlists based on mood or artist, suggest new music, or manage their library. The Expedia and Booking.com connections aim to simplify travel planning by finding options based on dates, budget, and preferences within the chat interface.
Other notable integrations serve professional and educational needs. Canva allows for the generation of design concepts for social media posts or presentations. Coursera helps users discover online courses by skill level and subject. Quizlet’s native app lets students convert notes into study materials and flashcard sets.
Recent Additions and Regional Availability
New partners continue to join the platform. Home services marketplace Angi recently launched an integration for project advice and professional matching. Website builder Wix also introduced a tool this month that can create functional websites from a text prompt.
However, access to these app integrations remains limited. The feature is currently available only to users in the United States and Canada. Users in Europe and the United Kingdom are excluded from the rollout for now.
Privacy and Data Sharing Considerations
Connecting an app account requires sharing data with ChatGPT. For example, linking a Spotify account grants the AI access to playlists, listening history, and other personal information to personalize the experience.
OpenAI states that users should review the permissions requested during the linking process. The company also notes that any connected app can be disconnected at any time through the Settings menu. This allows users to control their data sharing preferences directly.
Future Expansion Plans
OpenAI has announced plans to welcome additional partners to the platform. Companies including OpenTable, PayPal, and Walmart are expected to launch their integrations later this year. The expansion indicates a strategic move to position ChatGPT as a central hub for managing a wide array of digital tasks through natural language commands.
