You can now chat with apps in ChatGPT.

[Nick Turley @nickaturley]

Happy OpenAI DevDay!

Today we’re introducing a new generation of apps you can talk to – built right into ChatGPT – and the tools for developers to build them. Whether it’s creating a playlist with @Spotify, finding your next home with @Zillow, or taking a course with @Coursera, these apps meet you in the conversation and adapt to your context.

It’s the start of a new ecosystem that brings more utility to users and new opportunities for developers.

@ChiaraCervetta @xikun_zhang_ @OpenAI @camermoten @ChiaraCervetta to clarify here, is it that you see the button to take over but it's not clickable, or simply that the model responds with only text (which also is not clickable)?

[Andrew Howell @andhudhow]

@davewiner Soon! https://t.co/HjqfeoIP1z

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Now rolled out to 100% of Pro users.

Due to higher than expected demand, Plus and Team users will begin getting access Monday.

[Andrew Howell @andhudhow]

Most fun launch yet - huge congrats to the team! And shoutout to @minniafeng for featuring my sweet dog, Ebi, in the livestream 🐶 :)

ChatGPT can now do work for you using its own computer.

Introducing ChatGPT agent—a unified agentic system combining Operator’s action-taking remote browser, deep research’s web synthesis, and ChatGPT’s conversational strengths.

Connecting outside data to @ChatGPTapp has been a real game changer for my daily work. Excited to finally ship it externally! Give it a shot and let us know how it goes.

[Neel Ajjarapu @neelajj]

🔭🔌 We're rolling out more connectors to ChatGPT! Deep Research can now access your @googledrive, @HubSpot, @linear , @github and more. Pro and business users can also add custom MCP connectors.

This is just the beginning of ChatGPT being deeply embedded with all your applications. We're excited to see how you use it!

[Andrew Howell @andhudhow]

@difficultyang Soon!

@k_kohlbrenner @testingcatalog @OpenAIDevs Mind sharing a link to that repo? Feel free to DM too

[Andrew Howell @andhudhow]

@k_kohlbrenner @testingcatalog @OpenAIDevs @k_kohlbrenner - sorry to hear you're still having trouble! Are those public repos ones you created/own? Have you confirmed they're indexed by GitHub (instructions in HC)?

[Andrew Howell @andhudhow]

@k_kohlbrenner @OpenAIDevs @k_kohlbrenner There are a few reasons why a repo may not appear at first. Take a look at this help center article and let us know if you're still having trouble after trying the suggestions there: https://t.co/0ZBNBpp1VF

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

You can now connect GitHub repos to deep research in ChatGPT. 🐙

Ask a question and the deep research agent will read and search the repo’s source code and PRs, returning a detailed report with citations. Hit deep research → GitHub to get started.

@DanielLurie can we do better than leaving recently repaved streets in a hand painted state for months? Several of these photos have been this way for 9 months+. It’s unsafe and also just embarrassing? I see this all over SF.

@CHP_Truckee Tweeting in CHP-speak (eg R2) is not effective for communicating with the public

[Yilong Qin @yilongqin]

As we enter the world of test-time compute, we are seeing increasing returns by simply letting our agents do their thing for longer.

For the first time, we are running our agent for hundreds of steps on these benchmarks. Instead of accumulating errors, CUA introspects, updates, and tries over and over again until the final success.

We launched a research preview of Operator today! It's a model built on top of GPT-4o that can control a browser — it is very early and will make mistakes, but it's a taste of things to come https://t.co/eYQbIqI1Lw

[Andrew Howell @andhudhow]

Working on this has been a highlight of my time so far @openai. Congrats to this awesome team!

A research preview of Operator, an agent that can use its own browser to perform tasks for you.
