No one told you ChatGPT just got its most important update.

So I will.

Here’s what you will master at the end of this guide:

1. How to access your favorite app inside ChatGPT.

2. How to build your own app right inside ChatGPT.

3. My 2026 plan for ChatGPT + the App revolution.

1. Access your favorite app inside ChatGPT.

This silent update is changing ChatGPT, an 800 million weekly users app.

Booking.com

Canva

Coursera

✦ Figma

Peloton

Spotify

Apple Music

Target

OpenTable

✦ If you do not want a certain color or style, say so.

✦ Add extra details to get the exact look you need.

✦ Work step-by-step. Focus on one effect at a time.

I even shared how big it will be back in October (here on Linkedin).

But you’re missing the big picture: OpenAI opened this to everyone.

Yes, you and I can build an app INSIDE ChatGPT, to connect with 800 million users. Here’s how (in the next section).

2. Build your own app right inside ChatGPT.

And I have to say, I’m impressed. It works:
