Slack Launches ChatGPT App Integration
Slack has released the ChatGPT app for Slack, integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT into the workspace. Announced at Dreamforce 2025, the integration lets users chat with ChatGPT in a dedicated Slack sidebar and leverage Slack’s Real-Time Search API to query conversations. Users can ask questions, get quick summaries of message threads, draft content (including social posts), and search Slack messages to rediscover discussions. Semantic search is available, but gated to customers on Business+ or Enterprise+ plans with the AI feature activated. The app can connect Slack messages to ChatGPT for broader context in chats and brainstorming. However, availability is initially limited to the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom due to connector restrictions; users outside these regions or without a paid subscription will need access via paid plans. Salesforce had previously announced a beta version of this integration about six months earlier.

OpenAI outlines ChatGPT Work for sales teams
OpenAI published an OpenAI Academy article (July 14, 2026) that explains how ChatGPT Work helps sales teams aggregate CRM fields, call notes, email threads, Slack conversations, decks, and account signals to produce drafts of account briefs, meeting packs, forecast reviews, and account plans. The piece links to an on-demand webinar (recorded when workflows were in the former Codex app) and highlights a Sales plugin for ChatGPT Work that integrates with tools such as Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Outreach, Clay, Rox, and Actively. The article provides install instructions and showcases common sales use cases for the product.
OpenAI adds Spotify, Canva, Booking to ChatGPT
OpenAI has begun integrating external apps directly into ChatGPT using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling users to perform tasks like listening to music, planning trips, or designing content without leaving the chat interface. An App SDK allows developers to connect their services to ChatGPT, with initial partners including Spotify, Figma, Canva, and Booking.com and additional integrations planned from Peloton, Uber, and Tripadvisor. The features are available to all registered ChatGPT users outside the EU in Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans, while the EU rollout awaits regulatory and privacy-compliance alignment. OpenAI is also testing ChatGPT Pulse, a daily personalized update feed from chats and connected apps. App connections require explicit user consent for data sharing; an app directory is planned to surface trusted tools, and OpenAI is exploring a monetization framework for developers. This move reinforces ChatGPT as a central hub for work, travel, and personal creative tasks.
OpenAI Unveils ChatGPT Apps and Developer SDK
OpenAI announced a new generation of apps that run inside ChatGPT and released the Apps SDK in preview for developers. The Apps SDK is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open standard and is open source; developers can design app logic and interfaces, connect to backends, and test apps today using Developer Mode. Apps are available immediately to logged-in ChatGPT users outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK across Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans, and became available in preview to ChatGPT Business, Enterprise, and Edu customers on November 13, 2025. Early pilot partners include Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow. OpenAI plans to open app submissions, publish a directory, provide monetization details (including support for an Agentic Commerce Protocol), and add finer-grained privacy controls later this year.
