Episode notes
File Finishing Friction Ends
- ChatGPT Apps aim to remove the 'file finishing friction' by letting you complete work inside the chat UI instead of copying between tools.
- This reduces transfer tax and format fallout so you can finish files where they live.
When To Use Apps Vs Connectors Vs GPTs
- Use apps when you need native third-party experiences embedded in ChatGPT with a GUI for direct editing and interaction.
- Prefer connectors for enterprise data and GPTs for customized assistant behavior instead of using apps for those purposes.
Free Access Drives App Adoption
- OpenAI allows free users access to apps to encourage broad adoption and future in-chat commerce via its checkout protocol.
- This mirrors app-store strategies to maximize users before monetizing transactions inside the platform.
