ChatGPT Channels Telegram
January 7, 2026
Just what everyone needs: Telegram type apps on the Sam AI-Man platform. What will bad actors do? Obviously nothing. Apps will be useful, do good, and make the world a better place.k
ChatGPT now connects to apps without leaving the AI interface.? ? According to Mashable, “ChatGPT Launches Apps Beta: 8 Big Apps You Can Now Use In ChatGPT.”? ? ChatGPT wants its users to easily access apps or take suggestions during conversations with the AI.? ? The idea is that ChatGPT will be augmented by apps and extend conversations.
App developers will also be able to use ChatGPT to build chat-native experiences to bring context and action directly into conversations.
The new app integration is described as:
“While some commentators have referred to the new Apps beta as a ChatGPT app store, at this time, it’s more of an app directory. However, in the “Looking Ahead” section of its announcement post, OpenAI does note that this tool could eventually ‘expand the ways developers can reach users and monetize their work.’”
The apps that are integrated into ChatGPT are Zillow, Target, Expedia, Tripadvisor, Instacart, DoorDash, Apple Music, and Spotify.? ? This sounds similar to what Telegram did.? ? Does this mean OpenAI is on the road to Telegram like services?
Just doing good. Bad actors will pay no attention.
