OpenAI expands ChatGPT's plugins with app-like interfaces and automations

At its Dev Day presentation, OpenAI announced significant expansions to ChatGPT's plugin ecosystem. Developers can now build app-like experiences using plugin extensions, giving apps a dedicated sidebar home and enabling interactive panels with file viewers. OpenAI introduced a new Plugin Creator tool, streamlined the plugin submission process with a redesigned flow, and improved plugin ranking and recommendations within its directory. ChatGPT Sites can now host these plugins for sharing with colleagues, who can use them with their own data and permissions. The company also announced support for the proposed MCP Events specification, allowing plugins to trigger automations based on events in connected applications.
