How to Use ChatGPT's New App Integrations: Spotify, Uber, DoorDash

You can now ask ChatGPT to build a Spotify playlist, add groceries to your DoorDash cart, or check Uber prices for a trip -- all from inside the chat, without switching apps. OpenAI launched its app integration ecosystem in December 2025, and the list of available services has been expanding fast. As of March 2026, it includes Spotify, DoorDash, Uber, Uber Eats, Wix, Expedia, Zillow, Coursera, and several others.

The idea is that ChatGPT becomes a central place to get things done -- a layer on top of the apps you already use, rather than a parallel tool you have to switch to. Whether it's useful day-to-day depends on which apps are already part of your routine. Here's how to set it up and what to expect from each integration.

How to Connect Your Accounts

Getting started takes about two minutes. Open ChatGPT on web or mobile, go to your profile menu, and find Settings, then Apps and Connectors. You'll see a directory of available integrations. Click any one, and ChatGPT walks you through an OAuth authorization -- the same secure process you use when you "sign in with Google" on other sites.

You can also trigger setup mid-conversation. Start a message mentioning the app by name, and ChatGPT will prompt you to connect if you haven't already. Once connected, your integrations persist across sessions -- no re-authorizing every time.

Spotify: Playlists and Music Discovery

The Spotify integration builds playlists directly in your library based on your prompts. Describe the mood, occasion, or genre you want, and ChatGPT creates the playlist in your Spotify account. Free users get playlists drawn from Spotify's existing catalog. Premium users get fully custom playlists generated from scratch to match your prompt.

You can also ask for recommendations: artists to explore, albums in a genre you're new to, podcast episodes on a topic. It works well for the moments when you have something specific in mind but don't know where to start in Spotify's catalog.

One thing to know: Spotify has confirmed it will not share your listening history, music, or personal data with OpenAI for training purposes.

DoorDash: Grocery Planning and Restaurant Discovery

The DoorDash integration connects ChatGPT to grocery delivery and restaurant discovery. Tell it a recipe, and it builds a DoorDash grocery cart with the right ingredients. You review the cart and check out in the DoorDash app. Participating retailers include Kroger, Safeway, Wegmans, Fairway Market, and others. Currently U.S. only.

For restaurant delivery, you can browse local options and menu items inside the chat before heading to DoorDash to complete the order. It's useful if you want to compare options conversationally before committing to the order flow.

Uber and Uber Eats: Getting Around

With Uber connected, ask ChatGPT for a ride anywhere and it pulls live pricing and arrival time estimates for all vehicle tiers -- UberX through Uber Black. The results show up as a comparison you can browse without leaving the chat. Booking and payment happen in the Uber app, which handles the security side of the transaction.

Uber Eats works the same way: ChatGPT handles discovery and menu browsing, you complete the order in the native app.

Wix: Website Building and Management

Added in March 2026, the Wix integration is the most capable one on the list. Describe a website you want -- business type, look, features -- and ChatGPT generates it inside Wix. For existing Wix users, it can manage scheduling, payments, SEO settings, accessibility, and security through natural language. Think of it as a way to run your Wix site without navigating menus.

This is most useful for small business owners who manage their own site.

Expedia, Zillow, Coursera, and Others

Expedia shows hotels and flights based on your travel dates and preferences, all within the chat. Zillow lets you search homes with applied filters. Coursera finds and compares online courses by topic, skill level, and duration.

All three are research and comparison tools within ChatGPT. Actual bookings and transactions go through the respective apps.

What to Know Before You Connect Everything

OpenAI built a permission-first model into the integration ecosystem. Every time a connected app requests access to your data or takes an action, ChatGPT asks for your explicit permission before anything happens. Nothing runs automatically.

That said, connecting these services does involve data sharing. Spotify sees your playlist preferences. Uber gets access to your saved addresses and trip history. Wix accesses your site content. You can review and revoke any connection at any time from the Apps and Connectors dashboard in your profile settings.

It's worth thinking through which integrations you'll actually use before connecting everything. The fewer connections you maintain, the easier it is to keep track of what has access to what.

What's Coming

OpenAI has confirmed integrations for PayPal, Walmart, and OpenTable are planned for 2026. The current rollout is limited to the U.S. and Canada -- European and U.K. users aren't included yet.

Getting More Out of It

These integrations respond to specific prompts far better than vague ones. "Make me a playlist" produces something generic. "Make me a playlist for a two-hour drive, upbeat indie pop, mostly 2010s, nothing slow" produces something you might actually use. DoorDash works better when you give it a specific recipe than when you ask for groceries broadly. Uber is most useful for comparing options rather than as a booking interface.

If you're deciding where to start, Spotify and DoorDash have the clearest day-to-day use cases. They don't require much setup, and the benefit shows up immediately if you already use either service.

For context on how ChatGPT evolved from a chat interface into a platform that can orchestrate other apps and services, the architectural shift dates back to the ChatGPT Agent launch earlier this year.
