[OpenAI Plans to Transform ChatGPT into an 'Application Operating System' with Third-Party Apps] According to TechCrunch, Nick Turley, the head of OpenAI ChatGPT, stated that ChatGPT is evolving into a platform similar to an operating system, with a core focus on integrating third-party applications (such as Expedia, DoorDash, Uber) and enabling direct transactions and revenue sharing. OpenAI has released developer guidelines requiring apps to collect only the 'minimum necessary data' and is considering introducing partitioned memory to achieve fine-grained permissions. Regarding prioritizing similar services and paid placements, OpenAI is still exploring options but prioritizes user experience. Turley emphasized that ChatGPT is the 'carrier' for OpenAI to distribute AGI, and the product will continue to align with its mission.
