OpenAI is shaking things up by exploring the possibility of letting users sign in to third-party apps using their ChatGPT account. With around 600 million monthly active users, ChatGPT is making its mark as a major player in the consumer app world. Now, OpenAI is eyeing a move into other consumer realms like online shopping, social media, and personal devices. Imagine a “Sign in with ChatGPT” button popping up next to the usual suspects from Apple, Google, and Microsoft — offering a quick and easy way to access third-party apps.
Sign in with ChatGPT is gaining momentum, as OpenAI recently gave developers a sneak peek of the experience in the Codex CLI. Plus, users got $5 in API credits, while Pro users snagged a sweet $50 deal. The buzz is real, with developers eager to connect their ChatGPT accounts with their APIs. And with OpenAI keen on collaborating with a diverse range of companies, it’s safe to say that the possibilities are endless.
CEO Sam Altman hinted at a “sign in with OpenAI” feature back in 2023, but it looks like the future is now in 2025. While we don’t know when this feature will officially launch or how many companies are on board, one thing’s for sure: OpenAI is on a mission to revolutionize the way we interact with technology. Stay tuned for more updates!
