What Are Apps in ChatGPT?

Beginner-friendly lesson that shows you how to use Apps inside ChatGPT to get more practical, real-world work done—without bouncing between tabs. You’ll learn what ChatGPT Apps are, when they’re the right tool (and when they’re not), and how to find and use pre-built Apps step-by-step.

We’ll also cover the basics of permissions and safety so you know what you’re agreeing to when you connect a tool. Finally, we’ll briefly explain how custom Apps can be built (it’s more technical) and point you toward a future course if you want to go deeper.

What you'll learn: 

  • What ChatGPT Apps are (in plain English)
  • When Apps are the right choice vs. regular chat
  • Where to find pre-built Apps in ChatGPT
  • How to connect an App and use it inside a conversation
