OpenAI is exploring a new feature that would allow users to sign in to third-party apps using their ChatGPT account. This initiative aims to expand OpenAI’s reach beyond chatbots and language models into other areas of consumer technology.
Background
ChatGPT is one of the largest consumer applications globally, boasting roughly 600 million monthly active users. OpenAI is eager to capitalize on this popularity by venturing into various sectors, including:
- Online shopping
- Social media
- Personal devices
Feature Overview
The proposed "Sign in with ChatGPT" feature would enable users to access various apps and services without the hassle of managing multiple usernames and passwords. This approach is similar to existing options like "Sign in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Google."
Comparison with Other Services
The concept of single sign-on is not new. For instance:
- Apple introduced "Sign In with Apple" in 2019 to compete with Facebook and Google, providing consumers with more control over their data when signing up for third-party apps.
- Other companies have since adopted similar features.
Developer Preview
Earlier this month, OpenAI launched a preview of the "Sign in with ChatGPT" experience for developers through Codex CLI. During this early preview period, developers could connect their ChatGPT Free or Pro accounts directly from Codex CLI. This preview period concluded last week.
Incentives for Early Users
Users who signed up during the preview received free credits:
- Plus users: $5 worth of credits
- Pro users: $50 worth of credits
This new feature represents a significant step for OpenAI in enhancing user experience and expanding its ecosystem.
