In Chat Recommendation of MCP Apps

ChatGPT Apps SDK
1

Now that MCP Apps as a framework has matured and we see so many MCP Apps being published by all kinds of Publishers, I wanted to ask how does Chatgpt see the adoption of MCP Apps as crucial to the platform and the wider ecosystem. Asking since we have a number of Chatgpt Apps that our partners and users would love to use, but the biggest concern from everyone is that if the discovery of the apps is not native, very few users would go to the App Store of Chatgpt and manually search and add Apps (the Chatgpt Apps store is also not the most navigable, at least in its current form)

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Chatgpt had mentioned that they will start promoting Apps in chat and there were a number of threads on this issue in the forum, but I could not find a concrete answer to this. If anyone from Chatgpt / Forum could guide us, it would be very helpful for us. We have a number of Chatgpt Apps that we have already created and are in the processing of creating and submitting more !

You’re very right, we’re :cook: on this right now. My only suggestion here: make sure it’s about the user’s intent and not about getting your app surfaced so the signal remains :flexed_biceps:

Thanks @casey-chow for the guidance. Agree with you that the relevant App should be surfaced based on user intent. Very curious to know how you were thinking about this. What all would the recommendation compete against. For. e.g. If a Brand has an App (like Expedia) and the user asks Chatgpt to book a flight, would Chatgpt surface the MCP App, Flight listings on the internet, some flight inventory from ACP or Ads or flights or maybe Chatgpt would recommend going to a platform and booking the flight etc etc)

Anyways, eagerly awaiting to see what you guys are cooking !
