OpenAI is exploring ways for users to sign in to third-party apps using their ChatGPT account, the company noted on a web page<\/a> published Tuesday. OpenAI is currently gauging interest from developers who might want to integrate this service into their apps.<\/p>\n ChatGPT is quickly becoming one of the largest consumer applications in the world, now with roughly 600 million monthly active users<\/a>. To capitalize on this popularity, OpenAI seems eager to try and expand into other consumer areas, such as online shopping<\/a>, social media<\/a>, and personal devices.<\/a> A potential \u201cSign in with ChatGPT\u201d feature could help OpenAI compete with other massive consumer technology companies \u2014 such as Apple, Google, and Microsoft \u2014 that help people with a wide range of online services, including a quick way to sign in to third-party apps.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, OpenAI launched a preview of the \u201cSign in with ChatGPT\u201d<\/a> experience for developers in Codex CLI, the company\u2019s open source AI coding tool for terminals. The feature let developers connect their ChatGPT Free, Plus, or Pro accounts to their API accounts. OpenAI offered Plus users $5 in API credits to sign in with ChatGPT, and Pro users $50 in API credits.<\/p>\n OpenAI seems to be interested in integrating the sign-in service with a broad array of companies. The developer interest form asks for companies to specify their app\u2019s user base, ranging from tiny companies with fewer than 1,000 weekly users to massive apps with over 100 million weekly users. The form also asks developers how they charge for AI features today and whether they\u2019re customers of the OpenAI API.<\/p>\n
