It is possible that, you know, this becomes a big thing, and if it becomes a big thing, I think that this is probably one of the bigger wealth creation moments in A.I.

So we're doing a special pod because Greg was on the pod where he showed me all these cool tools that he was using. Then at the end of the pod, he was like, by the way, did you see that ChatGPT now has a new App Store? I said, no, I didn't. Let's just record and I want you to show me what's going on with the new ChatGPT Store. Because this is My First Million, if you can, tell me a bunch of interesting business ideas that you see within the realm of the ChatGPT Store. Because a lot of people don't know this, but I guess they could surmise this. But when the App Store first came out, a bunch of the biggest businesses came about because they were early, they were first.

**Greg Isenberg** (0:53)
That is true. So let me give you a breakdown of what happened, and why it's important, and I can share a bunch of ideas that I think people should steal. Let me first talk about what was announced. So the other day, Sam Altman talked, it was Dev Day, so OpenAI's big developer conference. He launched the ChatGPT App Store, and he gives this example of using Figma in ChatGPT, which is the design tool, and he says, turn this sketch, like something that he drew out, into a workable diagram, and it was able to do it.

**Sam Parr** (1:29)
Wow.

**Greg Isenberg** (1:30)
Yeah, it's absolutely crazy. So the ability to use apps within ChatGPT, basically turning ChatGPT into like a mini-internet, right? You don't need to leave ChatGPT if you can just connect to apps.

**Sam Parr** (1:47)
Wow.

**Greg Isenberg** (1:48)
The other example, one of his teams gave was like Coursera, the course platform. Coursera, can you teach me something about machine learning? It connects to Coursera. You have to connect with it. So you actually have to like log into it. So you can see here, if you're watching this on video, it shows like how ChatGPT uses data, apps may introduce risks, data is shared with the apps, and then it creates this canvas where you can actually like, instead of, you know, it used to be ChatGPT was only text, now ChatGPT has this canvas that you can actually consume content in a more visual way. There's two ways to basically find some of these applications. One is you add it, and the other one is, and the one I'm way more excited about is you just use ChatGPT normally and you say like, imagine I didn't add Coursera here, and I said, I want to learn about machine learning, and it just brings up Coursera as a potential app. And that's the opportunity, right? Because if someone listening to this could actually build an app so that it shows up when you ask it a question. One of the things that Sam Altman mentioned the other day was he announced that ChatGPT has 800 million weekly active users. So you can get in front of 800 million people every single week and sell them something.

**Sam Parr** (3:12)
Wow, okay, this is awesome. I just typed in on ChatGPT, I said, how do I turn a drawing into a figma? And then I added the figma and it told me how to do it. Okay, that's awesome.

**Greg Isenberg** (3:23)
Yeah, or here, I'll just throw, I'll do one live for fun. Design a new logo for my podcast, the Startup Ideas Podcast. Oh, I forgot to mention who I want. So I think Canva, yeah, Canva was one of them. So Canva, the $47 billion design tool is one of the launch partners. It connects to the app and then you just log in and it'll literally design a logo within ChatGPT using Canva's software.

**Sam Parr** (4:02)
All right, there it is.

**Greg Isenberg** (4:04)
There it is, you know, I would give it a 6.5 on 10 But, you know, it's something that I can iterate with. And it's not something that you're going to one prompt yet, but it is something that, you know, look, it says review and select one to continue editing.

**Sam Parr** (4:20)
And then the font is so weird on some of them. It looks like it's a misspell, but it's not. I've never experienced it before. Look at the one on the third from the right.

**Greg Isenberg** (4:27)
Yeah, that sometimes happens with AI design. The design is like the fonts are a bit wonky. So you have to, again, like not one prompt it. It's going to take multiple prompts, but like this isn't bad. And that also took like two seconds. Like I can make this better.
