## What happened
OpenAI opened an app submission process for review and publication in ChatGPT and published developer resources for chat-native apps.

## Why it matters
Distribution inside an AI product rewards focused workflows that add context or complete an action, not generic wrappers.

## For builders
Before building a chat app, define one user intent, one external action and one clear privacy boundary.

## Try this
Write a one-page app spec: trigger phrase, needed data, action taken, failure state and user-facing consent copy.
