ChatGPT Could Evolve Beyond an App as OpenAI Hints at OS-Level Ambitions
OpenAI is developing ChatGPT as an operating system, appointing Glenn Coates as Head of App Platform. With AI-powered chats and a built-in search feature, ChatGPT will reduce the need for users to open separate apps. The company is focusing on hardware integration and plans to launch an AI-powered device by 2027, potentially competing with Android and iOS.
It seems that OpenAI may once again take the market by storm. This is because the company is gearing up to do more with ChatGPT than just being an application or chatbot service. In fact, it is being developed as an operating system. In connection with its efforts in this aspect, OpenAI has also appointed Glenn Coates as its new Head of App Platform. This has sparked various questions and speculations in the technology world regarding whether it is possible that the supremacy of both Android and iOS might end in the future.
Till now, the applications of ChatGPT are only restricted to an app and a platform, but its potential has already propelled it to a new high. AI-based chatting, back-end agents connecting to various apps, and even a search function are all leading to its transformation into an interface where users don’t have to open different apps for different tasks.
The ChatGPT Apps feature introduced by OpenAI is considered a major step in this direction. It integrates third-party apps within ChatGPT, allowing users to write, design, code, or use other services while chatting, making it even more unique.
Any OS's job is to create a better synergy between hardware, users, and apps. Therefore, ChatGPT is already showing significant advancements in user interface and app support. Now, only hardware integration remains, and this is where OpenAI's next big move begins.

This move by OpenAI comes at a time when the company already has a strong data center infrastructure, a rapidly growing user base, and partnerships with major companies like Adobe, Canva, and Zillow. Furthermore, OpenAI is also working with renowned designer Jony Ive on an AI-powered device, which could hit the market by 2027.
If ChatGPT is now integrated with hardware, apps, and an AI interface, it could take regular mobile operating systems to the next level. This could pose a challenge for Android and iOS.
