Video Summary
The new app integration within the chatbot is poised to revolutionize user interaction with AI. While the agent builder has garnered attention, the true innovation lies in embedding external applications directly into the chat interface. This allows users to perform complex tasks, such as finding houses on Zillow or creating graphics in Canva, without leaving the chatbot.
This seamless integration extends to services like Spotify, where users can request personalized playlists, and Expedia, for finding flights. The ability to interact with these apps directly within the chatbot streamlines workflows and offers a more cohesive user experience. The speaker believes this feature, though still evolving, will significantly enhance the chatbot's utility, potentially making it a central hub for various online activities.
The core of this update is to keep users within a single application, eliminating the need to navigate multiple websites and services. This move aims to consolidate functionality and make the chatbot an indispensable tool for a wide range of tasks, from real estate searches to graphic design and travel planning.
Short Highlights

- Graphic design is simplified with Canva integration, allowing users to generate multiple versions of promotional graphics (e.g., for a concert) and even open them for further editing within Canva.
