OpenAI briefly revealed plans to bring Apple Music to ChatGPT today, listing the integration in a blog post before quietly removing the reference. The feature would allow subscribers to control playback and access their library without leaving a conversation, signaling another step in ChatGPT's expansion beyond a purely text-based tool.
In the original version of the announcement, Apple Music appeared alongside services such as Airtable and Salesforce within a new app directory. OpenAI described the directory as a way to surface the right tools at the moment they are needed, enabling ChatGPT to take action rather than simply return information. While earlier plugin systems offered limited integrations, this approach appears more tightly integrated into the core chat experience.
The move fits with OpenAI's broader effort to position ChatGPT as a multimedia workspace. The company recently launched a dedicated interface for generating images and has continued refining how the platform handles writing, research, and visual responses. Bringing a major streaming service directly into chat would further encourage users to stay within the app for both creative and everyday tasks.
It also underscores the growing relationship between OpenAI and Apple. The two companies have been working together on Siri integration across Apple's latest operating systems, and OpenAI recently introduced a native macOS browser called ChatGPT Atlas. While the Apple Music mention no longer appears in the live blog post, its inclusion suggests the integration is under active development, even if a formal rollout has yet to be announced.
