ChatGPT just added its first streaming video app, here’s what it can do

ChatGPT’s apps feature continues its search for a purpose. Along the way, it found a streaming partner in search of an audience. Now what?

Tubi is the first streaming video service with a ChatGPT app

OpenAI’s ChatGPT apps feature is a bit of a bet in favor of the AI experience becoming a platform of its own at some point.

Apple even has its own ChatGPT apps for Shazam and Apple Music, because why not?

Now Tubi is the first streaming video service to join the ChatGPT apps party, which Tubi says introduces “a new way for viewers to discover and watch Tubi’s collection of over 300,000 movies and TV episodes.”
