Aytekin explains how MCP (Model Context Protocol), originally introduced by Anthropic, helped shape the idea of connected AI apps — and how OpenAI’s ChatGPT App Store is bringing that vision to life. Instead of switching between dozens of SaaS tools, users can now interact with apps directly inside ChatGPT using natural language. They also explore real-world examples including Jotform, Canva, Adobe Photoshop, Apple Music, and TripAdvisor integrations — showing how AI agents can connect tools, automate workflows, and reduce the need for traditional interfaces. The conversation also covers why chat interfaces may replace traditional SaaS dashboards, how AI memory improves personalization, and why companies that build AI integrations now could benefit from massive distribution. In this episode, we're seeing how AI agents and app stores are converging — and why the next generation of software may live entirely inside AI. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – MCP, Anthropic, and the rise of AI app ecosystems 01:07 – Introduction to the ChatGPT App Store 03:22 – Why AI apps feel like the early Apple App Store 05:28 – Jotform inside ChatGPT: building forms with AI 10:36 – Moving from traditional UI to chat interfaces 16:46 – Why AI apps are more powerful with context & memory 24:15 – Canva, Photoshop, and AI creative workflows 29:30 – TripAdvisor and AI travel planning apps 32:45 – Why ChatGPT apps are still early but growing fast 35:21 – The future of SaaS: apps inside AI agents ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Sign up for free ➡️ https://www.jotform.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Follow us on: Twitter ➡️ https://x.com/aiagentspodcast Instagram ➡️ https://www.instagram.com/aiagentspodcast TikTok ➡️ https://www.tiktok.com/@aiagentspodcast ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
