ChatGPT App Store Launch
OpenAI has officially launched its app directory for ChatGPT, a move that will allow developers to integrate their applications with the popular AI chatbot. The app store is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and includes integrations with a variety of services, such as Apple Music, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Booking.com.
This is a significant development for ChatGPT, as it will greatly expand the chatbot's capabilities. For example, users will now be able to book flights, order food, and make reservations directly from the ChatGPT interface. The app store will also create new opportunities for developers, who will be able to reach a large and engaged audience.
Google Discontinues "Dark Web Report" Tool
Google has announced that it is discontinuing its "dark web report" tool. The tool, which was launched in 2022, was designed to notify users if their personal information had been leaked on the dark web.
Google has not given a specific reason for discontinuing the tool, but it is possible that it was not as effective as the company had hoped. It is also possible that Google is planning to replace the tool with a more comprehensive security offering.
TikTok US Sale Finalized
The sale of TikTok's US operations has been finalized, according to reports. The deal, which was first announced in 2020, has been subject to a number of delays and challenges.
The sale is a major victory for the US government, which has been concerned about the national security risks posed by TikTok. The deal will see TikTok's US operations transferred to a new company, which will be owned by a consortium of US investors.
