Today’s Episode

ChatGPT Apps might be the next billion-dollar opportunity.

Or they might be another ChatGPT feature that gets abandoned in 6 months.

I genuinely don’t know yet.

But when people say “this could be the new App Store,” my ears perk up. I spent four years building an iOS app in the early days of the App Store. The distribution was incredible. We grew fast purely because of where we were.

So when OpenAI announced the ChatGPT App Store, I needed to understand it.

I brought in Colin Matthews to break it down. Colin is one of my go-to sources for technical product topics. Our AI prototyping collaborations have been some of your favorite episodes.

Today, we’re exploring ChatGPT Apps and what they mean for you as a product builder.
