📌 The TodayOnAI Brief

OPENAI

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: OpenAI is turning ChatGPT into a full app platform, launching a new in-chat system where users can interact with apps from major brands like Spotify, Canva, Figma, and Zillow—right inside their conversations. Announced at DevDay 2025, the move signals OpenAI’s most ambitious push yet to embed third-party tools directly into its flagship product.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

  • Apps inside ChatGPT: Starting Monday, users can call on apps like Booking.com, Coursera, and Expedia through natural language—e.g., “Figma, turn this sketch into a diagram.”

  • Developer SDK launched: OpenAI previewed its new Apps SDK, giving developers tools to build interactive, responsive apps within ChatGPT.

  • Built on Model Context Protocol (MCP): Enables rich, adaptive app behavior—apps can render custom UI, trigger actions, and display video.

  • Native app discovery: ChatGPT will suggest relevant apps in context, such as surfacing Spotify when asked for a party playlist.

  • Future plans: Support for monetization via Instant Checkout is coming; additional partners like Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart are on the roadmap.

💡 Why This Stands Out: This shift redefines ChatGPT not just as a chatbot, but as a hub for everyday digital tasks—essentially merging AI with the app economy. By collapsing search, action, and interface into a single chat, OpenAI challenges both traditional app stores and search engines. The big question now: Who will control user attention inside these AI-native ecosystems?

OpenAI

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: At its Dev Day event, OpenAI launched AgentKit, a new suite of tools for building and deploying AI agents. Designed to streamline agent development from prototype to production, AgentKit signals OpenAI’s growing focus on empowering developers—and competing platforms—with low-friction, full-stack agent workflows.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

  • AgentKit includes a modular toolkit for designing, deploying, and optimizing AI agents on OpenAI’s platform.

  • Agent Builder offers a visual, drag-and-drop interface—described as “Canva for agents”—built atop OpenAI’s responses API.

  • ChatKit enables developers to embed customizable chat interfaces directly into their apps.

  • Evals for Agents provides built-in tools for measuring performance, optimizing prompts, and evaluating external models.

  • Connector Registry lets agents securely access internal tools and third-party systems via an admin-controlled interface.

💡 Why This Stands Out: AgentKit elevates OpenAI from a model provider to a full-stack agent platform—reducing friction in a process that’s historically been complex and fragmented. By bundling design, testing, deployment, and integration into one toolkit, OpenAI is positioning itself at the center of the agent ecosystem. As agents evolve from novelty to utility, which platform will become the go-to OS for autonomous workflows?

Supabase

🚀 TodayOnAI Insight: Supabase has raised a massive $100 million Series E at a $5 billion valuation, led by Accel and Peak XV—just four months after closing a $200 million Series D at $2 billion. The open-source Postgres platform has now raised $500 million total, making it one of the fastest-growing database startups powering AI-era app development.

🔍 Key Takeaways:

  • The new $100M Series E follows a $200M Series D and $80M Series C—all within the past year, marking a 500% valuation increase.

  • Founded in 2020, Supabase offers an open-source, Postgres-based alternative to Google Firebase, integrating authentication, file storage, and vector tools for AI workflows.

  • The platform now serves 4 million developers and underpins popular AI coding tools like Replit, Claude Code, Lovable, and Bolt.

  • Supabase is also letting community developers invest in the Series E round—a rare move for an open-source company.

  • Investors include Accel, Peak XV (formerly Sequoia India), and Craft Ventures.

💡 Why This Stands Out: Supabase’s meteoric rise reflects how open-source infrastructure has become essential to the generative AI boom. By fusing community-driven development with investor-grade growth, Supabase is redefining what modern backend platforms look like. The question now: can it maintain its open ethos as valuations soar?
