OpenAI Confirms ChatGPT 'Super App' Overhaul Is Coming Within Weeks, Codenamed Aria

TechCrunch·high signal

OpenAI confirmed via TechCrunch (June 7) that it is still building a 'super app' redesign — codenamed Aria per FT reporting — that folds AI agents, the Codex coding tool, image generation, and third-party apps (Canva, Booking.com, with Expedia, Figma, Spotify, Coursera, and Zillow piloting) directly into ChatGPT. The revamp targets all 900M weekly users and is explicitly pitched to close the gap with Anthropic among business customers and improve margins ahead of OpenAI's planned IPO. For builders, this signals ChatGPT pivoting from a chat surface to an agentic app platform with a third-party developer ecosystem.
