00:00Open AI may transform ChatGPT into an operating system.

00:05When Nick Turley joined Open AI in 2022, he wasn't just signing up to run ChatGPT.

00:11He was signing up to turn a science experiment into a business.

00:15Three years later, with 800 million people chatting weekly, he's ready for the sequel,

00:20transforming ChatGPT into something that looks a lot like an operating system,

00:24one filled with third-party apps.

00:27At Open AI's developer conference in Fort Mason, San Francisco,

00:31Turley sat down to explain his big plan.

00:33He envisions ChatGPT evolving the way web browsers did,

00:37from a humble window for websites into the central hub for digital life.

00:41Most of what we do now happens in the browser, he says.

00:44Why not in ChatGPT?

00:46The vision is bold, a world where ChatGPT isn't just a chat box,

00:51but the digital layer you use to do everything,

00:53from ordering takeout, to booking travel, to writing code.

00:57Open AI's even rumored to be working on a browser of its own

01:00and some mystery hardware with ex-Apple designer Joni Ive.

01:03If you squint, you can almost see a ChatGPT-powered ecosystem taking shape, Siri,

01:08but with a PhD.

01:10This isn't Open AI's first swing at the AI app store idea.

01:14Plugins in the GPT store debuted in 2023, but fizzled.

01:19Turley says this time's different.

01:21Apps will live inside ChatGPT's core experience, not off in some forgotten tab.

01:27For developers, that means direct access to ChatGPT's enormous user base,

01:32and for Open AI, a potential goldmine as apps like Uber or DoorDash

01:36generate transactions within the chat itself.

01:39Of course, running an AI OS comes with headaches.

01:41Who gets top billing when both DoorDash and Instacart want to deliver your snacks?

01:46Will companies pay for better placement?

01:49Turley says Open AI is still figuring it out slowly.

01:52But beneath the business talk,

01:54Turley insists ChatGPT isn't drifting from Open AI's lofty mission

01:58to benefit all of humanity.

02:00Instead, he calls it the delivery vehicle for AGI,

02:03artificial general intelligence,

02:05and points to stories like the 89-year-old

02:07who learned to code with ChatGPT.

02:10It's the future of computing with a side of fries.
