As of July 9, 2026, we’ve migrated the app directory to the Plugin directory. Plugins are the primary way to discover workflow capabilities across ChatGPT and Codex. A plugin can include skills, apps, and app templates - apps remain the integrations that connect ChatGPT or Codex to external data and actions, while plugins make it easier to enable workflows in ChatGPT. Existing app connections remain unaffected, and users can add new plugins from the plugin directory, connecting and authenticating the underlying app as before. Workspace admins manage plugin installation in Workspace settings > Plugins, and can manage each underlying app’s access and permissions from within the plugin configuration, or from Workspace settings > Apps.
These prompts are examples. The plugins and apps available to you depend on your plan, workspace settings, role, supported surface, and region.
Overview
Plugins combine skills and apps for specific workflows. Availability depends on the plugin, plan, workspace, role, and supported ChatGPT surface.
The examples below show how plugins and their included apps can support common workflows.
