Updated on: December 18, 2025

Ever wondered how ChatGPT could grow beyond simple answers?

OpenAI's latest update gives you a chance to explore that. ChatGPT now lets banks build a new generation of apps that your customers can chat with. These apps use the new Apps SDK.

You can offer personal and conversational experiences inside one simple chat window. Here's what you need to know:

• ChatGPT is introducing a new generation of apps that your customers can chat with. These apps use the new Apps SDK.
• These apps fit smoothly into the conversation and show up at the right moment or when you call them by name.
• Apps respond to natural language and offer interactive interfaces inside the chat.

In this blog, we will look at how this new world of OpenAI apps shapes banking brands and how TechMonk helps banks adopt it early.

Open AI Agent and TechMonk Integrated Use Cases

TechMonk uses OpenAI app agents to automate key banking tasks. These include loan origination, wealth advice, and account reactivation. You get smooth, fast, and fully conversational flows.

Impact of Being Visible in the Open AI App Store

OpenAI Apps give you new ways to reach customers. ChatGPT has more than 800 million users, and many of them want quick access to banking apps. You may ask how large this audience really is and how it impacts your reach.

• 100 million active users fall within the banking age group.
• 70 to 80 million monthly searches link to banking needs, from loans to digital wallets.

These numbers show the real potential. You can reach users in a space that moves faster than branch networks or traditional websites. As ChatGPT continues to grow, your visibility inside the app store grows with it.

Here is how the user base increased over time:

Implications for Banking Brands

This shift changes digital banking in a big way. You get access to more than 100 million active users inside the ChatGPT ecosystem. This reach goes far beyond branches or older websites.

You may even wonder how this scale compares to your current digital traffic. The impact is huge.

Users in this space understand digital tools well. They also show a strong interest in fintech ideas. They trust conversational AI to help with daily banking needs like:

• Applying for loans
• Managing accounts
• Searching for cards, wallets, and lending products

Conversational search is becoming the first choice for product discovery. Banks that move early take a clear lead in this shift.

The OpenAI App Store is not just another channel. It is the next stage of customer engagement. You can already see how customers prefer quick and personal chats over long journeys on an app or website.
