The Future of Entrepreneurship Just Shifted—And It Happened Overnight
If you’ve ever thought, “AI is cool, but how does this actually make me money?” — this week’s OpenAI Dev Day was your answer.
This wasn’t another “tech for tech’s sake” launch. It was a roadmap for business owners who want to grow smarter, faster, and more authentically — without needing to code or chase every new shiny thing.
Here’s what you need to know (and exactly how to turn these updates into action this week).
1. ChatGPT Is Now an App Platform — Not Just a Chat
For the first time ever, ChatGPT can host full apps inside your conversation. That means you can use real tools — like Zillow or Canva — directly inside ChatGPT without ever leaving the chat.
In the demo, OpenAI showed how you can:
- Ask ChatGPT to search homes on Zillow
- Filter listings (“3-bedroom homes with a yard for dogs”)
- See an interactive map right inside ChatGPT
- Then jump seamlessly into Canva to edit a pitch deck or design slides
No tabs. No logins. No context-switching.
It’s like ChatGPT turned into your creative operating system.
Why this matters for entrepreneurs:
You can now brainstorm, plan, design, and act — all in one place.
Your marketing team, your VA, or even your clients can stay in one conversational flow that actually does things, not just talks about them.
My favorite part?
Once you log in via chatgpt – you are in! No need to click “approve” every time you start a new chat.
2. Apps SDK Is Here — So You Can Build or Use ChatGPT Apps
OpenAI released an Apps SDK (Software Development Kit) that lets creators and businesses build their own apps inside ChatGPT.
That means:
- Soon you’ll see an App Directory where users can browse tools made specifically for their needs
- Apps that meet higher design and usability standards will be featured prominently
- Developers can even monetize their apps directly through the ChatGPT ecosystem
Translation for business owners:
If your brand solves a repeatable problem… you could package that workflow into a ChatGPT app.
Think: your onboarding system, your visibility planner, or your client intake process — turned into a mini interactive app your audience can use instantly.
AND… your favorite apps will soon be available!
3. AgentKit Is a Game Changer for “Always-On” Experiences
Until now, AI agents (the kind that do things for you) were complicated to build. That’s changing fast.
OpenAI introduced AgentKit — a toolkit for building intelligent agents that can take action, make decisions, and connect to real systems.
It includes:
- Agent Builder – a visual way to design agent logic (no coding required)
- Chat Kit – embeddable chat experiences that look and feel like your brand
- Evals for Agents – built-in testing and performance tracking
- Guardrails for safety, plus human-in-the-loop options
They even showed a live demo of a custom agent being built and deployed in eight minutes.
Why this matters for you:
You can create your own “virtual assistant” that walks your clients through onboarding, answers FAQs, and even personalizes offers — 24/7 right inside ChatGPT.
The verdict is still out but it looks like I’m going to need to change my slides for the next two events, because you can now embed these tools and more.
Previously this was only available with a third party tool.
AND… MCPs are built in – so you can connect these agents to the WOLRD! See more about MCPs as a way to easily connect your tools.
4. Codex Just Graduated to Your New Team Member
Codex — OpenAI’s AI software engineering assistant — just became officially available to everyone.
Here’s what’s new:
- It now runs on the new GPT-5-Codex model (built specifically for software work)
- It integrates with Slack, GitHub, your terminal, and even the cloud
- It can handle code reviews, bug fixes, and testing automatically
- And it learns how you work — adapting its pace and reasoning for each task
Why entrepreneurs should care:
You don’t need to be technical to benefit. Codex can now help your team or VA build tools faster, set up automations, or customize your systems — in a fraction of the time.
There is a learning curve here – but… what used to take a month can now take a weekend.
5. New Models Mean New Creative Power
OpenAI also announced:
- GPT-5 Pro — their most advanced model yet, now available via API
- GPT-Realtime Mini — a lightweight, 70% cheaper real-time voice model
- Sora 2 API Preview — text-to-video generation with realistic sound and motion
Together, these upgrades mean your marketing can now include:
- AI-generated short videos with natural voiceover and ambient sound
- Real-time coaching bots with your voice and style
- Visual storytelling for offers, events, and launches
You can create faster and connect deeper — with zero production headaches.

Your 7-Day Action Plan: Turn ChatGPT Deve Day Updates Into Revenue ASAPp
You don’t need to be a developer to take advantage of this.
You just need to think like a modern entrepreneur who experiments before everyone else.
Day 1: Choose Your Revenue-Driving Use Case
Pick one process you repeat weekly that directly connects to revenue or retention.
Examples:
- Client onboarding
- Discovery call follow-ups
- Weekly content batching
- Program delivery check-ins
Prompt to use:
“What are the top 3 repeat conversations or tasks in my business that could be improved with ChatGPT’s new apps or agent features?”
Day 2: Map the Conversation Flow
Think through how this process happens naturally.
Ask:
- What’s the first question my client asks?
- What do they need next?
- How do I know they’re ready to buy or take action?
Write it like a mini script — real, human, conversational.
Day 3: Build a “Mini Agent” or Smart Flow
You can now create small, smart assistants inside ChatGPT using tools like Canva, Zapier, or your CRM.
Examples:
- “A Welcome Agent” that guides new clients through their first steps
- “A Sales Support Agent” that answers objections using your real language
- “A Content Agent” that plans, drafts, and schedules next week’s posts
Day 4: Create or Gather the Assets
Your agent needs your voice and visuals.
Pull together:
- Your scripts and FAQs
- Canva templates for decks or offers
- Brand guidelines or sample posts
Upload these into your ChatGPT workspace so it speaks your language — not generic AI tone.
Day 5: Test With Real Humans
Ask a peer or client to go through your new AI flow.
Have them use it naturally.
Watch where they get stuck, where they smile, and where they say, “Oh wow.”
That’s your optimization map.
Day 6: Use It in Your Own Workflow
Replace one repetitive task with your new system.
Examples:
- Use Canva in ChatGPT to create weekly visuals
- Let your “Content Agent” plan next week’s themes
- Have ChatGPT summarize your lead list and write follow-up messages
Day 7: Turn It Into Marketing Content
Your experiment = your proof of authority.
Share it publicly:
“I just used one of the new OpenAI Dev Day updates to cut my [specific task] time in half. Here’s what happened…”
Then turn that into:
- A post
- A short reel
- Or a lead magnet teaching how you did it
Every experiment can become content — and content drives connection.
The Early Bird Wins – Don’t Wait on Ai!
The real winners of this next AI wave won’t be the ones who know everything.
They’ll be the ones who try something and learn faster than everyone else.
So, this week — don’t just watch what OpenAI built.
Use it. Adapt it. Teach it.
Because the entrepreneurs who move first… will own the next wave.
