OpenAI ships the week's deployable surface while Vercel fills the gaps
Apps in ChatGPT and AgentKit, and The Deploy Log for this week. Every price and claim read off the publisher's own page, with a call on each.

Apps in ChatGPT
DEPLOYif you build on MCP
WHAT SHIPPEDApps in ChatGPT launched with the Apps SDK preview, an open standard built on the Model Context Protocol. Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow are live today for logged-in users outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK.
THE CATCHThe launch excludes the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and app submissions for publication do not open until later this year.
IF YOU RUNa developer tool that wants distribution to over 800 million ChatGPT users

OpenAI
AgentKit
DEPLOYif you build agents in production
WHAT SHIPPEDAgentKit launched with Agent Builder in beta, ChatKit generally available, and four new Evals capabilities: datasets, trace grading, automated prompt optimization, and third-party model support. Ramp cut iteration cycles by 70%.
THE CATCHAgent Builder and Evals are being wound down from November 30, 2026, so anything built on them has a shelf life of about 14 months.

The pattern
OpenAI is shipping a deployable surface that is simultaneously enormous and incomplete. Apps in ChatGPT opens distribution to over 800 million logged-in users, but excludes the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, and publication does not open until later this year. AgentKit gives teams ChatKit, Agent Builder, and four Evals capabilities, yet Agent Builder and Evals are wound down from November 30, 2026, leaving a 14-month shelf life. The AMD partnership commits 6 gigawatts across Instinct GPUs, with the first 1 gigawatt of MI450 capacity starting in the second half of 2026, so the compute arrives after the tooling begins to expire.
Anthropic is filling the enterprise gap OpenAI leaves open. Deloitte will make Claude available to more than 470,000 people and train and certify 15,000 professionals, a distribution play that does not depend on a consumer app store or a regional exclusion. Where OpenAI offers a broad but time-boxed developer surface, Anthropic offers a narrower but durable professional channel. The two announcements together describe a market where reach is being built through partnerships and hardware, while the actual developer surface remains provisional.
