OpenAI has enabled ChatGPT and Codex users to connect multiple Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts accounts to a single plugin, removing a prior one-account limitation. The change was confirmed by OpenAI engineer Gabriel Chua on August 28, 2026.

OpenAI announced it will integrate Codex functionality into the ChatGPT app within the next few weeks. The company also released six enterprise-focused agent plugins covering sales, data analytics, creative production, product design, and investment workflows, along with new annotations and sites features for business users.

Anthropic has released app connectors allowing Claude to integrate directly with personal services including Spotify, Uber, Uber Eats, Instacart, TurboTax, Audible, AllTrails, and TripAdvisor. The connectors are available now across all Claude plans, with mobile support in beta.

OpenAI is introducing plugins for Codex that bundle skills, integrations, and connectors into shareable workflow packages. The move directly addresses Claude Code's lead among developers and positions Codex beyond coding into broader agentic work platforms. Over 20 plugins are currently available, including integrations with Figma, Notion, Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive.
