Blurt × ChatGPT — A Blockchain in an AI Operating System

<center </center

A few days ago, I published a post titled “🤖 How AI Can Help Curation on Blurt” , where I argued that AI doesn’t have to be the problem — it can actually be part of the solution. While many still see it as a tool that floods blockchains with low-quality, reward-farming content, I suggested a different perspective: AI can empower curators , helping them surface and reward genuine creators instead of spammers.

Back then, I saw OpenAI ChatGPT as the “black sheep” among its competitors like Anthropic Claude and Mistral Le Chat , mainly because it had failed to properly integrate custom MCP Model Context Protocol connectors — a limitation that kept it from being a real game-changer from a developer’s perspective.

So when OpenAI’s DevDay 2025 dropped few days ago, it completely flipped the script. Suddenly, ChatGPT wasn’t the closed box it used to be — it turned into something developers can actually build on .

What caught my attention wasn’t just the hype, but the substance: ChatGPT Apps , the new AgentKit , and deeper integration with MCP connectors . Together, they finally make ChatGPT feel like a real platform — one where you can wire in your own tools, data, and logic without fighting the model’s walls.

The more I look at it, the more it feels like OpenAI isn’t just building a chatbot — it’s building an OS-like platform . With the arrival of ChatGPT’s own App Store and native app execution running inside the AI itself, we might be entering a new era where:

Apps don’t launch on phones anymore — they launch on AI .

Imagine a future where developers release their apps first for ChatGPT, and only later for iOS or Android. It sounds bold, but given the current trajectory, it’s not that far-fetched.

⚙️ Quick refresher on what MCP connectors are

If you’re not familiar with MCP Model Context Protocol , it’s basically a new open standard that defines how an AI model can securely talk to external systems — APIs, databases, apps, or even your local tools.

The idea originally came from Anthropic , and it’s quickly becoming the industry’s go-to approach for making large language models more connected and context-aware. Instead of locking a model inside a single interface, MCP gives it a structured way to pull information, trigger actions, or write data back through well-defined endpoints.

Think of it as a bridge layer between the model and the world around it. It tells the AI: “Here’s what you’re allowed to access, here’s how you can use it, and here’s how to talk to it safely.”

🚀 What OpenAI’s DevDay 2025 Brings to ChatGPT

If you’ve never heard of it, OpenAI’s DevDay is a bit like what Apple, Google, or Meta do with their annual conferences — except this one is all about AI. It’s when OpenAI unveils what’s next for ChatGPT and its developer ecosystem.

This year’s edition marks a clear turning point. ChatGPT is no longer just a conversational model — it’s becoming a real platform .

To give a sense of scale: it now counts over 800 million active users , growing by about 100 million every two months , and more than 4 million developers are already building on top of it.

And with this latest wave of updates, ChatGPT just unlocked three major things that completely change how it can be used: Apps inside ChatGPT , AgentKit , and native MCP connectors .

📱 Apps in ChatGPT — beyond just "@-mentioning" a tool

When I first heard about “Apps in ChatGPT,” I imagined something like being able to @-mention a tool, like @Blurt get my latest post stats . But the reality goes far beyond that.

Apps are now first-class citizens inside ChatGPT — full, interactive components that live inside the conversation. They can render interfaces , display dynamic content , keep persistent state , and even coordinate actions with the model.

In other words, these aren’t simple calls to external APIs — they’re embedded mini-applications , running securely within ChatGPT itself.

Here’s what’s new: - 🧩 Apps SDK : a full developer kit that extends MCP with UI and logic layers think of it as MCP + front-end capabilities . - 💬 Interactive UI : buttons, tables, toggles, or custom layouts can now appear right inside the chat — not just text. - 🧠 Context persistence : the app remembers previous interactions, like an actual web app session. - 🔐 Permission control : every connector or app still goes through MCP’s permission layer, so users remain in control.

With this, a developer can publish an app to the ChatGPT ecosystem — and users can discover, install, and use it directly in chat. Some have already started calling this the “App Store for AI” — and it’s not an exaggeration.

🤖 AgentKit — your personal automation layer

If Apps let you connect and interact , AgentKit is what lets you automate .

It’s a full framework to build autonomous assistants that can plan, execute, and evaluate actions. They can combine multiple steps, tools, or even other agents — all from within ChatGPT.

AgentKit includes: - 🧩 Agent Builder — a visual “no-code” editor for defining workflows “if this, then that” logic . - 🗂️ Connector Registry — where your MCP tools like the Blurt connector can be registered with explicit permissions. - 🧱 ChatKit — reusable components for agents that need to present UI elements to the user. - 🧭 Evaluation and guardrails — built-in controls to monitor, debug, and prevent misbehavior.

The best part: all of it runs natively inside ChatGPT . No need for external automation platforms n8n or others — the orchestration happens in the same space as the conversation.

Imagine this: you could soon create a “Blurt Curator Agent” that automatically summarizes trending posts, detects spam patterns, and suggests genuine creators worth curating — all running seamlessly in ChatGPT.

🧩 MCP is still the backbone

Even with all this new power, MCP remains the foundation . It’s what ensures that ChatGPT Apps and Agents can securely talk to external systems like Blurt , Discord , Notion , or any API you define.

But now, MCP isn’t just about access — it’s about integration . The new Apps SDK extends it with metadata, UI hooks, and state management, turning simple endpoints into fully interactive capabilities.

If you’ve built an MCP connector like my Blurt one , you can now wrap it into a full-fledged ChatGPT App — giving users both the data and the experience, without leaving the chat.

🌐 The Bigger Picture — ChatGPT as an AI Operating System

OpenAI didn’t just improve ChatGPT; they redefined its role . It’s no longer just a model — it’s becoming the OS of the AI era .

Between Apps, AgentKit, and MCP, developers now have: - A standard for connecting to anything MCP - A way to automate actions AgentKit - A way to present it all interactively Apps SDK

For builders, this means one thing: You can build once, connect it via MCP, wrap it as an App, and ChatGPT will do the rest — from UI to logic to orchestration.

But it also raises a much bigger question — one that hits close to home for communities like Blurt .

If tomorrow’s users interact with the internet primarily through AI interfaces — not browsers, not search engines — then will new developers still want to build a classic frontend or dApp for Blurt?

Or will they prefer to build directly inside ChatGPT or other AIs , where the discovery, curation, and even publishing happen natively — through natural conversation?

Because here’s what’s already shifting: - Generative AI is changing how people find and access information , compressing the entire search funnel. - AI-generated responses reduce the need for users to click away — resulting in fewer visits to traditional websites. - Some studies already show that AI-driven traffic converts up to 23× better than classic SEO leads. - And as “AI search” expands, a growing share of visibility and interaction may never leave the chat window.

This points to something deeper: we may be entering an era of web invisibility , where the surface layer of the internet — websites, buttons, menus, forms — slowly fades away.

The interface becomes language. The “click” becomes a sentence. The “UI” becomes the conversation itself .

For a platform like Blurt, this raises an existential design question: should we keep building graphical frontends… or start designing conversational ones?

Maybe, in the next wave of the web, the new frontend isn’t visual — it’s cognitive. And the first Blurt app people use won’t be on iOS or Android… …it’ll live inside the AI that already knows what they want to read, post, or curate.

🧪 What’s Next — Blurt × AI Integration

All these developments have only deepened my motivation to keep experimenting with how Blurt and AI ecosystems can truly work together .

Up to now, I’ve been running multiple tests using my Blurt MCP connector — fetching data, analyzing trends, testing curation logic. But this new wave of tools opens the door to something far bigger: real, two-way interaction .

I’m now exploring how to implement OAuth support inside the Blurt MCP connector , so ChatGPT could not only read from the blockchain — but also act on it.

Imagine being able to: - 🔼 Vote or curate directly from within ChatGPT, - 💬 Comment on a post through a conversational interface, - 🪙 Claim rewards , schedule posts, or even make transfer, - 🔔 Get real-time notifications for trending posts or mentions.

And on the other side, I’m eager to experiment with the new ChatGPT Apps SDK to display Blurt content natively inside ChatGPT — posts, discussions, and curated lists rendered directly in the chat interface, with context-aware AI assistance on top.

This could transform ChatGPT into a living dashboard for decentralized content — where you don’t just consume the blockchain, you interact with it intelligently.

There’s a lot still to build, but for the first time, it feels like the pieces are finally aligning: Blurt’s openness, MCP’s flexibility, and ChatGPT’s new agent + app capabilities are all converging toward the same goal — a truly connected, AI-augmented blockchain experience .

---

The next step isn’t just connecting AI to Blurt — it’s making Blurt speak the language of AI.

Stay tuned — because that’s exactly what I’m working on next.
