What you'll learn

Understand what a ChatGPT App actually is

Choose a set of capabilities the model calls mid-conversation, not a replica of your existing product.

Recognize good-fit vs. poor-fit use cases

Use OpenAI's "Know, Do, Show" framework and discuss real examples.

Ask the right scoping questions to ensure success

Before you build an app: Does it need conversation? Can it complete in-chat? Is it something ChatGPT can't already do?

Know the three display modes for ChatGPT Apps

OpenAI recommends inline cards, carousels, and fullscreen - we'll discuss when each makes sense for your use case.

Why this topic matters

ChatGPT Apps let third parties extend what ChatGPT can do, but they're not for every product or feature. Before getting started, you need to know what makes a great app, what works inside a conversation, and how to spot ideas that won't fit. This lesson gives Product Managers and business leaders the foundations to evaluate opportunities and ask the right questions.

I’m Emmanuel, an entrepreneur, product management executive, and consultant at Level 250 with over 15 years of experience shaping products.

I’ve led large API programs in fintech for Verisk, Moody’s, and Precisely, and served as VP of Product for some of the world’s most influential API tools - like API Blueprint at Apiary (550,000+ APIs), Oracle’s first Cloud-Native API Gateway, and Swagger at SmartBear (750,000+ APIs).

Over the years, I’ve consulted with everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to startup founders, engaging with thousands of PMs, developers and consumers to help them build winning products and ecosystems.

My passion is to make products more impactful and user-friendly, which is why I created Build AI-Ready APIs: A Hands-On Workshop for Engineers and PMs: to share my lessons learned and help Product Managers and Engineers fast-track their careers.

Join me to gain practical insights, avoid common pitfalls, and learn how to deliver Developer Products that enable great user experiences, without repeating the mistakes I’ve already made along the way.
