In this episode of the AI Agents Podcast, host Demetri Panici sits down with Jotform Founder & CEO Aytekin Tank to discuss the newly emerging ChatGPT App Store and why it could become one of the biggest shifts in software distribution.

Aytekin explains how MCP (Model Context Protocol), originally introduced by Anthropic, helped shape the idea of connected AI apps — and how OpenAI’s ChatGPT App Store is bringing that vision to life. Instead of switching between dozens of SaaS tools, users can now interact with apps directly inside ChatGPT using natural language.

They also explore real-world examples including Jotform, Canva, Adobe Photoshop, Apple Music, and TripAdvisor integrations — showing how AI agents can connect tools, automate workflows, and reduce the need for traditional interfaces.

The conversation also covers why chat interfaces may replace traditional SaaS dashboards, how AI memory improves personalization, and why companies that build AI integrations now could benefit from massive distribution.

In this episode, we're seeing how AI agents and app stores are converging — and why the next generation of software may live entirely inside AI.
