Hi everyone, OpenAI recently announced that developers can build apps directly into ChatGPT through their store. But this necessitates a new type of app design that works within ChatGPT’s interface and logic. Any word on whether Bubble is developing this capability or does anyone know how one might convert/adapt their Bubble app to this environment?
I hope bubble doesn’t bother…OpenAI will be out of business in 3 years so long as US government does not bail them out. Right now OoenAI is in a race to get adoption levels high enough to convince enough politicians to bail them out when they fail in next 3 years.

Hey @bwm561!
I made a tool that lets you build an MCP from your Bubble app.
MCP’s are the main resource for the AI to interact with your app. When creating an app in chatgpt it will ask you for the URL of your MCP, and the MCP will hold the different actions AI can use to interact with your Bubble app 
I wrote about it here
All these AI coding companies will be gone in a few years

Yeah that’s gonna happen
Do you really imagine OpenAI, Anthropic just disappearing?
I get the whole AI bubble and that the huge investment being made into this companies is huge, and therefore the return of investment also needs to be even bigger, but they will either be bailed as @boston85719 said or the investment will keep going
I can’t imagine OpenAI just goes bankrupt and they disappear after there so many business/governments relaying on the tech
(If in the future someone is reading this and Open AI went bankrupt please like my comment so I come back to see how wrong I was 
)
Just to clarify i was being sarcastic.
open AI isn’t going anywhere regardless of any bailout.
Sebastian, the good news if it does disappearr, I’m sure Discourse and bubble will have disappeared by then also so noone can throw our words back in our face

If OpenAI doesn’t get bailed out they can disappear like any bankrupt non profit making business does, especially those who have competitors that the client base can switch to. Unfortunately the American economy is no longer a truly free market and the sense of bail out is very real.
No way OpenAI increases revenues to $985 billion in next five years to cover existing contractual obligations and meet their debt servicing payments.

I used OpenAI a lot , every hour you ca say, but with gemini 3 and very generious pricign with Gemini AI , i think OpenAI is facing hard compitation.
i just switch to gemini 3 last 2 or 3 week, and its awesom specialy Antigravity, currently buildign a applicaiton for local LPG Contractor within antigravity.
so, @boston85719 is right, i wotn say OpenAI will dispeare but they difinatly facing compitation.

There will likely be goners and newcomers. As for the tech …. too much vesting taking place with the large infrastructure being built … along with its exponential progress … difficult to foresee it not causing a large societal impact …
Just chiming in with my own thoughts. There is a silent race for on device efficiency. This can come from hardware or model efficiency, logically it will be a result of both.
My prediction: The first players to mainstream on-device AI productivity will pop the AI data center bubble. I foresee China technology leading.
When China does this the American Stock Market will nosedive.
Definitely…BTW, I love the beard! Looking good @cmarchan

One more factor to throw into the mix, alongside model efficiency and hardware.
On phones, especially iPhones, it’s not just about how fast or cheap the models get. The platform itself limits what an AI can actually do and doesn’t let it sit around in the background or easily coordinate across other apps. These limits shape the kinds of AI products you can build and they’re probably part of why real AI workflows still end up hybrid.
funny enough I know of a community where their forum was deprecated and they decided to stand up their own Discourse instance to replace it as a fan-run space. It last 12 months, they didn’t renew haha

High probability that OpenAI loses the competition, and again very high probability of no bail outs.
Because bail outs often targets the financial institutions due banks are the second money creation machine from thin air. The other being sovereign government.
So, in order for the bailout to trigger, the problem in this case must be top down Wall Street to Main Street, and in order for that to happen they must take lots and lots of debt, else is money changing hands.
So only scenario there is AI adoption increases, big tech and other companies gets on lots and lots of debt for infrastructure banks give the money to them, OpenAI bursts, triggering risk for infrastructure companies, thus banks holding of that debts risk increases, they cant create money anymore ( can’t give loans) then bailout can happen, but for the financial institutions.
Keynote here is, in order for this to happen government must not spend enough money for a long time (not create money for a long time), thus private debt increases to a unsustainable level, and only then can that bubble burst. Currently U.S public debt is increasing (gov is spending money good sign, and private debt is stagnant ( good sign).
Boston I will tell you 6 months to 1 year prior to burst.
Speaking from a strictly business perspective…
the government will never bail out AI.
I do think Google will come out the winner.
They own:
Search
Data
Devices
Browsers
Cloud + AI Hardware
On device AI distribution
Google is a force to be reckoned with.
The funny thing about my post…I already knew the government wouldn’t bail out AI, and I figured Google was the elephant in the discussion…
I asked ChatGPT, and it confirmed my beliefs, go figure. I thought for sure it wouldn’t promote Google

I think OpenAI being “protected” in some way makes sense intuitively because they own so much distribution and market share (I read somewhere ~80% of US AI queries were OpenAI).
However, a couple of things that give me pause about them:
- They don’t exist in isolation. It’s extremely likely that Microsoft and Google are lobbying for their own interests in a “we could do it better, we have a proven track record” manner. But being an industry veteran is not a guarantee either. Look at the raise of Palentir and Anduril in a crowded space with the likes of Rytheon, Lockheed, Northrop, etc. obviously Anduril isn’t building F-35s but they have done enough to win contracts nonetheless. OpenAI could be a new tech player in much the same way.
- They need insane amounts of energy. Hundreds of megawatts. More than we have by a long shot in the US. We would have to build at an incredible clip to feed all those data centers OpenAI (and everyone else) says they need. So if that doesn’t happen, what does that mean for OpenAI? Microsoft and google sell other products. But if OpenAI can’t get the compute they need to make better foundational modals, are they at risk of international competition? Probably. And how do they pay all those billions of dollars in debt for the data centers and chips if their only product starts to flatline as a consequence of an energy chokehold?

OpenAI has mindshare.
Google has infrastructure.
If things tighten, the company that owns the building always has the advantage

True, though on-device can be a phone, a robot or dedicated plug and play hardware. I see NPUs becoming the next must have PC part as games push for better AI in game. Similar to the rise of GPUs.
Funnily enough, advancements in technologies that provide value to the human experience have always been driven by entertainment.
Games, TVs and other personal entertainment devices have been key drivers in the need for compute. Games allowed Nvidia’s success > AI boom was kickstarted using Nvidia gaming tech.
There will always be a need for massive compute in the cloud but no one needs it all the time. Beside the financial cost of always connecting to the cloud, are the connectivity set backs. It’s a horrible experience to be cutoff cause of a bad signal.
The winning player will be the one that provides the most entertainment/engagement with the lowest latency.

This is true
This is up for debate, but I hope that it is true
It is 16-22 months away right now…just need a few quarterly reports of missed revenue expectations, and a bit more time of the FED making cheap money available for the companies to pile on debt, which investors will begin to feel the combination will result in missed debt obligations, slower than expected adoption and a clear recognition that the Hype was just Hype. And if any of those pesky local groups protesting against the Data Center build outs in their areas begin to get some bigger traction and stop more data center build outs, then the regulations may be the pin that bursts the bubble.
