OpenAI Launches Appshots: Context Sharing for AI Assistants via Hotkey
OpenAIDevs · x · 2026-08-29
OpenAI has introduced Appshots, a feature that allows users to share the context of their current application window directly with ChatGPT Work or Codex via a hotkey (⌘ 🤘⌘). This enables the AI to understand what the user is viewing and take action. Potential use cases include:
- Summarizing Slack threads or identifying themes in X replies.
- Filling out forms or adding app features based on API documentation.
- Filtering DMs that need replies or drafting follow-ups.
- Converting notes into presentation decks or assisting with video trimming in iMovie.
