The new capability, revealed at OpenAI DevDay, turns what was previously largely an identity feature into a way for users to apply their paid ChatGPT subscription to tools such as the AI coding platforms Amp, Devin, Lovable and OpenClaw, as well as productivity and developer platforms including Notion and Vercel.
Speaking on stage, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the move is intended to lower the barrier to adoption for third-party tools that integrate with ChatGPT. “This makes it easier for people to try your product,” Altman said. “They’re already paying for an AI subscription, and now you don’t have to cover their token costs to get them going.”
OpenAI had originally released Sign in with ChatGPT as a beta feature in July, in partnership with companies including Airtable, GitLab, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase and Vercel. At that time, the feature was primarily focused on identity: users could create or access an account on participating sites using their ChatGPT login, while supported plugins could use the same sign-in process to create or link an account with the underlying service.
Tuesday's announcement extends that feature to include plan usage, allowing subscribers to bring their ChatGPT token allowance into integrated third-party products without the developer having to cover those costs.
The DevDay event also saw OpenAI unveil Dots, a new class of always-on agents, and GPT-6.1 Sol, its latest model designed for coding, computer use and professional work.
