On March 10, 2026, OpenAI unveiled a strategic partnership with Shazam, aimed at incorporating a music recognition feature directly into the ChatGPT client. To utilize this functionality, users must first manually add the Shazam app within the App settings. Subsequently, they can trigger the web-based Shazam interface by issuing a command during their conversation (e.g., "Shazam, identify the song currently playing?"). Upon successful song identification, the system will display details such as the song title and artist in a visually appealing music card format. Additionally, users will have the option to directly play a 30-second preview of the song. This seamless integration eliminates the need to switch to an external app, providing a user experience akin to Siri's integration with Shazam. Currently, this feature is accessible to all ChatGPT client users who have enabled app extensions.
