ChatGPT is a good marketing partner on its own, but it can't see your ad accounts, your analytics or what your competitors are running. Apps fix that. An app connects ChatGPT to a real tool, so instead of guessing, it reads live data and, with some apps, takes action for you.
These are the ChatGPT apps worth adding for ads and marketing in 2026: what each one does inside ChatGPT and who it's right for. Every app on this list is one you can add from inside ChatGPT today. We only included apps whose own makers describe them as working in ChatGPT, so the list is shorter than most.

1. AdWhispr: best for going from research to a live campaign
AdWhispr covers the whole job of running ads from ChatGPT: figuring out what to run, making the ad, and getting it live. It also starts one step earlier than anything else here. You don't need to know who your competitors are. Tell ChatGPT what you sell and AdWhispr finds them, checks which ones are advertising right now, and shows you what's already working in your category. We wrote up the launch in AdWhispr is now in the ChatGPT app store.
Research. Ask who your competitors are and AdWhispr checks, the moment you ask, which brands in your space are running ads today. Their ads show up right in the chat, longest-running first. How long an ad has run is the best public signal of a winner, because nobody keeps paying for an ad that loses money (here's why days running works). You can also put two brands side by side, get a competitive brief, research live TikTok ads, and pull real Google keyword data, including the keywords your competitors go after.
Creative. Found an ad that's been running for months? Ask for your own version of it. AdWhispr makes it, image or video, with your product in it, and ChatGPT gives you a link to the finished ad in the AdWhispr app. From there you can launch it from the same chat. You can also turn a competitor's TikTok ad into a shoot-ready script for your brand.
Launch and manage. Connect your ad accounts and launch on Meta, Google (Search, Performance Max, YouTube and Shopping), TikTok, X, Reddit and ChatGPT Ads. Every campaign is created paused, so nothing spends until you say so. After that, check performance, move budget, pause or resume, just by asking.
Why it's number one: it's the only app on this list that finds your competitors for you, makes the ad, and launches it on six ad platforms, all from one conversation. The others each cover one slice of that job.
Get it: open the AdWhispr listing in ChatGPT, click Install, and sign in to AdWhispr or create a free account. No credit card.
2. Supermetrics: best for reporting on your own marketing data
Supermetrics is a long-established marketing data company, and it has an app in ChatGPT. Per its ChatGPT page, you find Supermetrics in the ChatGPT app store, start a conversation, and link your Supermetrics account. It then pulls fresh data from your sources, like Google Analytics 4 and your ad platforms, each time you ask a question.
Strengths: blended reporting. If your question is "how did every channel do last month," this is the tool. The same page also says it can create, pause and modify campaigns across Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, TikTok Ads and LinkedIn Ads.
What it doesn't do: competitor ad research or ad creative. It works on your own data.
Best fit if your main need is reporting across many sources, especially for a team with clients to report to.
3. Semrush: best for SEO and search competitor data
Semrush launched an official app in ChatGPT in December 2025. Per its announcement, it brings live Semrush data into the chat: traffic, ranking and visibility metrics for tracking competitors, plus keyword clusters, content outlines and gap analyses for content planning. You sign in to Semrush once and your Semrush permissions decide what you can see.
Strengths: organic search. If your marketing runs on SEO and content, Semrush's data is the reference point for many teams.
Things to know: per its announcement, the app is for customers on certain Semrush plans, and its help docs say it uses the API units on your Semrush account. It doesn't launch or manage ad campaigns.
Best fit if organic search matters as much to you as paid.
4. HubSpot: best for asking questions about your CRM
HubSpot's connector lets you ask questions about your HubSpot data in ChatGPT and act on it. Per HubSpot's page, it supports write actions like creating and updating campaigns, landing pages and leads inside HubSpot, and it follows your existing HubSpot permissions, so you only see what you're allowed to see. HubSpot says it's available to customers on all plans who have an OpenAI account, and a super admin sets it up first for a team.
Strengths: connecting marketing to the leads and deals it actually produced.
What it doesn't do: run your Meta or Google ads. The campaigns it creates are HubSpot records, not ad campaigns.
Best fit if HubSpot is your system of record and you want answers from it without building reports.
5. Canva: best for quick designs
Canva was one of the first apps in ChatGPT. Per Canva's newsroom, you can create, preview and edit Canva designs right in the chat, and search and summarize designs you already have. Ask for "an Instagram post for our weekend sale" and you get a design you can open and edit in Canva.
Strengths: fast social graphics, resizing and on-brand touch-ups.
Things to know: Canva's own pages note it isn't available in every region yet, and some features need a paid Canva plan. It makes designs from your description; it doesn't know which ads are working in your market.
Best fit if you need a graphic in a hurry and already use Canva.
How to choose
Start with the job you most need done:
- "I don't know what ads to run." You need research first. AdWhispr finds the competitors advertising right now, shows you their proven winners, and takes you through creative and launch.
- "I know what to run, I just need it built and launched." AdWhispr makes the ad from a proven one and launches it on Meta, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit or ChatGPT Ads, every campaign paused until you turn it on.
- "I want reports, not new ads." Supermetrics.
- "I live in SEO." Semrush.
- "I want CRM answers." HubSpot.
- "I need a graphic now." Canva.
Most marketers end up with two or three of these. A common setup is AdWhispr for ads, plus Canva for organic social or HubSpot for the CRM side.
Whichever you pick, make sure every new campaign starts paused. An AI that can spend your money without asking is a bad deal. If you're launching for the first time, our first campaign guide covers what to check before you turn it on, and reading performance and cutting wasted spend covers what to do after.

FAQ
What is a ChatGPT app?
It's an add-on that lets ChatGPT use an outside tool, like your ad account, your CRM or a design tool. You add it from ChatGPT's app store (OpenAI calls it the Plugins Directory), sign in to the tool, and then just ask in plain words.
Which ChatGPT app can launch ads?
From this list: AdWhispr (Meta, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit and ChatGPT Ads). Supermetrics' ChatGPT page also says it can create, pause and modify campaigns. AdWhispr is the one that also finds your competitors and makes the ad.
Can a ChatGPT app show me my competitors' ads?
AdWhispr can. It checks which brands in your space are advertising right now and shows their ads in the chat, sorted by how long each has been running. Plain ChatGPT can't: web search finds articles about ads, not the ads themselves.
Can ChatGPT make ads that copy what works for competitors?
With AdWhispr, yes. Pick a competitor's long-running ad and ask for your own version. AdWhispr makes it, image or video, with your product, and ChatGPT links you to it in the AdWhispr app, ready to launch from the chat.
Is it safe to connect my ad account to ChatGPT?
It can be, if the app asks before it changes anything. AdWhispr creates every campaign paused and shows you what it's about to do first. Our Meta, Google and TikTok docs cover the setup for each platform.
Do any of these show a competitor's ROAS or click-through rate?
They shouldn't. Public ad libraries don't publish those numbers for other people's ads, so anything claiming them is guessing. Here's why we won't show them.
Can I advertise inside ChatGPT itself?
Yes. ChatGPT Ads are a real ad platform now, and AdWhispr can launch and manage them from the chat. Our guide to advertising on ChatGPT explains how they work.
Get started
- Open AdWhispr in ChatGPT's app store and click Install.
- Sign in to AdWhispr, or create a free account. No credit card.
- Ask: "Who are my competitors and which of their ads are working? My site is yourstore.com"
