How does ChatGPT know to award the app? Could be a shitty idea, but I was thinking of a different way:

  1. Pay $20/month for ChatGPT access, get personal API token
  2. Sign up to 3rd party app
     a) Enter your API token into app
     b) Pay $3/month as a subscription

You are then paying ChatGPT for using its engine, and paying the 3rd party apps only for their value-add, which they determine in their pricing. In theory, you should be able to view all activity associated with your API token (across all apps) in OpenAI's dashboard. So, we're one step closer to "one profile, many apps", and OpenAI can be the profile distributor.

I like the idea of the user having their own AI profile, like an email, that other services can utilize. Just like it's up to the user to manage their email quota with Google, they would manage their AI quota with OpenAI.

You can do all this with OpenId I think…
