OpenAI needs a faster review funnel already approved apps

Thanks @casey-chow! Below some details from our experience (hope this helps with internal prioritisation).

App Review

1. Initial review ~ 2.5 months > rejected (erroneously) > appealed > approved.

2. Rejection emails sometimes have no explanation/context

Bugs/Issues

1. https://platform.openai.com/apps-manage not showing my apps for ~3 days (is working again now)

2. Conversation scoped state - for multi-turn app experiences (this is really important in our case)

3. Switching to full screen causes flicker/re-render of the widget (on desktop)

   window.openai.requestDisplayMode({
      mode: 'fullscreen'
   });
   

4. More control over the model followup message after widget renders (href)

Why we need to update

Our app allows/requires multiple turns. We had to build our own conversation scoped state management (storing an ID). This (write action) triggers a permission dialogue for the user after the first turn and totally breaks the experience. Update focuses on a single turn and more UI focused experience.

Question: Any guidance/insight if/when apps may be invoked automatically without users having to manually add it? Discovery/distribution is effectively non-existent atm?

Hope this helps!
