When Do Our Apps Surface To Users? Clarification Requested
OpenAI Developer Community
May 11, 2026
I agree this would be very helpful. Right now, it’s difficult for developers to understand why some apps get surfaced more frequently while others do not appear in their selected categories.
More transparency around:
App discovery criteria
Ranking/signals used
Category review process
Quality expectations
User engagement factors
would help developers improve their apps in the right direction instead of guessing.
Even basic guidance on what influences visibility most would make a big difference for teams investing serious development time into the ecosystem.
Hopefully the OpenAI team can provide more clarity on this soon.
