OpenAI has released two separate updates for ChatGPT this week: a Shazam integration for in-app music recognition and a new interactive visual system for math and science topics. Both features are designed to make ChatGPT more useful for everyday tasks and learning.
ChatGPT can now identify songs using Shazam
ChatGPT can now identify songs through a direct Shazam integration, allowing users to recognize music without opening the Shazam app. The feature works through the Apps section of ChatGPT, where Shazam must connect manually. It is not enabled by default.
Once connected, users can activate recognition by typing commands such as “Shazam” or “Shazam this song.” ChatGPT listens to the surrounding audio, runs it through the Shazam recognition system, and returns the song title, artist name, and album art within the conversation. A track preview is also available directly from the results.
The integration works even if the standalone Shazam app is not installed. If installed, identified songs can be saved to the Shazam library. After identification, users can ask ChatGPT to search for similar tracks, retrieve artist information, or create a playlist based on the result. The feature is available on iOS and Android.
Interactive visual explanations for math and science within GPT
OpenAI has also introduced dynamic visual explanations, a feature designed to help users understand complex math and science topics. Instead of only providing written explanations, ChatGPT can now display interactive diagrams and visual modules that respond to user input.
For example, by exploring the Pythagorean theorem, users can adjust the sides of a triangle and see the hypotenuse update in real time. Changing numbers or variables immediately updates the visual model.
Currently, the function supports more than 70 topics, including the area of a circle, linear equations, compound interest, kinetic energy, Ohm’s law, exponential decay, and Coulomb’s law.
Users can activate these images by asking questions like “How do I calculate compound interest?” either “What is the lens equation?”
OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT’s role beyond just text
According to OpenAI, more than 140 million people use ChatGPT weekly for help with math and science, making education one of the assistant’s biggest use cases.
OpenAI says the interactive visual system will expand to more topics in the future, while integrations like Shazam show how ChatGPT is gradually becoming a hub for multiple apps and services.
The feature is available to all logged in ChatGPT users. Google’s Gemini launched a comparable interactive diagrams feature in November 2025.
