OpenAI adds 1 showcase tab for builders

OpenAI announced 1 new Showcase tab for its Developers plugin on the 7th of November 2026. Its official developer account shared the update.

The post also pointed eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business users to developer credits. Those credits help cover an app's use of OpenAI's service.

What the OpenAI plugin does

A plugin adds tools to an AI assistant. OpenAI's guide says this one helps users build apps, set up service access and fix errors.

The guide covers ChatGPT and Codex. It also describes versions for Claude Code and Cursor that include developer skills and access to public docs.

Those versions do not include the same service connection as Codex, the guide says. The differences matter when choosing where to build.

Below we break down the update

The post announces one new tab. It also mentions an existing credit offer, making two distinct items in the message, in total.

OpenAI's ChatGPT release notes date that credit benefit to the 28th of October 2026. This post does not establish a new credit launch.

What is confirmed and what is not
