OpenAI adds interactive charts and buttons to ChatGPT answers
By Automate Basics, written with AI from The Verge's original
OpenAI is rolling out an Intelligent UI feature that lets ChatGPT combine written answers with interactive visuals and tools. The change gives people at work a way to explore a diagram, chart or form within a conversation.
What changed in ChatGPT
OpenAI says ChatGPT can now include diagrams, charts, forms and tappable buttons alongside written answers. The feature, called Intelligent UI, uses GPT-6 to decide when an interactive visual would be more useful than text alone and how to present it in the conversation.
The examples reported by The Verge include a bicycle diagram with buttons that highlight its parts and a scrollable visual guide to Mahjong tiles. OpenAI also says ChatGPT can generate a small tool within a reply, such as a bill splitter or calculator. For someone using ChatGPT at work, the practical change is that an answer may offer something to inspect or adjust, rather than only a paragraph to read.
Who can use ChatGPT's Intelligent UI?
OpenAI is rolling out GPT-6 with Intelligent UI globally to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users starting October 7, according to The Verge. Access is due to expand to Go and free users on Thursday. The report says the higher-tier plans receive the GPT-6 Sol model, while Go and free users receive GPT-6 Luna.
The source does not give subscription prices or say whether every user on an eligible plan will see the feature immediately. Its rollout wording matters if a colleague has access before you do. The announcement also does not identify a separate charge for making an interactive reply, so there is no basis here for comparing the cost of these visuals with an ordinary ChatGPT answer.
How do I try it at work?
A useful first test for ChatGPT's Intelligent UI is a task where you would normally sketch a chart or build a simple calculator to make an explanation easier to use. You could ask for a visual comparison of options or a bill splitter for a shared work expense, then see whether the reply provides controls or a visual layout that helps you check the reasoning.
Check the underlying figures and assumptions before using any result for a decision. If ChatGPT produces a chart, compare its categories and values with your source material. If it produces a form or calculator, try a case whose answer you can work out yourself. OpenAI's examples show what the feature can generate, not a guarantee that every prompt will produce an interactive reply.

Can ChatGPT make a tool inside an answer?
