ChatGPT Sites: Build and Publish Websites

ChatGPT Sites Turns Ideas into Publishable Websites

ChatGPT Sites is OpenAI's conversational tool for building websites. Users can describe a website, app, or game in natural language, add files or visual references, or start from a compatible Codex project while ChatGPT helps shape the result.

The workflow covers creation, previewing, revision, and publishing. A site opens in ChatGPT's in-app browser for testing before publication, allowing users to request changes to layout, content, or features. Owners can keep updating it and invite active members of the same workspace to edit.

ChatGPT Sites Adds Access Controls, Storage, and Tool Connections

A site can remain limited to its creator and workspace administrators, or be shared with selected people, a workspace, or the public. With “Sign in with ChatGPT,” visitors can save progress, while built-in storage can retain information and uploaded documents or images. Users can also rename the hosted address or connect a custom domain.

ChatGPT Sites Still Depends on Access and Permission Limits

The feature is currently in public beta for eligible Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu plans. Availability, usage limits, and workspace controls vary by plan and region. In eligible Business and Enterprise workspaces, visitors may authorize a site to read information from their connected tools, but only information they already have permission to access; the site cannot use the creator's connections or modify those tools.

ChatGPT Sites may shorten the path from an idea to a shareable prototype, but it does not remove the governance questions of product development. External viewer invitations are rolling out on eligible plans and may require approval. Data from a visitor's connected tools is available only while that person uses the site and is not available to scheduled background tasks, so teams should verify permissions, data retention, and plan limits before publishing.
