Chatgpt Adds Interactive Visuals With Gpt-6 Rollout
OpenAI’s Intelligent UI brings diagrams, charts and custom tools into ChatGPT conversations, with paid users getting access before free users.
OpenAI is rolling out Intelligent UI, a ChatGPT update that can place interactive visuals and custom tools directly in its answers. The feature arrives alongside GPT-6, moving some responses beyond text into diagrams, charts, buttons and other elements users can explore or adjust.

What the new answers can do
OpenAI says GPT-6 was trained to decide when an interactive visual would be more useful than text and how to present it, according to The Verge. A question about bicycle design, for example, might produce a diagram with buttons that highlight individual parts. ChatGPT can also generate a retirement savings calculator, a bill splitter or a simple game within a conversation.
In a demonstration reported by TechCrunch, OpenAI product manager Aarush Selvan asked ChatGPT to explain how an airplane wing generates lift. The answer included diagrams intended to make the concept easier to understand. TechCrunch also reported examples involving recipes, hiking maps and personal savings calculations. OpenAI’s stated aim is to make complex topics easier to learn.
Wired tested the interface before launch and generated a slug anatomy diagram with buttons for different body parts, an apartment affordability calculator with adjustable inputs, and a tool for comparing airplane seats. These examples show that the output can be tailored to a particular question rather than limited to a fixed set of graphics.
Who gets access, and when
Intelligent UI is rolling out globally to ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise users on Wednesday, with access for Go and free users following on Thursday, according to The Verge and TechCrunch. The Verge reports that higher-tier subscribers will receive GPT-6 Sol, while Go and free users will use GPT-6 Luna.
Not every answer will include a visual. Selvan told Wired that OpenAI considered when a chart, diagram or set of buttons helps and when it makes an answer feel cluttered. Users who prefer fewer visuals can ask ChatGPT to reduce them, Wired and TechCrunch report.
A shift in how chatbots present information
The Verge says OpenAI is also bringing improvements to web searches and quicker partial answers while ChatGPT gathers information. Those changes accompany the visual interface rather than being interactive visuals themselves.
Wired compares Intelligent UI with Google’s “generative UI” for Search, which can create adjustable graphics for some queries. Wired also raises a broader question for designers: as AI generates more interfaces for individual users, it may take on more decisions about what software looks like. For now, OpenAI’s examples focus on making answers easier to examine and use inside the conversation.
