ChatGPT Now Draws Pictures and Builds Tools Right in Your Chat
No more plain text — get charts, buttons, and mini-apps instantly.
OpenAI has launched a new feature called Intelligent UI in ChatGPT. This means the chatbot can now respond to your questions with interactive visuals like diagrams, charts, forms, and buttons, not just plain text. For example, if you ask about a bicycle's design, ChatGPT might show you a labeled diagram with buttons to highlight different parts. You can also ask it to create tools like a retirement savings calculator or a bill splitter, and it will generate them right inside the conversation. This update comes with GPT-6, OpenAI's newest AI model, which powers these capabilities.
The update is rolling out globally starting today for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise users. Free and Go users will get it on Thursday. Higher-tier subscribers get access to the mid-range GPT-6 Sol model, while free users get the more efficient GPT-6 Luna. Besides the visual features, GPT-6 also improves web searches and provides quicker, partial answers while it gathers more information. OpenAI says GPT-6 is also better at resisting attempts to bypass its safety training.
So what does this mean for you? If you use ChatGPT for work or personal tasks, this could make it much more useful. Instead of just reading text, you can see and interact with information. For example, you could ask for a budget planner and get an interactive tool instantly. This saves time and makes complex topics easier to understand. It's like having a personal assistant who can draw, build, and explain things on the fly. The catch? This feature is only for paid users at first, so free users have to wait a few days. Also, while the visuals are helpful, they might not always be perfect, so you should double-check important information.
