OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Sites for Building and Hosting Web Apps

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Sites, a feature that allows users to build, host, and share websites and apps directly within ChatGPT. The tool enables users to describe their ideas in plain language, refine the output through conversation, and publish the final product without needing coding knowledge.

Workflow and Features

Users can start by describing what they want to build or by mentioning @Sites. ChatGPT opens the site in an in-app browser for real-time testing and refinement before publication. Once ready, sites can be shared with selected individuals, the entire workspace, or the public. Key capabilities include:

• Built-in Storage: Visitors can save progress and upload files (documents, images) using Sign in with ChatGPT.
• Tool Integration: In eligible Business and Enterprise workspaces, sites can request read-only access to users' connected tools, respecting existing permission levels.
• Custom Domains: Users can rename the ChatGPT-hosted URL or connect a custom domain, with automatic redirects for old addresses.
• Collaboration: Workspace members can be invited to edit and publish updates after the initial launch.

Availability and Access

ChatGPT Sites is currently in public beta. Access is limited to eligible plans, including ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Usage limits, workspace controls, and specific feature availability (such as external viewer invitations) vary by plan and region.
