ChatGPT now generates the interface while it talks
“ChatGPT just started building the app while you wait.”
The Story
OpenAI is putting GPT-6 in ChatGPT for more than a billion weekly users and training it to answer with live charts, tappable diagrams, forms, sliders, and custom tools generated inside the conversation. Examples include an interactive bicycle diagram, a plane-seat explorer that highlights exit rows, and a savings calculator you can drag. Text-only answers still exist when they fit better.
Why It Matters
The chatbot stopped being a voice in a box and started being the GUI. Everyday people now get software assembled on the fly by a model that decides when pictures beat paragraphs.
Evidence
