OpenAI Unveils Visual‑Rich Interface for ChatGPT with New GPT‑6 Model

By Lucas Ropek

OpenAI is rolling out a new feature called Intelligent UI, set to launch on Wednesday alongside the GPT‑6 model. The interface will embed a wide range of visual elements into conversations, many of which will be interactive. Users can expect tappable buttons, custom calculators, interactive charts, editable graphs, and other directly manipulable components. The company says the goal is to make learning complex topics easier and to broaden ChatGPT’s appeal.

During a briefing with journalists, OpenAI staff demonstrated the new UI’s ability to generate diagrams and visuals on demand. Product manager Aarush Selvan explained that while ChatGPT has largely been text‑based, the company wants to provide more useful answers that go beyond text. He illustrated this by asking the chatbot to “explore how an airplane wing generates lift,” and the system produced several diagrams showing lift generation.

Other examples shown included visuals for recipes, a bicycle‑mechanics diagram, a multi‑day hiking map, a personal savings calculator, and more. The feature will be customizable; users who prefer fewer visuals can adjust the settings.

Intelligent UI will be available worldwide to Pro, Plus, Business, and Enterprise subscribers on GPT‑6, and will reach free and Go tier users the following day.
