OpenAI is giving ChatGPT a visual redesign with buttons, a built-in calculator and adjustable graphs, aimed at making it easier for newcomers to use.
ChatGPT is about to look less like a plain chat window. OpenAI, the company behind it, calls the new design Intelligent UI. It adds buttons, a built-in calculator and graphs you can adjust, according to London Business News, which cites an October TechCrunch report.
Until now, ChatGPT has mostly been a two-way text conversation. You type a question and it types back. The new design puts more weight on visuals and graphic cues. The extras are not just still pictures. The graphs can be changed, and the calculator sits inside the tool. The update is tied to GPT-6, OpenAI's latest model, which is the AI engine behind ChatGPT.
The redesign is meant to give people new to ChatGPT a smoother start. If the text-only format felt confusing, buttons and charts may make it easier to try for everyday jobs like quick math or a simple chart.
The material does not give a release date, a price, or say which devices and plans will get the new look. The extras are described as planned, and the rollout as coming soon. The report also notes that ChatGPT has drawn criticism and has limits. It works from information already available online and does not produce truly original answers. A better layout does not change that.
