Chat Apps
A Chat App is like having the AI build you a small, custom web page on the spot — a dashboard, a chart, a calculator, or a form — instead of just describing it in words. You ask for something interactive, and it appears in a panel next to the conversation, ready to click through.
Why it matters
Some answers are far more useful when you can interact with them. A table of numbers becomes a filterable chart; a set of options becomes a calculator; a pile of data becomes a dashboard. Apps turn the chat's output into something you can explore, not just read.
How it works
- Ask for something interactive — for example, "build a dashboard from this data" or "make a chart I can filter."
- The app appears in a side panel to the right of the conversation. You can expand it to fullscreen for a closer look.
- Interact with it — click buttons, change filters, type into fields, and preview files inside the app.
- Share it — turn on sharing to get a public link you can send to others.
Apps are often powered by a dataset the chat builds from your files or its own work, so the app shows your real data live.
If an app doesn't load correctly, you'll see a Retry button to reload it and a Fix with AI button that sends the problem back to the chat so it can correct the app for you.
What apps can do
| An app can… | Example |
|---|---|
| Visualize data | Charts, graphs, and dashboards from your numbers |
| Take input | Forms, calculators, and filters you fill in |
| Show files | Preview images, PDFs, spreadsheets, and documents inside the app |
| Export | Download results or files the app produces |
Example
You upload three months of website traffic and ask for "an interactive dashboard." The chat organizes the data and builds an app with charts you can filter by date — all in the side panel. You turn on sharing and send the link to a teammate.
