The system uses **GPT-6** to assemble pre-built components dynamically, adapting formats like side-by-side comparisons or sliders for user input. OpenAI claims the AI selects the best format for each question, though results vary by query.\n\nA tester compared it to **Claude**, which requires explicit requests for interactive answers (e.g., *“Make it a diagram”*). Claude generated a **90-line code snippet** to create a savings calculator with sliders, showing real-time changes. The author shared prompts to replicate these features, including templates for diagrams and video explanations. While not all models support this yet, the trend toward **generative UIs**—seen in Google’s **Generative UI** (November 2025) and Claude’s **moving diagrams** (March 2026)—suggests a shift toward interactive AI responses.","keyPoints":["ChatGPT’s Intelligent UI uses GPT-6 to generate interactive answers like diagrams and sliders, adapting per question","Claude requires explicit prompts (*‘Make it a diagram’*) to create interactive visuals, including code for sliders","Three companies (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) are developing similar generative UI features, with OpenAI’s launch in October 2026"],"whyItMatters":"Interactive AI answers could replace static text, letting users explore data dynamically—useful for finance, education, or design. Early adoption may hinge on how well models balance automation with user control.","category":{"slug":"agents","name":"Agents & Tools","url":"https://digestai.news/category/agents"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI","Google","Anthropic"],"models":["GPT-6","Claude"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-12T09:09:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-12T09:09:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"note.com","title":"AI answers have become 'apps'.
