## Summary

ChatGPT introduced **Intelligent UI** on October 7, a feature that generates answers as interactive diagrams, graphs, and buttons instead of plain text. 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.

A 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.

## Key points

- 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

## Why it matters

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.
