ChatGPT Sites: Build internal sites and lightweight apps with Codex

Documentation dated June 2, 2026 describes ChatGPT Sites as a tool to create and share live internal webpages or lightweight apps using Codex. The guidance frames sites as compact tools for a team or project—examples include launch trackers, dashboards, calculators and onboarding pages.

Use cases and features

The materials say a site can host a single-page internal tracker or a small interactive app that accepts inputs and returns results. Typical examples listed are a launch tracker with milestones and owners, a weekly-review dashboard, a calculator that compares options, and an onboarding page with resources and next steps.

The documentation also states that ChatGPT Sites includes hosting, access controls, storage and database support, and that creators can share a deployed URL with people in their workspace. For Enterprise workspaces, admins control whether ChatGPT Sites is available.

How to build and maintain a site

The guide outlines a five-step workflow: describe the site requirements to Codex; review the first version; request changes from Codex; deploy the site and obtain a URL; then share it with the intended audience. Creators are advised to test the main experience and adjust content, structure, labels and any interactive elements before wider distribution.

Because sites cannot connect directly to live data today, the documentation recommends using a separate automation to gather and summarize regular updates. An example given is an automation that runs each weekday morning to summarize changes to an approved project tracker; that summary can then be reviewed and used to refresh the site.

The guidance recommends starting with a small, focused use case that solves a clear problem for a defined group. Admins are asked to review which users can create and share sites, which sites exist in the workspace, who has access, and when a site should be removed.

Deployment notes in the documentation indicate Codex provides an in-app workflow to build, revise and deploy a site, and that creators should open the deployed URL in a supported browser to verify the result before sharing it more broadly.
