50 things to do with ChatGPT's Intelligent UI

Here are 50 things to do with ChatGPT's Intelligent UI. The first 10 come with a screenshot and the exact prompt. The other 40 are prompts to try. Copy one, change the numbers to yours, and paste it into a new chat.

What Intelligent UI is

Intelligent UI came with GPT-6 in ChatGPT. OpenAI says an answer can now include "graphics, tappable buttons, forms, charts, and interactive experiences you can use directly in your conversation."

So instead of reading a wall of text, you drag a slider, tick a box or play a round. You don't switch anything on. ChatGPT picks the format for each question, and a simple question still gets plain text.

How to get the most from it:

• Name the tool you want: "a calculator", "a form", "a quiz", "let me try it".
• Say what you want to change: "let me adjust the budget", "add a slider for tax".
• Got plain text? Ask for the tool in the same chat.
• Want fewer visuals? On the web: Personalization, Layout and Visuals, Simple.

The first 10, with screenshots

01. Bill splitter

Build me a bill splitter for dinner with four friends. The bill is $340 before tax. Tax is 8% and we tip 18%. Two of us didn't drink, so let me tick who had drinks and split the drinks part ($96) only between them.

A calculator for five people, you plus four friends. Tick who had drinks and every share updates. With 8% tax and an 18% tip, the total comes to $428.40.

02. Retirement calculator

Build me a retirement savings calculator. I'm 30, saving $500 a month, and I expect about 7% a year.

It shows $900,527 at 65, with sliders for your age, retirement age, monthly savings and return. Drag the monthly amount to $1,050 and the total climbs to $1,891,107. An inflation slider shows what that total would buy now.

03. Lease or buy

Should I lease or buy a $35,000 car? Compare them side by side for me.

Lease at $546 a month against buying at $693, side by side, with a chart and a form to rerun it with your own numbers. Over three years leasing came out about $1,500 cheaper, but it suggests buying if you keep the car five years or more.

04. Road trip on a map

Plan a 4-day road trip down the California coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and show me the stops worth a detour.

It looks up the route, then draws it on a map with every stop. Tap a pin for a place card with the rating, opening hours and directions.

05. Dinner for a changing guest list

Give me a plan for a sunday lamb roast, I'm having friends over still figuring out numbers tbh

A menu, a cooking schedule and a guest counter that includes you. Go from 6 to 8 guests and the lamb goes from 2.1 kg to 2.8 kg, the potatoes from 1.8 kg to 2.4 kg.

06. RSVP form

Make me an RSVP form for a kid's birthday party: name, number of guests, food allergies.

Name, attending, number of guests and allergies, with a button to copy the reply. It doesn't collect answers for you, so you copy the reply and send it yourself.

07. Capsule wardrobe

Help me build a capsule wardrobe for autumn, about 10 pieces.

A colour palette, ten pieces and six outfits, then a short form for your style, climate and budget. Submit it and the plan is redone for you, with a budget table.

08. How a bike's gears work

break down the design of a 7-speed bike

A parts table and a gear slider. Drag from gear 1 to gear 7 and the highlighted sprocket and the riding tip change with it.

09. A statistics idea you can play with

Explain the central limit theorem so I can play with it.

A probability chart you can change. Pick 1 to 50 dice rolls per average and watch the bars go from flat to a narrow bell.

10. The Monty Hall game

Explain the Monty Hall problem and let me try it.

Three doors and a scoreboard. Pick a door, the host opens one with a goat, switch, and see why switching wins about two times in three.
