OpenAI Says ChatGPT Sites Has Passed 5 Million Creations

Three months after launching ChatGPT Sites, OpenAI says people have created more than 5 million of them. Its September 11 update pairs that company-reported milestone with new ways to edit a Site with teammates or share one privately with specific people.

OpenAI describes ChatGPT Sites as a way to build and host fully functional, interactive web applications. The 5 million figure is a count of Sites created since launch; it does not show how many people actively use the product, how often those Sites are used, or whether they remain online.

More than 5 millionChatGPT Sites created

OpenAI reported the total on September 11. It measures Sites created since launch, rather than active users.

The two sharing options are distinct. OpenAI says teammates can be invited to edit, save and publish a shared Site. Separately, a creator can invite specific people to a private Site without making it public, preserving a narrower route for access.

Other changes span data, deployment and web addresses

• OpenAI says users can ask ChatGPT to inspect a Site database, and that editors can view the database as well.
• Sites supports adding a custom domain, according to OpenAI.
• OpenAI says Sites now goes from prompt to deployment in half the time.

The deployment-speed statement differs from the feature descriptions: it is a performance claim. OpenAI did not provide an independent benchmark or measurement methodology in its post, leaving no published basis for comparing the claimed reduction with another workflow or product.

The update places the product’s creation claim beside controls for who can participate and how a finished Site can be reached. Shared editing, private invitations, database inspection and custom domains all concern work around a Site after a user has started building it. The milestone signals early creation volume; the update supplies more ways to handle those creations with other people or under a custom web address.
