ChatGPT's Visualize turns meeting notes into interactive screens

The example in the video is a meeting transcript from event planning. Feeding these notes into ChatGPT produces a single screen laying out what's been decided, how the delivery schedule shook out, and which items are still unresolved. It doesn't stop there — asking for something like "show this as a calendar" prompts ChatGPT to redraw the same information as a calendar view, and you can keep iterating with further requests like this.

A feature that builds on the ChatGPT work flow

OpenAI has been rolling out content in recent weeks that treats ChatGPT as a workplace tool. As covered in ChatGPT Work: internal demo shows everything from meeting briefs to strategy decks, on August 19 OpenAI showed how sales, marketing, and strategy teams turn meeting notes and research materials into organized documents. This new Visualize video, which also centers on processing meeting notes, fits into that same broader push.

How to try it

The workflow shown in the video happens entirely within the chat window — there's no separate menu or button to click. The skill activates simply through what you ask for.

1. Paste a document with a lot of information, like meeting notes, into a ChatGPT or Codex conversation and ask it to organize the content into a screen.
2. Once processed, an interface appears showing decisions made, ongoing schedules, and items still undecided, all in one view.
3. Asking for a different format — for example, "show this as a calendar" — redraws the same content as a calendar view.
4. You can also ask for clickable buttons that send prompts back into the chat, turning the screen into something interactive that you can navigate across tabs.
5. Once you're happy with the result, you can export it as an image or publish it as a website and share the link with your team.

The video confirms this workflow works in both ChatGPT and Codex. It didn't mention anything about plan tiers or country-specific restrictions.

What you can actually do with it

Gil Guzman said she uses this feature often — both as a morning briefing to quickly get up to speed on a topic, and to organize the status of ongoing projects. For example, you can pull together emails and notes from multiple departments into one view before starting your day, or share a project's timeline and open items with teammates through a single link. For teams with frequent meetings, this skill could cut down the time spent reorganizing notes every time.

Step	Input	Output
1	Paste meeting notes + request organization	Interface showing decisions, schedule, open items
2	Request "show as calendar"	Reformatted as calendar view
3	Request to share	Saved as image or shared as website link

Editor's take

OpenAI's recent direction suggests a shift in emphasis — from a chatbot that just spits out text answers to a tool that builds the output into an actual screen. Anthropic's Artifacts and Google Gemini's Canvas move in a similar direction, but what sets OpenAI apart here is attaching this same capability to Codex, a coding agent, not just ChatGPT. Compared to the days when you'd get a document summarized as plain text, the real difference with this skill is that you can ask for the same content to be redrawn repeatedly in different formats — a calendar, a screen with buttons, and so on.

The busier an organization's meeting schedule, the more time tends to get quietly eaten up organizing meeting notes and research materials. Instead of manually copying that material into tables or slide decks every time, it's worth trying to paste it into ChatGPT and just ask for the format you want. That said, it's too early to tell from this video alone whether the feature is polished enough to replace formal internal reporting documents — teams will need to run it a few times themselves and check the accuracy of the output first.

In the coming weeks, it seems likely we'll see more examples of this skill applied to code reviews or project dashboards on the Codex side. Given that ChatGPT Work and Visualize have both come out of the same team in quick succession, it's fair to read this as OpenAI moving toward making screen output — not text output — the default way ChatGPT responds.
