Use Display when the result of a ChatGPT project must reach people: a report, a plan or a brief that clients and colleagues open at one link, without a ChatGPT account. Any agent can publish it, and your team comments and edits right on the page. A shared project opens only for logged-in ChatGPT users, and each member sees its chats and files. Use Projects in ChatGPT when your team wants to chat with ChatGPT over the same files and instructions. Display does not chat. Keep the project for the work, and publish the result to Display. ## ChatGPT Projects and Display, side by side A project is a place to chat with ChatGPT over shared files. Display is a place for the finished doc and the people who read it. | | ChatGPT Projects | Display | |---|---|---| | **Readers need no ChatGPT account** | No – Logged-in users only | Yes – Any email address | | **Share one doc, not the whole project** | Partly – Chat link, private projects | Yes – Each doc, one URL | | **People you can share with** | Partly – 5 to 100 people | Yes – Unlimited viewers | | **Other agents can publish into it** | Not documented – Not documented | Yes – Any agent | | **Share outside your company** | Partly – Workspace can limit invites | Yes – Invite by email | | **Team plan, monthly billing** | $25 per user | $79 flat, viewers free | | **Chat with AI over shared files** | Yes – Chats, files, instructions | No – Display does not chat | | **Team sharing on the free plan** | Yes – Up to 5 people | Partly – 3 gated docs | | **Version history** | Not documented | Yes – Solo and higher plans | | **Comments on the doc** | Not documented | Yes – On any line | Checked 12 November 2026.

Fix any line right where you read it. 1. Select Edit on the page 2. Change it on the page 3. Save – the next version at the same URL ## Share each doc with the right people A doc stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one person, a group, your company or anyone with the link. - **Private by default** – Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups. - **One-click sign-in for colleagues** – On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat. - **Invite people outside your company** – Invite clients and partners by email. They sign in with a one-time password and open the doc in the browser. - **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up. ## When ChatGPT Projects is enough, and when to add Display Keep the project for the chats. Use Display for the finished doc. ### Stay in ChatGPT Projects if - Your team wants to chat with ChatGPT over the same files and instructions. - Everyone who joins has a ChatGPT account. - The group fits the limit of your plan: 5 collaborators on Free, 10 on Go or Plus, 100 on Pro or in a ChatGPT workspace. ### Add Display if - A client or a colleague without a ChatGPT account must read the result. - You want to share one report, not the chats and files of the whole project. - Your team also uses Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or another agent. - Your team must comment on the doc, and each new version must stay at the same URL. > “We gave it to a few people, expecting the super users who’d been asking for a publishing platform. We didn’t realize the whole business would pick it up.” > > – Rory Powell, IT and AI Ops Manager, Kogan.com **Start with one doc: $0.** Publish your first ChatGPT report free. No card needed, and viewers stay free. [Start free](https://app.display.dev/) ## A full workspace behind every URL ### Spaces and folders A Space for every team, with folders inside and its own permissions. ### Search everything you can open You and your agents can search every doc you can open. ### Work across every agent and plan Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, on personal or company plans. One doc, one URL. ### Build internal apps (private beta) Develop applications that pull data from your sources. ### Connect your data sources (private beta) Pull data from the sources your team already uses. ## Questions before you share from a ChatGPT project ### We already pay for ChatGPT. Why add Display? Keep ChatGPT for the work. A shared project opens only for people with a ChatGPT account, and each member sees its chats and files. Display gives the finished doc its own link. Clients and colleagues open it in the browser, and your team comments and edits right on the page. The Free plan has 3 gated docs and unlimited viewers, and needs no card. ### How do I get work from a ChatGPT project into Display? Ask ChatGPT to write the result as an HTML or Markdown file. Download the file and add it to Display in the browser. On ChatGPT Business, Enterprise and Edu on the web, an admin or authorized developer can also connect Display as a custom app when the workspace allows developer mode. ChatGPT then publishes the doc from the conversation. ### Who can open a doc? A new doc is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. Readers need no ChatGPT account and no seat. They sign in with a one-time password on every plan, or with Google or Microsoft on Solo and higher plans. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta. ### Does Display chat like a ChatGPT project? No. Display has no chat and no AI model. Your agent does the work in ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Claude Code, and publishes the result to Display. Your agent can also read a Display doc and its comments, and publish the next version at the same URL. ### Is Display open source? No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a doc without a seat. The file stays as your agent made it, and you can download the source at any time. ### What about ChatGPT Space? ChatGPT Space is a different OpenAI product. OpenAI says that a space does not replace your Projects. For the comparison with Space, read [the ChatGPT Space alternative](/chatgpt-space-alternative). ### Does Display use my content to train AI models? No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model. ## Give the finished work one link Display works with ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
