Who can open a page an AI assistant publishes for you?

Last updated 2026-08-24 · Confidence: documented — OpenAI and Anthropic help-center pages; the Business-plan public-publishing default is the one inferred claim.

Both ChatGPT (Sites) and Claude (published artifacts) can host a page for you, but on business plans the default audience is your own workspace. Sharing with outsiders means turning on public publishing in ChatGPT, or — since Claude Team/Enterprise artifacts stay org-only — exporting the HTML to ordinary hosting.

ChatGPT’s built-in publisher is called Sites

Section titled “ChatGPT’s built-in publisher is called Sites”

ChatGPT Sites builds, hosts, and deploys interactive websites and lightweight apps from a chat; each deployment gets a production URL. Business and Enterprise workspaces had it first; the July 9, 2026 release notes added public publishing and a public beta on other paid plans.

A Site’s audience is a setting, and business defaults are workspace-bound

Section titled “A Site’s audience is a setting, and business defaults are workspace-bound”

The audience options are:

  • owner and workspace admins;
  • selected users or groups, where supported;
  • anyone in the workspace, where supported;
  • anyone on the internet — “only when public publishing is enabled.”

Invited viewers “must sign in with the account that received access”; only a public Site opens without an account. In Enterprise workspaces public publishing is off by default and needs an admin. Business docs say Sites is enabled by default but don’t state the public-publishing default.

Plain conversation share links are stricter: on Business and Enterprise, someone outside the workspace gets an access error, full stop.

Claude’s equivalent is publishing an artifact

Section titled “Claude’s equivalent is publishing an artifact”

Published artifacts on Free/Pro/Max are public — viewable without any Claude account. On Team/Enterprise, only members of the organization can view, after authenticating; the docs list no toggle to widen this.

When the scope doesn’t fit, host outside

Section titled “When the scope doesn’t fit, host outside”

For external viewers or a custom domain beyond what these settings allow, export the page’s HTML and host it on any ordinary web host — for a data-driven page, see Sheet-backed dashboards.
