I took it for a spin. I used Claude to create a self contained HTML file with JSON data embedded to create a SVG bar chart with sort and filter buttons. I then gave the HTML file to ChatGPT Work and it created the site using the provided HTML code unadulterated.
I then asked the next question. How can I automatically update the embedded JSON data. It gave two answers which I thought was weird. First, it said I could using a plugin to an MCP server. Second, it said I could use an API and when I asked for which API... it said there was an API available in ChatGPT Sites but no details. So I assume it can be done.
What I am thinking of is to use ChatGPT sites as a replacement for SharePoint. I can create self contained HTML charts and let employees view it within our enterprise instance of ChatGPT. The piece I am working on is how to automatically update the embedded data from our database.
It should have suggested using Scheduled Tasks, a feature in ChatGPT to run a prompt on a regular interval. The task can fetch up to date data, then make changes to the site and redeploy. Alternatively, if you make the site full-stack, and use the provided DB, the task can update your site by writing to the db directly or by calling an API endpoint on your site.
