# You built it, now show it off and share it.

## Retrieval answer

OpenAI is turning the ChatGPT profile into a discovery surface for user-built work, but visibility remains permission-bound.

OpenAI is turning the ChatGPT profile into a discovery surface for user-built work, but visibility remains permission-bound. Users can make personal profiles public and showcase up to 12 Sites; public-profile viewers must sign in, and each showcased Site must independently be public. The documentation says shared profiles do not expose conversation titles or content.

The mechanism is a profile-level directory layered over existing workspace and Site permissions. A profile can surface identity, selected activity metrics, top plugins, and Sites, while access to each Site remains governed by its own sharing configuration. Business profile visibility is controlled by workspace administrators, and a personal profile’s public setting does not make workspace activity or showcase public.

This matters now because OpenAI’s DevDay features are in gradual rollout, creating a new way to discover and reuse work without making all underlying artifacts public. The evidence is a help-center description of intended product behavior, not independent verification of rollout breadth or actual adoption. Watch for whether profile discovery increases reuse while preserving the separate permissions model.

Thesis: ChatGPT profiles are becoming a discovery layer for user-built work, without replacing the permission controls on the work itself.
Mechanism: A profile aggregates selected identity, activity, plugins, and Sites, while each Site and workspace retains its own access rules.
Why now: OpenAI is gradually rolling out the profile features announced at DevDay, adding a new discovery surface for shared work.
Evidence boundary: The supplied source is OpenAI’s help-center description; it does not establish rollout breadth, adoption, or observed security outcomes.
First implication: Users can make work easier to find without making every showcased Site accessible to everyone.
First watch condition: Watch whether profile-based discovery drives reuse while Site and workspace permissions continue to constrain access.
