# How to build a website or app with a ChatGPT Dot: chatgpt.site hosting, games and 57 real projects (OpenAI Dots, Oct 2026)

Tell your ChatGPT Dot what to build and to host it on ChatGPT Sites: it writes and tests the site on its own cloud computer and publishes it at a chatgpt.site address (Sites is on Plus, Pro and supported Business and Enterprise workspaces, not Free or Go). 57 real projects: a recipe site in a few chats, a plane game in 20 minutes, overnight Godot demos, and where builds hit Docker, sign-in and data limits.

How do you build a website or app with a ChatGPT Dot? A short version first: what it does well, seven setup steps covering which computer it builds on, testing connections, ChatGPT Sites sharing and saving a version before you deploy, where builds get stuck and what worked, and one message to start with. Then quick answers, first-hand projects (sites, dashboards, games, overnight builds, redesigns by voice) and more asks you can copy.

### What is chatgpt.site?

`chatgpt.site` is the address used by ChatGPT Sites, which creates, hosts and shares websites, web apps and games without a separate deployment setup ([Sites guide](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/sites)). A Dot builds on its own cloud computer and can publish the result there, so you don't need hosting of your own. Sites is available on Plus and Pro and in supported Business and Enterprise workspaces, not on Free or Go, and a Site can be kept to you, shared inside your workspace, or published to anyone ([OpenAI Help](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001339)). To try it, tell your Dot what site you want and that it should be hosted on ChatGPT Sites; the projects below show what people got back.

### How do I ask a Dot to build a website?

Say what it's for and that it should be hosted on ChatGPT Sites, then correct it in follow-ups. @ai_dev_diary got a personal recipe site after a few chats, with ChatGPT sign-in on the admin side, and Mykhailo Patsan simply said "make me a website with a game" on a call. For a business site, DigitWaves AI put the plan, the requirements and the rules (no made-up reviews) in markdown files in a folder and steered his Dot round by round. Keep it visible only to you until you've checked it.

### How long does a build take?

Small things come back fast. Mustafa Ergisi was playing his plane game about 20 minutes after asking, @ai_dev_diary's proof-of-concept web app with a Python back end took under an hour, Alistair Barr's "Strange Endings" site was up in about five minutes, and Fadi AlZuabi's avatar was on an ESP32 screen 38 minutes 36 seconds after the ask, failed first flash included. Bigger jobs take days: Jeon Seung-gi's personal ERP got stuck partway, youer leaves Godot demos building for 10 hours or more overnight, and DaisukeDaisuke kept a coding job running around the clock with a 15-minute schedule.

### Who can see what my Dot builds?

A Site can be kept to you, shared in your workspace or published to anyone; in Enterprise workspaces public publishing stays off until an admin turns it on, which is why Alistair Barr's site stayed private. A sign-in button isn't access control, as Kyle of KodeLab points out: Sites passes the visitor's email address to the back end, which still has to decide who sees which notes. And if you sign in with a passkey, the Dot may not be able to test past it, as Simon Smith found.

### Does building with a Dot use my Codex usage?

Work the Dot did on its own cloud computer often didn't: @ai_dev_diary used no Codex tokens, sorilove's playtest loop didn't touch the Codex limit, and lll9p saw no allowance used as long as Codex wasn't involved. youer found that coding on a connected local computer is what used it up. Coding the Dot hands off does count: mocisly's cloud coding task stopped with "You've hit your usage limit". Building or editing a Site counts toward your Codex usage, while running and hosting it, including traffic and storage, is counted separately ([OpenAI Help](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001339)). See [Pricing and usage](/pricing/).

### Can it make games and 3D models?

Yes. Beto's Dot shared a retro Snake game as a link, Alex Xiang's built a Godot phone game with 36 automated checks and a first preview release, and Batraz Botsiti got Blender models and an animation from one prompt; Xenoah has a Dot build a VRChat world all day, with GitHub releases and screenshots along the way. Judge the fun yourself: よりむー's Dot shipped games that started, scored and restarted, but couldn't yet come up with the fun. More Blender work is on the [cloud computer](/use-cases/cloud-computer/) and [video & animation](/use-cases/video-and-animation/) pages.

### Where do builds get stuck?

The Dot's cloud browser couldn't open a page served on its own machine for AI Arte and DaisukeDaisuke, so ask what it really clicked through. Docker, sudo and Unix-socket limits stopped sebastian73's .NET stack and omaredy09's Compose project. Yuji Nakakoshi's cloud computer couldn't reach oracle.com, Himanshu V's trip app stalled at about 70% because the data comes from paid APIs, and Aframe93's Dot couldn't hear the Windows audio it was changing.

### Which plan do I need?

Sites is available on Plus and Pro and in supported Business and Enterprise workspaces. A Dot comes with Pro ($100, $200 or $500 tiers) outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland, with Business Premium in any supported region, and with Enterprise once an admin switches it on ([How to get ChatGPT Dots](/access/)); in Europe, read [Dots in the EU and UK](/dots-eu-uk-availability/) first. Everything else a Dot can do is on the [features page](/features/), and if it goes quiet mid-build, start at [Dots not showing or not working](/dots-not-showing/). For blog drafts and scheduled posts rather than sites, see [content pipeline](/workflows/content-pipeline/).
