OpenAI Launches Shareable Profiles in ChatGPT: Public Creator Handles, Bundled Sites, and One-Click Tool Forking
OpenAI rolled out Shareable Profiles in ChatGPT on October 1, 2026. Users now have dedicated public profile URLs (chatgpt.com/@username) that bundle custom ChatGPT Sites, specialized GPTs, API plugins, and reusable prompts into an open portfolio that colleagues and the community can discover, star, and fork.
The Launch: Unifying Creators and Reusable Workflows
On October 1, 2026, OpenAI introduced Shareable Profiles across ChatGPT Free, Plus, Team, and Enterprise tiers. Accessible via vanity handles at chatgpt.com/@username, the feature provides a central portfolio for builders who create customized AI tools, interactive sites, and workflow automations.
Previously, discovering an author custom GPT, code interpreter script, or UI prompt required sharing fragmented links across third-party social media feeds. Shareable Profiles aggregates an author full catalog into a clean, unified showcase.

What Bundled Profiles Support
1. ChatGPT Sites
Introduced earlier this year, ChatGPT Sites are web applications generated directly by ChatGPT Canvas that execute within sandboxed browser runtimes. On a Shareable Profile, visitors can interact with these live tools—such as financial ROI simulators, interactive regex testers, or SVG diagram generators—without writing code.
2. Specialized GPTs and System Instructions
Authors can pin their most effective assistants. Visitors can inspect the author operational description, see total fork counts, and read peer review ratings before importing the assistant into their own sidebar.
3. One-Click Forking
Every public tool includes an explicit Fork button. Clicking Fork instantiates an editable clone of the tool configuration into the user personal ChatGPT account. Builders can choose whether to expose raw system prompt text or protect sensitive intellectual property while permitting execution.
4. Verified Developer Badges
Accounts with verified GitHub, domain DNS TXT records, or enterprise email identities receive blue verified badges, protecting users against impersonation and malicious prompt clones.
Enterprise Workspaces: Internal Shared Directories
For corporate teams using ChatGPT Team and Enterprise, Shareable Profiles function as internal talent and tool registries:
| Feature | Consumer Profiles | Enterprise Team Directories |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility Scope | Public or Unlisted | Restricted to Corporate Okta / Azure AD Domain |
| Data Governance | User-managed | Enforced by Workspace Admins (SOC 2 Type II) |
| API Secret Handling | User-supplied personal keys | Managed via Organization Secret Vaults |
| Analytics | Public view and fork counts | Internal department utilization telemetry |
