## Design analysis

This shows the desktop version of ChatGPT for the week of 2026-10-05, before scrolling. A sidebar takes up about a fifth of the screen width. The message box stands out most on the screen. It sits in the middle, under the question "Where should we begin?" The main text is light enough against the dark background to meet a common accessibility guideline. The outline of the message box is faint, but the hint text inside it is easy to read. Three suggested prompts below the box include creating an image, writing, and searching the web. No note that it can make mistakes is visible on this screen. The sidebar item Scheduled is now labeled Tasks. The question above the message box differs from the week of 2026-09-28.

## Menu items

- Sidebar: an icon button (magnifier icon), an icon button (split rectangle icon), New chat, Images, Library, Tasks, Plugins, Projects, Codex, More
- Top bar: Chat, Work, Upgrade, an icon button (circular arrows icon)
- Input area: Think
