ChatGPT tools broaden business automation and web‑deployment options

Custom GPTs let companies embed their own policies, tone and product data into a ChatGPT instance, giving employees instant, on‑brand answers. The approach can be prototyped in a few hours, but integrating live customer data turns the effort into a full software project. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s 2025 report, 58 % of small businesses now use generative AI, a sharp rise from two years earlier.

Netlify has released a free ChatGPT plugin that generates static‑site code and automatically deploys it to Netlify’s platform. The plugin works without a build pipeline, supports drag‑and‑drop updates, and deletes unclaimed sites after an hour. It is available to ChatGPT Plus users through the plugin store and is aimed at simplifying the workflow from code generation to live deployment.
