Build custom financial forecasting apps with ChatGPT Work

TL;DR: OpenAI showed how finance teams can use ChatGPT Work to turn close results into shareable, interactive websites—and use the Scenario Lab to test assumptions and prepare board presentations—moving from "reporting numbers" to "telling stories, testing scenarios, and shaping what comes next." ## The real work of finance teams: From closing the books to telling stories For finance teams, closing the books is just the beginning. The real work is telling a clear story to leadership and the board, and anticipating what comes next. In the demo, a finance professional is using ChatGPT Work to turn the latest close results into a website that includes scenarios they can test together. ## Create shareable interactive experiences with Sites The **Sites** feature in ChatGPT Work lets finance teams create shareable, interactive experiences to communicate complex ideas across the organization. The end result is a website that includes: - The latest close results - The drivers behind them - Scenarios that can be used to plan next steps ## Scenario Lab: Adjust assumptions, see how forecasts change In the **Scenario Lab**, users can adjust assumptions and see how they change the forecast. In addition, the **Drivers and Close Details** section shows what's driving the forecast and who is responsible for each follow-up item. ## A complete board presentation Alongside the interactive website, the finance professional also prepared a full board presentation that can be used at the next board meeting. ## Example scenario: The "1010 Scenario" What if the team wants to run other scenarios? The demo highlights a company initiative called the **"1010 Scenario"**: - Partner contributions increase by 10% - Expenses decrease by 10% Through this scenario, the team can see how this strategy changes the forecast—and whether it can get the company back on plan. ## Finance is more than reporting numbers With ChatGPT Work, finance teams can: - Communicate the story - Test scenarios - Shape what comes next This marks a shift in finance from after-the-fact reporting to proactive, forward-looking planning and decision support. ## Source Build custom financial forecasting apps with ChatGPT Work - OpenAI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94Td-y5z5rk)
