OpenAI has introduced a new image library inside ChatGPT, which gives users quick access to their AI-generated creations in a slick sidebar.

The feature, now rolling out across both web and mobile platforms, is available to all users, paid or not. OpenAI even dropped a short demo on X showing just how seamless it is. If you’ve made images in ChatGPT before, the library should already be visible on the left panel. If not, fire up a prompt, and the feature should appear after reloading the page.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

While modest on the surface, the feature could hint at something bigger. OpenAI may be laying the groundwork for a social platform focused on image creation, according to Mashable’s Cecily Mauran. The goal is apparently greater visibility for its viral image tools and a new stream of real-time user data.

For now, it’s just a library. But in the context of OpenAI’s broader ambitions, it might be the opening move in a much bigger play.
