SpritesAdd Sprites to ChatGPT
Available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu, on the web app. Not available on Free. You need a Sprites account with AI visibility (AEO) already connected — the connector acts on that connection, so ChatGPT never handles a AEO credential.
Turn on developer mode
Open Settings, go to Security and login, and switch Developer mode on. ChatGPT shows a warning that custom connectors run third-party code on your behalf — read it and accept. On Business and Enterprise workspaces an admin has to allow developer mode first.
Developer modeSettings → Security and loginCreate the Sprites app
Go to Settings → Plugins — this section was called Connectors until July 2026, which is why older guides send you to an Advanced tab that no longer exists. Press the + button to create a developer-mode app.

Give it a name and description, paste the Sprites endpoint, and set Authentication to OAuth. Tick the box confirming you trust the application, then click Create.

Connect the new app. ChatGPT sends you to the Sprites consent screen; sign in with the account holding your ad platforms and approve. The app then appears under Drafts in app settings and in the composer under the Developer mode tool.

Run the first prompt
Ask ChatGPT this. It routes to a Sprites door, which reads your AI visibility (AEO) account and answers — no account to name, no confirmation to give first.
- With Sprites, who gets cited when someone asks ChatGPT for the best AI ads platform?
- Ask Sprites to check our AI visibility against our three named competitors.
- Use Sprites to write a comparison page for "us vs [competitor]" and draft it on the site.
- Have Sprites generate an llms.txt from what we actually publish.
- With Sprites, set up a weekly check on our top 20 buying prompts.
Open the composer's Developer mode tool and confirm Sprites is listed with its tools enabled, then ask it what it can do.
What ChatGPT can do with AI visibility (AEO)
The same doors, whichever client you are in. Developer mode gives ChatGPT full read-and-write MCP tools rather than the search-and-fetch pair the built-in connectors are limited to, and the Apps SDK renders the Sprites card in the thread.
Find out whether you exist
The prompts your buyers type, run against the answer engines, with who gets named and who does not.
See who is taking the citation
The competitor being cited, and the page the engine is reading to do it.
Write the page that wins it back
Answer pages, FAQ pages and comparison pages, structured the way answer engines actually lift from.
Ship an llms.txt that is not a stub
A real index of what you publish, generated from the site rather than hand-listed and forgotten.
Track it over time
Visibility per prompt per engine, so a change is attributable to the page that caused it.
Get told when it slips
A scheduled check that messages you when a citation you had is gone.
How approvals work here
ChatGPT draws the Sprites approval card in the thread. A AEO change arrives with its before and after filled in, editable in place, and applies when you click approve.
What it reads
- Answer-engine responses for the prompts you care about
- Which brands and pages get cited, and how often
- Your own site structure and existing answer coverage
- Competitor pages the engines are reading
What it can change
- Answer pages, FAQ pages, comparison and "vs" pages
- llms.txt and entity pages
- All drafted onto your site and published only on approval
When it does not work in ChatGPT
Three things go wrong in this client specifically, and each has a one-line fix.
There is no Advanced tab under Connectors.
Connectors was renamed Plugins, and developer mode moved to Settings → Security and login. Follow the path above rather than a guide written before July 2026.
Sprites answers but the approval card never appears.
Developer mode is off, or the app was created before you turned it on. The card is an Apps SDK surface and only renders for a developer-mode app.
The tools stop appearing after a Sprites release.
ChatGPT caches the tool list. Use Refresh on the app in settings to pull the current tools and server instructions.
AI visibility (AEO) and ChatGPT: questions
Which URL do I paste into ChatGPT?
https://mcp.sprites.ai/mcp. There is one endpoint and every client uses it — every OAuth grant is bound to exactly that address, so a variant of it will not be honoured.
Can ChatGPT change my AI visibility (AEO) account without asking?
ChatGPT draws the Sprites approval card in the thread. A AEO change arrives with its before and after filled in, editable in place, and applies when you click approve.
Do I need a AI visibility (AEO) API key or developer token?
No. AI visibility (AEO) is connected once inside Sprites through Your site, plus AI answer-engine tracking, and the connector acts on that connection. ChatGPT never sees a credential for it.
Why ChatGPT for AI visibility (AEO) specifically?
Developer mode gives ChatGPT full read-and-write MCP tools rather than the search-and-fetch pair the built-in connectors are limited to, and the Apps SDK renders the Sprites card in the thread.
What is AEO?
Answer engine optimization: getting cited in the answers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews give, rather than ranking in a list of ten blue links. The unit of success is a citation, not a position.
How does it know whether we are cited?
It runs your prompts against the engines and reads the answers, recording which brands and sources are named. It is a measurement, not an estimate.

The same ChatGPT connector reaches every other channel — nothing else to add.
