OpenAI Supercharges ChatGPT with Shopping Features to Rival Google

OpenAI’s diving headfirst into the e-commerce pool, and let’s just say, they’re making quite the splash. By supercharging ChatGPT’s search with shopping smarts, they’re flipping the script on how we find and buy stuff online. Imagine having a shopping buddy who actually gets you—thanks to AI, that’s now a thing. 🚀

Here’s the scoop: whether you’re a ChatGPT Pro, Plus, or Free user, or just browsing without logging in, GPT-4o’s got your back. Hunting for a new gadget or the perfect pair of jeans? ChatGPT’ll not only throw recommendations your way but also show off pics, spill the tea with reviews, and even hand you the keys to the checkout page. And it’s not picky—fashion, beauty, home decor, tech, you name it.

The real magic? ChatGPT listens. Like, really listens. Ask it anything in your own words, and it cuts through the noise to serve up exactly what you’re after. No ads, no funny business—just straight-up, metadata-powered results (think prices, reviews) that you can trust. đź’°

With ChatGPT handling over a billion searches last week alone, OpenAI’s not just dipping toes in the search market—they’re doing cannonballs. And for Pro and Plus folks, there’s more coolness on the horizon: a memory feature to remember your past chats for spot-on recommendations. (Though, heads up, EU and U.K. friends, you’ll have to sit this one out for now.)

Oh, and guess what? ChatGPT search just hit WhatsApp. Yep, you can now bug it for answers mid-convo. Between this and the shopping perks, OpenAI’s giving Google a run for its money in the online shopping gold rush. The future of search? It’s knocking, and it’s got AI written all over it.
