Online Shopping Now Accessible Through ChatGPT Platform
ChatGPT Goes Shopping:
Jump on in and shop til you drop, all without leaving your chat window! That's right, ChatGPT has hopped aboard the e-commerce train, though you'll still need to head to a third-party site for the actual checkout.
This fresh feature blurs the lines between AI interfaces and search engines like never before. So, say goodbye to endless scrolling and digital sweat when searching for the perfect pair of heels or that must-have gadget. With ChatGPT, you can now simply chat it up and let the AI do the legwork.
Here's the down low: you make a request, and ChatGPT presents a selection of products complete with a quick description, a lowdown on customer reviews, and links to merchants' sites for the sweet, sweet transaction. The service is available stateside as of Monday and is set to roll out globally soon, even to users who don't have a ChatGPT account.
But, wait, there's more! Initially, the offerings are focused on the fashion, beauty, home, and electronics scenes, but OpenAI plans to expand the selection based on feedback.
In the AI world, competition is never-ending, and it seems that Google has been taken aback by OpenAI's latest move. To counter the new kid on the block, Google's rolled out its own AI assistant, Gemini, into its search engine. This go-getter presents an AI-generated response at the top of the search results page before listing relevant links to websites.
According to TechCrunch, OpenAI won't be siphoning off a chunk of the online shopping revenue generated through ChatGPT. The folks at OpenAI recently shared that search has become one of their most popular features, racking up over a billion searches in the past week. What's more, OpenAI claims the results produced aren't ads, distinguishing themselves from Google, which allows companies to pay for a better position in search results.
ChatGPT is also set to get even smarter. Soon, it'll have a little extra memory to remember your taste and needs, giving you an even more personalized shopping experience. So whether you're a fashion maven, a home improvement guru, or a tech whiz, ChatGPT's got you covered!
