OpenAI Introduces Business Profiles and AI Agents for US E-Commerce on ChatGPT
OpenAI has launched 'Businesses' in beta within ChatGPT, allowing companies to claim and manage profiles, update information, and track user engagement. The Business Hub tool enables verified businesses to add product feeds with pricing and availability and view aggregated insights. Additionally, Business Agents let users chat directly with AI representatives from companies about products or services. Initially available to eligible US e-commerce and online service firms, businesses can sponsor agents for ChatGPT Ads, with user conversations kept private and insights aggregated only above interaction thresholds.
