OpenAI Launches Beta 'Businesses' Feature with AI Agents for US E-commerce Firms
OpenAI has introduced a beta feature called "Businesses" within ChatGPT, allowing companies to claim and manage their profiles, update information, and monitor user engagement. The "Business Hub" enables verified businesses to add product feeds with pricing and availability, while "Business Agents" allow users to chat directly with company representatives about products or services. Initially available to eligible US e-commerce and online service firms, OpenAI ensures user conversations remain private, providing only aggregated insights. Businesses can also sponsor their agents for labeled ChatGPT Ads.
