Amazon Ads Brings Advertisers to ChatGPT, Extending Its Supply-Chasing Streak
The pilot gives select U.S. advertisers access to text and image ads beneath ChatGPT responses as Amazon expands into premium AI inventory.
On Thursday, Amazon announced a partnership with OpenAI allowing advertisers to run campaigns directly inside the ChatGPT app, starting with select U.S. brands in a pilot program.
OpenAI has rapidly scaled its advertising business since testing began in February, recently reaching an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $1 billion, making the Amazon partnership strategically timely.
Ads appear as text or image units beneath ChatGPT responses, managed through Amazon's Demand-Side Platform . OpenAI controls all ad delivery decisions while inventory is available on both cost-per-click and cost-per-mille bases.
Delta Vacations is among select U.S. brands piloting the integration. Chris Conetta, director of omnichannel supply at Amazon's demand-side advertising platform, called conversational formats the "fastest growing engagement opportunity" for reaching customers.
Amazon Ads neared $70 billion in revenue last year while undercutting rivals on fees through its demand-side platform. The partnership extends Amazon's reach into ChatGPT's 900 million weekly active users, leveraging first-party shopping data for precision targeting.
