ChatGPT Search Improves Its Shopping Experience
- OpenAI announced on May 12, 2025, that ChatGPT search now includes enhanced shopping features enabling personalized product recommendations and direct merchant links.
- This update follows user demand for more conversational shopping experiences, with ChatGPT learning preferences to offer organic, non-advertisement product results.
- The feature lets users browse items in categories like fashion, beauty, home goods, and electronics, but checkout redirects to merchant websites instead of inside ChatGPT.
- Adam Fry, OpenAI's ChatGPT search lead, noted users perform over a billion searches weekly, while the update presents images, reviews, pricing, and trending topics to aid decisions.
- The new capability aims to compete with Google by blending AI chat with search, though OpenAI currently excludes ads and memory features in some regions, suggesting a cautious rollout.
