  • OpenAI introduced Shopping Research for ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus and Pro users on mobile and web, offering nearly unlimited usage for eligible users.
  • By design, Shopping Research saves ChatGPT users time by browsing websites and online retailers to build guides from their descriptions, OpenAI says it aids deeper comparisons beyond price or features.
  • Powered by GPT-5 mini, the feature runs Shopping Research that OpenAI says was trained with reinforcement learning and returns a personalised buyer's guide after a minute to a few minutes.
  • OpenAI says the interface offers feedback options 'Not interested' and 'More like this', and plans to add Shopping Research to ChatGPT Pulse for Pro members, soon enabling direct buying via Instant Checkout.
  • Results are shown as organic and sourced from publicly available retail sites, and OpenAI says the memory feature personalizes research by referring to past conversations and saved memory.
