OpenAI Launches Beta of Businesses in ChatGPT

According to ChainCatcher, OpenAI has launched the beta of Businesses in ChatGPT, allowing companies to claim and verify merchant profiles through Business Hub, update key details, and add product feeds with pricing and inventory information. OpenAI said ChatGPT has 1.2 billion weekly users. Shopify merchants can connect their stores through Business Hub or Shopify’s admin to simplify verification. Business Hub also provides aggregated data on how often merchants are mentioned in ChatGPT, website clicks, and common topics in conversations that cite their sites. Eligible U.S. e-commerce and online service businesses can create, test, and launch a Business Agent to answer questions and help users learn about their products or services. OpenAI said it will not share users’ conversations or Business Agent chats with businesses; aggregated data will be provided only after a specified interaction threshold is met.
