ChatGPT wants to be your personal online shopper.
A new "Instant Checkout" feature lets users buy products noted by the AI-powered bot in a chat without having to navigate outside the app, ChatGPT creator OpenAI announced Monday.
For example, if you query ChatGPT for the "best mattress under $1,000" or "gift for an avid reader," the tool will suggest relevant products. If consumers wants to purchase one of ChatGPT's recommendations, they can now do so within the chat.
Currently, ChatGPT users can buy directly from U.S. Etsy sellers from within a chat. Through a partnership with Shopify, ChatGPT will soon give consumers access to more than 1 million vendors, such as cosmetic company Glossier, shapewear company SKIMS, shoemaker Steve Madden and more, according to OpenAI.
