ChatGPT Introduces AI Shopping Assistant for Faster Product Discovery
ChatGPT has introduced a new AI shopping assistant designed to enhance product discovery. This feature aims to streamline the shopping experience for users by allowing them to easily find products based on their unique needs.
Introducing the AI Shopping Assistant
The new shopping research tool comes as an extension of ChatGPT’s capabilities. Users can now find tailored product recommendations without navigating multiple websites.
How It Works
To utilize the shopping research feature, users simply describe the product they are seeking. For example:
- “Find the quietest cordless stick vacuum for a small apartment.”
- “Help me choose between these three bikes.”
- “I need a gift for my four year old niece who loves art.”
The AI assistant employs intelligent questioning and extensive online research. It draws on trusted sources to generate a personalized buying guide. ChatGPT considers insights from previous conversations, ensuring tailored recommendations.
Getting Started
Users can initiate shopping research in ChatGPT by posing a shopping-related inquiry. Alternatively, they can select the shopping research option via the plus (+) button.
Moreover, users can refine their results by adjusting the emphasis on specific recommendations. This feature ensures a more customized shopping experience.
Availability and Specifications
The shopping research feature is accessible starting today on the iPhone and iPad apps, as well as through the web version for Free, Go, Plus, and Pro account holders. However, there is currently no support for a Mac application.
OpenAI has indicated that this new tool will support “nearly unlimited usage” throughout the holiday season. The assistant operates on a GPT-5 mini model, specifically trained for shopping queries.
For those looking for assistance in product discovery, ChatGPT’s new shopping research tool represents a significant advancement in AI-driven purchasing solutions.
