OpenAI updates ChatGPT to make it your shopping buddy

ChatGPT has been useful in many ways. You can use the AI assistant for writing emails, brainstorming, and even having conversations when boredom hits. But that’s not just everything you can do with ChaGPT. After a recent update to ChatGPT’s web search, the AI assistant can now act as your shopping buddy, too.

The company knows this, which is why it’s now taking things one notch up. Whether you have to shop from categories like fashion, beauty, home goods, and electronics, you can always look up to ChatGPT for it. 

The latest improvement to ChatGPT’s web search feature is a part of the GPT-4o update pushed by OpenAI very recently. No paywall here—it’s open to everyone, whether you’re a Pro, Plus, Free tier user, or just popping in without an account. The best part is that you won’t see any ads. OpenAI isn’t getting commissions from your purchases either.
