OpenAI Adds Visual Ads and Ad Tools to ChatGPT
ChatGPT is getting a new way to show ads. According to OpenAI, the company is introducing a visual ad format inside ChatGPT, letting advertisers display image-based ads rather than just text. Alongside this, OpenAI is expanding its measurement tools, which help advertisers track how well their ads perform, and its attribution partnerships, which link ad views to actual customer actions like purchases. The update also includes stronger brand suitability controls, letting companies make sure their ads appear next to content that fits their image. Together, these changes show OpenAI building a fuller advertising system around how people actually use ChatGPT, moving the chatbot closer to becoming a mainstream platform for digital advertising.
