Summary
ChatGPT has launched a new shopping feature which allows users to search for products and be redirected to merchant websites to complete their purchases.
The update affects all users, who will receive recommendations based on their stated preferences, stored memories and reviews from around the internet.
Product categories include electronics, fashion, home goods and beauty products, and users can choose review sources for the recommendations.
The ChatGPT model aims to understand user preferences in a more conversational way, tailoring recommendations to personal tastes.
The new feature hopes to compete with Google Shopping, reflecting searches in a more transparent manner than algorithms.
There is no product placement sponsorship involved in the service.
