OpenAI releases the ChatGPT Shopping Research tool, offering nearly unlimited usage for the holiday season. Learn how this personalized AI assistant will revolutionize how you compare products and find the perfect gift.

ChatGPT Shopping Research Tool Personalized Buyer’s Guide
In a strategically timed move just ahead of the high-stakes holiday shopping season, OpenAI has officially rolled out its dedicated ChatGPT Shopping Research tool. This new feature transforms the familiar chatbot from a general knowledge assistant into a specialized, personalized buyer’s guide, signaling the company’s most aggressive step yet into the lucrative e-commerce ecosystem. The launch positions OpenAI in direct competitive territory with established giants like Google Shopping and Amazon’s recommendation algorithms.
The core function of the ChatGPT Shopping Research tool is to drastically simplify the often-tedious process of product discovery and comparison. Instead of relying on a user to manually sift through dozens of websites and reviews, the user can now input a complex, natural language query—such as “Find the quietest cordless stick vacuum for a small apartment” or “I need a durable gift for a four-year-old niece who loves art.”
