OpenAI Adds Visual Shopping And ACP Support
OpenAI announced on March 24 it is rolling out new shopping features across ChatGPT free, Go, Plus, and Pro users this week, including visual product browsing, image-based search, side-by-side comparisons, and conversational refinement. The updates use the Agentic Commerce Protocol—co-developed with Stripe and open-sourced—to integrate merchant product feeds, support existing checkout systems, and enable partners like Walmart to offer in-ChatGPT checkout experiences.
Key Points
- 1Introduces visual shopping, image-based search, side-by-side comparisons, and conversational product refinement in ChatGPT
- 2Implements Agentic Commerce Protocol to aggregate merchant feeds and integrate with Salesforce and Stripe
- 3Enables merchants to test native ChatGPT experiences while retaining their own checkout and fulfillment flows
Scoring Rationale
Official OpenAI product launch with broad merchant integrations; moderate novelty and limited technical innovation compared with academic research.
