OpenAI's ChatGPT has teamed up with PayPal to enable users to purchase products directly within the chat interface.
According to CNBC, PayPal has signed a contract with OpenAI to integrate its digital wallet into ChatGPT, allowing users to easily pay for product recommendations made by the AI tool.
OpenAI is taking a big step towards turning ChatGPT into an e-commerce platform, hoping to utilize its approximately 700 million weekly active users as a kind of “personal shopper.”
Previously, OpenAI announced partnerships with Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy in the US via Instant Checkout, further solidifying its e-commerce ambitions.
