Doing homework before shopping is a habit for many people, especially when it comes to high-priced electronics. But checking site after site and comparing prices inevitably takes a lot of effort and time. OpenAI has launched a new feature for ChatGPT called “Smart Shopping,” turning ChatGPT into a helpful assistant for finding products. Within minutes, it can understand your needs, clarify questions, and build a personalized shopping guide, with the goal of eliminating the pain of browsing countless websites before making a purchase.
ChatGPT adds a “Smart Shopping” feature to help you find the right products.
The smart shopping feature has been rolled out on mobile devices and the web version. First, you need to log in to your ChatGPT account—whether you’re a free, Go, Plus, or Pro user, you can use it. With the Christmas holiday, which is highly valued in Europe and America, approaching, to make gift shopping easier, ChatGPT users on any plan can use the smart shopping feature almost unlimitedly during the holiday period.
Hundreds of millions of people around the world use ChatGPT to find, understand, and compare products. People want an assistant that helps them make sense of their options and decide what fits their needs, budget, and preferences. Smart Shopping is designed for this kind of deeper decision-making. It turns product discovery into a conversation, where you can ask questions to explain what you need, ChatGPT pulls accurate and up-to-date details from high-quality sources, and brings options back to you to optimize results. It performs especially well in detail-rich categories like electronics, beauty, home and garden, kitchen and appliances, and sports and outdoor.
For simple shopping questions, such as checking prices or confirming features, a regular ChatGPT response is enough. But when you want to compare, narrow down, and weigh options in depth, Smart Shopping can give you more detailed and well-researched answers in just a few minutes. You can ask the AI to help you discover new products, find similar items, pick gifts, search for deals, and compare items side by side. Smart Shopping is also available in ChatGPT Pulse, currently offered to ChatGPT Pro users. When relevant, Pulse can proactively suggest personalized buying guides based on past conversations. For example, if you’ve been discussing electric bikes, future Pulse cards might recommend practical accessories that suit you.
Smart Shopping is designed to be transparent and helpful. Your chat history is not shared with retailers, and results are based on publicly available retail websites, allowing you to read product pages directly, cite sources, and avoid low-quality or spam-filled sites. Although the model powering Smart Shopping performs well in internal evaluations, it is not perfect. Smart Shopping may make mistakes on product details such as price and availability, so it is recommended that you check the merchant’s website before making a purchase to get the most accurate information.
