Just when you thought online shopping couldn’t get easier, OpenAI throws in a ‘buy now’ button directly into ChatGPT. Yes, you heard that right! Now, instead of just chatting about your latest existential crisis, you can also snag that last-minute birthday gift for Aunt Gertrude from Etsy—all without leaving the cozy confines of your AI friend.
It’s like your friendly neighborhood AI has suddenly turned into a digital shopping assistant, powered by something they’re calling the ‘Agentic commerce protocol.’ Sounds fancy, right? Users can now enjoy instant checkouts for free, while merchants foot the bill to keep the cash registers jingling.
And fear not, tech enthusiasts; OpenAI says they’re open sourcing the model connecting AI agents to businesses. So, if we get a future full of virtual shopping buddies who think they know your taste better than you do, just remember this day.
In a world where impulse buys can happen at the speed of light—thanks to AI—one has to wonder: How soon before your fridge starts ordering snacks for you?
