🛒 Access ChatGPT’s Shopping Features

OpenAI quietly rolled out built-in shopping in ChatGPT.

No extra tools required for basic browsing. Just pick the GPT-4o model in your chat window along with the “Search” function.

🔍 Start Your Personal Shopping Chat

Type your request and be specific. For instance: “A cordless vacuum under $200 with at least 40 minutes of run-time.” ChatGPT reads plain language. Within seconds, you’ll receive a curated gallery with product images, specs, ratings, and direct links.

📊 Refine Your Suggestions

Each item appears with a snapshot: image, key features, approximate price, and user feedback. You might spot “Battery life: 45 min” or “Noise level: 60 dB.” If details don’t match your needs, ask follow-ups like, “Weigh option 1 against option 3,” or “Any promotions this week?” It listens closely. I once got alerted to a weekend markdown I’d have missed without it.

🔎 Create Side-by-Side Charts

Need clarity? Request a comparison table. It shows price, pros and cons, brand reputation, shipping estimates, and warranty notes. If you need timing advice, ask about historical prices or upcoming retail events. It’s like a data analyst in your chat.

🛍️ Finalize Your Purchase

Spot “the one”? Tap the link to your favorite retailer—Amazon, Target, or a niche shop. ChatGPT directs you to that page but never handles payment. That keeps your card details secure. Always review the seller’s page for extra fees or delivery options before you finalize.

⚙️ Customize Your Shopping Assistant

Want tailored recs for gifts, gear, or groceries? Build your own GPT with OpenAI’s toolkit. Add your preferred brands and style filters. Or pick a ready-made GPT that taps store inventories. I created one for weekly grocery hunts that checks current markdowns and applies coupons automatically.
