ChatGPT Update Simplifies Online Shopping and Delivers Fresher Search Results
ChatGPT gets a major upgrade! Learn about OpenAI's new integrated shopping features and improved real-time web search capabilities announced this week.
Users of OpenAI’s ChatGPT can now look forward to a more integrated online shopping experience and access to more current information, thanks to a major update announced by the company on Monday. The AI assistant is being enhanced with new shopping comparison tools and upgraded web search capabilities.
The update introduces features allowing users to ask ChatGPT to compare prices for specific products across different sellers, summarize user reviews, and offer tailored buying recommendations. This aims to eliminate the need to switch between multiple tabs or apps when researching purchases online.
In addition to the shopping tools, the update brings improvements to how ChatGPT accesses and utilizes web search. This means users can expect more timely and accurate answers, particularly for questions related to current affairs or fast-developing subjects.
OpenAI’s enhancement of ChatGPT reflects the ongoing push to make AI assistants more practical for daily consumer activities. By integrating these features, the company strengthens ChatGPT’s utility and competitive standing in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
The new features were officially revealed on April 28, 2025, with rollout to the user base anticipated shortly.
