The signal

OpenAI has expanded its ChatGPT advertising platform into 26 new countries, following adoption by more than 100,000 advertisers. The platform enables businesses ranging from small local enterprises to major global brands to reach prospective buyers directly within conversational interactions. Rather than relying solely on traditional search engines or social media feeds, commercial messages appear while users actively explore options, compare products, and evaluate purchasing decisions inside ChatGPT. This international rollout demonstrates how conversational artificial intelligence is evolving into an active channel for commercial discovery and buyer decision-making across global markets.
