OpenAI launches product feed ads in ChatGPT: What the launch means for the market
The e-commerce advertising landscape is shifting once again — and precisely where the intent to buy is particularly strong. With product feed ads in the Ads Manager beta, OpenAI is bringing shopping logic into a conversational environment, thereby increasingly developing ChatGPT into a standalone commerce channel. It is not yet a fully rolled-out mass-market product. However, the move clearly signals the strategic direction: away from being purely an assistant, towards an interface where product search, advice and paid placements converge.

Agentic Commerce needs more than just good UX
Many companies are investing in better user experiences. But in B2B, the future of commerce is not determined by the front end alone. For whilst UX aims to guide human users as efficiently as possible, a second level is currently undergoing change: systems are beginning to prepare decisions, evaluate options and, in the future, initiate transactions themselves. It is precisely at this point that a good user interface is no longer enough. As commerce is increasingly co-controlled by systems, the focus shifts. It is no longer just usability that matters, but also whether products, processes and offers are structured in such a way that they can be understood, evaluated and utilised by machines.* Agentic Commerce does not begin with the interface. It begins where systems understand offers.
