π Today's Top AI Marketing Story
The Great AI Commerce Revolution: ChatGPT & Perplexity Transform Into Shopping Platforms
This is huge, folks. OpenAI just partnered with PayPal to enable direct purchasing within ChatGPT conversations. No more copying product links, opening new tabs, or losing your research flow - you can literally go from "I need a winter coat" to checkout without ever leaving the chat interface.
Meanwhile, Perplexity launched its own AI shopping assistant that's taking personalization to a whole new level. It doesn't just recommend products - it understands your lifestyle, remembers your preferences, and delivers hyper-targeted suggestions based on your conversation history.
Why This Matters: We're watching the birth of conversational commerce. Your customers are about to shift from searching on websites to having AI assistants do all the heavy lifting. For marketers, this means:
