Platform brief

Advertising inside ChatGPT, explained.

Ads are now part of ChatGPT: sponsored placements shown while people explore options, compare choices and make decisions. Here is what matters for advertisers — and how AdsAILab prepares European brands for it.

Why it matters

Reach people in the moments that matter.

People come to ChatGPT not just to find information, but to explore options, compare choices and make decisions. That creates a new place to show up — with real intent attached.

01

Show up while people explore and decide

People use ChatGPT to compare alternatives, weigh tradeoffs and make decisions — ads appear inside that decision moment, not after it.

02

Beyond keywords: richer context signals

Conversations carry far more context than a search query, so relevance is built from intent and situation rather than exact-match keywords.

03

An AI-native ad environment

Campaigns run in a surface built around conversation, context and real-time decisions — a new inventory type, not a repackaged search feed.

How it works

Three steps inside Ads Manager.

01

Create your campaign

Set up the account, campaign structure, budget and goal inside Ads Manager.

02

Add your ad details

Build ads directly in the tool or bulk-upload them via CSV, then preview how the sponsored placement renders.

03

Launch and learn

Measure impressions, clicks and conversions, edit live campaigns and optimise against performance.

Early advertisers — including large retail brands — report encouraging results from being present in these research and comparison moments. Access, formats and availability continue to evolve market by market.

Built with user trust in mind

Useful for advertisers. Safe for users.

Clearly labeled

Ads are clearly identified as sponsored inside the experience.

Separate from answers

Ads stay distinct from ChatGPT's own responses.

Choice and control

People control how their data is used for advertising.
