OpenAI just added Shopify alongside Bing as an official third-party search provider in its ChatGPT Search documentation. The integration lets ChatGPT pull rich product listings with images, pricing, and star ratings directly from merchants. It is a quiet move that gives Shopify sellers a direct pipeline into AI search results.
OpenAI just opened up ChatGPT Search to the public without requiring an account or login. Anyone visiting the site can now type a query to get real-time news, sports scores, and stock quotes directly from the web, though switching to the reasoning mode still requires signing in.
OpenAI just opened ChatGPT Search to all free users and rolled real-time web browsing into Advanced Voice Mode.
