OpenAI's ChatGPT has teamed up with PayPal to enable users to buy products directly within the chat platform.
According to CNBC, PayPal has signed a contract with OpenAI to integrate its digital wallet into ChatGPT, allowing users to easily pay for product recommendations made by the AI tool.
OpenAI is taking a big step towards turning ChatGPT into an e-commerce platform, hoping its 700 million weekly active users will use the AI as a "personal shopper."
This partnership follows OpenAI's previous announcement to enable payments via Walmart, Shopify, and Etsy in the US via Instant Checkout.
