OpenAI is testing a new ad format that replaces traditional landing pages with AI-powered business agents in ChatGPT, which can answer questions, recommend products, and capture leads directly in conversation. This shifts the digital advertising model from click-to-website to click-to-conversation, potentially transforming customer engagement and lead generation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software and AI Agents.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

ChatGPT ads change how you capture customers by making conversations your main sales channel. You can now compete by building smarter business agents that close leads before a website visit.
