Short answer
A free guide to Businesses in ChatGPT as of November 11, 2026: what OpenAI launched in beta on November 10, the Business Hub, claiming and verifying your profile, correcting your details, analytics on mentions and clicks, Business Agents for US ecommerce and online services, sponsoring agents with ChatGPT Ads, rules agents must follow, privacy, what it costs, and how to prepare your business to be found in AI answers.
Businesses in ChatGPT is a new OpenAI program, launched in beta on November 10, 2026. It gives companies a way to manage how they appear in ChatGPT, which OpenAI says about 1.2 billion people use each week. It has two parts: the Business Hub and Business Agents.
People now ask ChatGPT where to buy. This is how a business shows up correctly.
02
The Business Hub
Claim a verified profile for your business, marked with a blue check
Correct and update your details, prices, and stock
See how ChatGPT describes and mentions you
Claiming is open wherever ChatGPT is available. At launch, only businesses with a website can claim.
03
How to claim your profile
Go to OpenAI’s Businesses in ChatGPT sign-up page
Find your business and start the claim
Verify that you own the business website
Check every detail ChatGPT shows and fix mistakes
04
Analytics you get
How often ChatGPT mentions your business
How many people click through to your website
Common topics people ask about
The data is aggregated. OpenAI says it does not share users’ conversations with businesses.
05
Business Agents
A Business Agent is an AI assistant for your company inside ChatGPT. When your business appears in an answer, people can open your profile and chat with your agent, which uses your product details. Agent chats are labelled and kept separate from ChatGPT’s own answers.
At launch, agents are limited to eligible ecommerce and online service businesses in the United States.
06
Rules for agents
Agents must say they are AI
Prices must be accurate
No pressure tactics
Purchases and sharing personal data need the user’s clear approval
For now, buyers are sent to your own website to pay. OpenAI says it is building agent payments with Visa.
07
Ads and sponsored agents
Businesses can sponsor their agent and use it as the destination for ChatGPT Ads. OpenAI says paying does not change how often ChatGPT recommends a business in its normal answers.
08
What it costs
Reports say the Business Hub and Business Agents are free during the beta. Ads are paid. Check OpenAI’s pages for current terms.
09
Get your business ready
Keep your website accurate: prices, hours, policies, and product details

Use consistent business details everywhere online
