01

What is Businesses in ChatGPT?

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
  • Write clear answers to common customer questions
  • Use consistent business details everywhere online
  • Collect genuine reviews
10

What to watch

  • Expansion to more countries and business types
  • Tools for larger companies
  • Payments inside ChatGPT

The golden rule

Do not wait for customers to tell you ChatGPT got your business wrong. Claim your profile, fix your details, and keep your website accurate so AI answers describe you correctly.

  • Business Hub
  • Verified profile
  • Analytics
  • Business Agents
  • Ads
  • Privacy
  • Beta

Ask ChatGPT about your business today, note anything wrong, then claim your profile and correct it.

Earnings note: nothing here promises income. Any figures or examples are illustrations, not typical results; what you earn depends on your skills, effort, market and luck, and many people earn little or nothing. This is general information, not financial, legal or tax advice. See our disclaimer.
