OpenAI Ads versus ChatGPT ads

OpenAI is the company and advertising platform. ChatGPT is the product where people see the ads. OpenAI's advertiser site uses the OpenAI Ads identity, while its help documentation describes the consumer experience as ads in ChatGPT. This site uses ChatGPT ads when discussing the placement and OpenAI Ads when discussing the advertising product.

Explore the independent OpenAI Ads library

We probe ChatGPT with realistic commercial prompts and record the sponsored placements returned. Each library record connects a real creative to its advertiser, niche, and triggering prompt. The counts describe our captured sample, not OpenAI's total campaign inventory or private reporting.

A separate, clearly labeled placement

OpenAI says an eligible conversation may show an ad unit below a response when there is a relevant match. Ads remain separate from the generated answer. Advertisers receive aggregated performance reporting, not a user's ChatGPT conversations, memories, or personal details.
