OpenAI launches Business Agents in beta, letting eligible ecommerce and online service businesses in the U.S. publish an agent that answers customer questions, compares products, and finds items using the business's own information.

OpenAI says these conversations are clearly labeled and kept separate from ChatGPT's independent answers, and that it does not share people's conversations or Business Agent chats with businesses.

The agents are part of Businesses in ChatGPT, a beta in which eligible businesses wherever ChatGPT is available can claim a listing in Business Hub. Verified businesses can update their details, add product feeds with current pricing and availability, and view aggregated insights on mentions, website clicks, and common conversation topics. TechCrunch reports that the insights are limited to profile views, business mentions, and website clicks, and that OpenAI did not share what its verification process involves.

A ChatGPT Business update reported by Testing Catalog says users can now claim their businesses and build a Business Agent to answer customers' inbound requests, also limited to eligible U.S. businesses.
