OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Ads has reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in under 200 days since its launch. The platform is now used by tens of thousands of advertisers and is expanding its global reach. Starting today, advertisers can access ChatGPT Ads directly through Ads Manager in India, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. This marks a significant milestone in OpenAI's strategy to broaden access to AI through advertising.
ChatGPT Ads enables marketers to provide relevant information during the decision-making process of users. The system uses the context of current conversations to show ads aligned with what users are exploring. Depending on the country and user settings, it may also draw from broader ChatGPT interactions to reflect both immediate interests and long-term preferences. This approach ensures ads are contextually relevant and enhance the user experience without influencing ChatGPT's responses.
The expansion of ChatGPT Ads reflects OpenAI's commitment to its advertising principles, including clear labeling of ads and protecting user privacy. Advertisers do not gain access to private conversations, and users can manage their ad personalization settings. OpenAI has maintained strong metrics across trust, relevance, and overall experience, giving confidence in the platform's global growth.
