OpenAI Opens ChatGPT Ads to Self-Service Platform
The beta adds cost-per-click buying and removes a $50,000 minimum spend as OpenAI expands testing to SMBs, startups and global brands.
- On Monday, OpenAI's head of monetization Asad Awan announced a beta launch of the self-serve Ads Manager to U.S. advertisers, expanding access beyond pilot partners to SMBs and global agencies.
- Three months ago, OpenAI required a $50,000 minimum spend and cost-per-impression purchasing only, but the company has now removed these thresholds to enable cost-per-click bidding for all advertisers.
- Advertisers can manage campaigns directly or through partners including Adobe, Criteo, Kargo, Pacvue, and StackAdapt, while OpenAI controls delivery decisions and provides tracking pixels and a Conversions API.
- Awan emphasized that ads "do not influence the core organic model" of ChatGPT, and the company provides advertisers with aggregated performance metrics rather than underlying conversation data.
- This expansion supports OpenAI's goal of generating $2.5 billion in ad revenue this year, as projections show U.S. AI search ad spend will grow from 0.7% to 13.6% by 2029.
