Available to users of the paid versions (GPT-4 and GPT-4o), this functionality allows users to search, compare and view products directly within chat. Includes images, prices, reviews and purchase links.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What makes this development unique:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalised recommendations based on usage intent and context<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-time product information, including stock status and prices<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No ads or sponsored content, so completely objective suggestions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Direct links to online shops, making conversion easier<\/span>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Why is this important for B2B e-commerce?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the first applications are mainly visible in the B2C sector, it is only a matter of time before B2B buyers also expect these kinds of intelligent search solutions. Especially for complex or repeat purchases, an intuitive, AI-driven product search experience plays a major role in customer satisfaction and conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomwise.com\/en\/b2b-e-commerce\/\">B2B e-commerce<\/a> companies means this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Visibility depends on data quality<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with Google Shopping or marketplaces, the basis is: good, structured product data. ChatGPT uses external web sources to extract product information. If your product data is not clear or up-to-date, you simply won't appear in the results.<\/span>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Customer focus needs to be smarter<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buyers want to find the right product quickly. By integrating AI-driven search solutions into your webshop yourself. For instance, with smart filters, natural language search functions or personalised recommendations, you meet the expectations of the modern business customer.<\/span>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Conversions start outside your webshop<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The buying process starts more often in an AI tool like ChatGPT than on your homepage. This calls for a broader omnichannel strategy where your product data is available through multiple sources and search platforms.<\/span>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>What can you do as a B2B company?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you like as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomwise.com\/en\/ecommerce-b2b-webshop\/\">B2B webshop<\/a> Stay visible in this new AI-driven shopping experience? Then these are your action points:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Invest in structured, up-to-date and rich product data<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think clear titles, specifications, prices, stock status and categories. Where possible, use structured data (e.g.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">schedule.org<\/a>).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Optimise your webshop for AI search<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add natural language search capabilities, enhance internal search results and offer dynamic filters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make sure you have a good content strategy<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI tools often use public information. By creating valuable content (such as manuals, product comparisons and applications), you increase your chances of appearing as an authority in AI search results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Work with different smart tooling<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider integrations with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecomwise.com\/en\/ecommerce-pim-systeem\/\">PIM systems<\/a> (Product Information Management) and other tooling to manage and distribute your data consistently.<\/span>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><b><br><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The launch of shopping within ChatGPT is not hype, but a clear step towards a future where AI plays a central role in the buying process, including for B2B. Those who invest in data quality and AI integrations now will soon reap the benefits of higher visibility, better customer experience and more conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><b>Ecomwise<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we help you make your digital infrastructure ready for this future.
