ChatGPT Ads in India: 50 Brands, Private Chats

ChatGPT is now showing ads from 50 brands in India. These ads are rolling out to adult users with Free and Go plans. Businesses can access a self-serve Ads Manager starting September 4th, with daily budgets as low as 725 rupees. WPP and Omnicom are the first agency partners, helping with campaign strategy and creative work. The ads will appear below ChatGPT responses and will be clearly labeled as sponsored. OpenAI states that these advertisements will not affect the answers generated by ChatGPT. The company also emphasizes that user conversations, chat history, and personal details remain private from advertisers. Users will have controls to manage their ad experience, including dismissing ads and managing personalization. This means users in India will start seeing sponsored content within their ChatGPT interactions.
