00:00ChatGPT now lets you impulse buy without leaving the chat.
00:04OpenAI just dropped a bombshell that's equal parts convenient and terrifying.
00:09Instant checkout for ChatGPT.
00:11Yes, you can now buy stuff directly through your AI conversations.
00:16ChatGPT's 700 million users can now go from, hey, what's a good coffee maker?
00:21To clicking buy now without ever leaving the chat.
00:24The feature, powered by partnerships with Stripe, Etsy and Shopify, handles everything
00:29from product discovery to payment processing through something called the agentic commerce
00:33protocol.
00:35The good news?
00:36OpenAI claims they're being responsible about it.
00:39Users must explicitly confirm each transaction step.
00:43Payments are encrypted through Stripe and data sharing with merchants is supposedly minimal.
00:48You can even cancel before final confirmation, which is more than we can say for most purchases
00:52made on Amazon.
00:54The reality check?
00:55With ChatGPT processing 2.5 billion prompts daily, this turns every conversation into a
01:00potential sales funnel.
01:02Sure, the current rollout is limited to select shops, but OpenAI is already eyeballing features
01:08that could promote products based on your chat history.
01:11And let's be real.
01:12Google's Gemini is probably scrambling to build something similar as we speak.
01:16Look, seamless shopping sounds great until you realize your AI assistant might start feeling
01:21more like a very sophisticated salesperson.
01:24The tech is undeniably slick, but we're basically watching the birth of conversational commerce
01:28on steroids.
