OpenAI launched Businesses in ChatGPT in beta on 10 November 2026, introducing Business Hub so companies can claim verified brand profiles across ChatGPT’s 1.2 billion weekly active users. Participating organisations, including Shopify merchants connecting directly from Shopify Admin through the Shopify Catalog, can publish self-service product feeds with real-time pricing and stock status and inspect privacy-thresholded analytics on brand mentions, outbound clicks, and discovery topics without accessing individual user chat transcripts.
Labelled Business Agents and third-party Business login
Eligible US e-commerce and online service brands can also build and sponsor clearly labelled Business Agents that open in a separate thread from ChatGPT’s organic answers and serve as destinations for ChatGPT Ads. Separately on 10 November 2026, OpenAI enabled Sign in with ChatGPT for ChatGPT Business subscribers across third-party developer and workspace tools including Notion, v0, Amp, Kilo Code, Warp, Nous Research’s Hermes, OpenClaw, and OpenCode.

Release details & context
Global profile claiming, transcript isolation and workplace SSO
In OpenAI’s Businesses in ChatGPT announcement, OpenAI states that Business Hub profile claiming is open across every ChatGPT-supported market (with existing OpenAI Enterprise and advertising clients also onboarding via their account representatives, and Shopify merchants syncing live pricing and inventory straight from Shopify Admin), while sponsored and organic Business Agents remain limited on 10 November 2026 to eligible US e-commerce and online service categories.
OpenAI enforces strict transcript isolation: merchants receive thresholded aggregate counts of brand mentions, outbound clicks and discovery topics, but never see organic user chats or individual Business Agent transcripts. Launched alongside ChatGPT Business third-party login on X, the update sits between ChatGPT Remix and Enterprise workspace updates and the consumer Finances rollout in ChatGPT desktop.
Common questions
Can verified brands in Business Hub read individual users’ ChatGPT conversations?
No, OpenAI shares neither organic ChatGPT transcripts nor individual Business Agent chat logs with businesses, exposing only aggregated mention, click and topic metrics once privacy thresholds are met.
Where are Business Agents available at the 10 November 2026 beta launch?
While organisations across all ChatGPT-supported markets can claim Business Hub profiles, interactive Business Agents are initially limited to eligible US e-commerce and online service categories.
