Etsy has launched a native app within ChatGPT that allows users to search for products using natural language queries, moving beyond traditional keyword searches. The integration enables users to browse and compare Etsy's 100+ million listings directly in the chat interface, with the ability to click through to purchase. This follows Etsy's previous, less successful experiment with ChatGPT's Instant Checkout feature, which was discontinued in March due to low sales volume.
Background
Etsy is an e-commerce platform focused on handmade, vintage, and unique goods, which has been actively exploring AI integrations to improve user experience. The company previously partnered with OpenAI for a checkout integration that was discontinued due to low sales volume.
