To make this happen, OpenAI is teaming up with platforms like Shopify and has already shown early versions to some brands.
While details are still under wraps, this move comes as OpenAI looks for new ways to boost revenue—especially after reporting a $5 billion loss last year, even as its annual revenue run rate hit $10 billion.
