# ChatGPT

**Entity type:** product · **Canonical name:** ChatGPT · **Canonical URL:** https://openai.com/chatgpt

ChatGPT is a large-language-model-based conversational AI product developed by **OpenAI**. In the source it is cited as one of the **general-purpose AI ecosystems** where consumers might shop across multiple retailers, limiting direct brand control.

As a third-party interface between brands and customers, it is a primary reason brands need [[concept-agentic-observability]] — misrepresentations surfaced here are perceived as brand failures (see [[claim-brand-failure-not-system-error]]). OpenAI is also co-developer, with Stripe, of the [[entity-agentic-commerce-protocol]].
