What happened
On Tuesday, OpenAI launched a Business Hub in beta that lets eligible companies create verified business profiles and a specialized business agent so ChatGPT users can ask questions about the business and its products. The hub also provides limited business insights such as profile views, mentions, and website clicks, and companies must go through a formal verification process that OpenAI said uses multiple methods for different markets.
Why it matters
