ChatGPT Challenges Google With Business Profiles and Branded AI Agents

ChatGPT is moving into Google's territory. OpenAI launched Businesses in ChatGPT, a beta feature that lets companies claim profiles, track customer discovery, and connect with shoppers through AI and branded chat agents.

Details:

• Through Business Hub, eligible companies can verify their profiles, update business details, and add product feeds with prices and availability, much like Google's Business Profiles

• Businesses can see aggregated mentions, website clicks, and discovery topics to learn how people often find them in ChatGPT. OpenAI says private conversations are not shared

• U.S. ecommerce and online service companies can also launch branded Business Agents to answer shoppers' questions. They can also sponsor their agents or connect them to ChatGPT ads

With 1.2 billion weekly ChatGPT users, OpenAI could challenge Google's role in helping people discover, explore, and compare businesses before buying.

AI Tutorial

How to Build a Personal AI Mini-App Without Coding Using Muse

Meta's Muse Spaces lets you build personalized mini-apps without writing code. Create a client tracker, shopping dashboard, or daily planner, connect your favorite apps, and keep everything organized in one place.

1. Open Muse

   Visit Muse or open its mobile app and sign in. Spaces is available wherever Muse has launched.

2. Create Your Space

   Describe the mini-app you want Muse to build. For example:

   "Create a personal Client Hub with client names, active projects, deadlines, invoices, and pending tasks. Include an overview of upcoming deadlines, project status, and outstanding payments. Keep the dashboard clean and easy to navigate."

   Muse will build a custom Space based on your description.

3. Customize Dashboard

   Review the generated Space and ask Muse to adjust its layout, add sections, or change how it works.

   Example prompt:

   "Add a section for overdue tasks, highlight upcoming deadlines, and show a weekly project summary."

4. Connect Your Apps

   Connect supported services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, or Notion through Muse's available connectors.

   Review the requested permissions and allow those required for your Space to use the necessary information.

5. Enable Automatic Updates

   Ask Muse to use your connected apps to keep relevant information current.

   For example:

   "Keep my Client Hub updated with upcoming meetings, project deadlines, and relevant client information from my connected apps."

6. Test Your Mini-App

   Open your Space and try adding a note, updating a task, or marking something complete.

   Check that your changes remain available when you return.

7. Organize Spaces

   Add your finished Space to Muse's sidebar or main tabs for easy use. You can also schedule when it appears, such as displaying your work dashboard on weekdays.

Note: Spaces currently work inside Muse rather than as standalone shareable apps. Availability depends on your country, and connected features vary by service.
