I’ve just seen this online and had to share it. This comes from official Etsy news.
If you remember, just before Christmas at the end of Q3, Etsy announced they were teaming up with OpenAI to allow people to shop directly through ChatGPT. That’s still happening, but they’re now also teaming up with Copilot to do something similar.
I’ve linked the document, along with a helpful discussion I created using NotebookLM. I genuinely love these kinds of conversations 🤍 Honestly, this makes me feel like we’re in a really good place with Etsy, especially for digital products, as they move towards this kind of buying model. It also feels very true to how we’re already starting to shop.
At Christmas, this is exactly how I did my initial research for a laptop for Luke. I used very specific requirements and let AI narrow things down for me. So it makes sense that this will extend to everything else too.
I’m curious what you think 🤔
Do you see this as a good thing or a bad thing for Etsy sellers, both digital and physical?
And what do you think this means for the high street and small businesses more broadly?
I’d love to hear your thoughts 🧐
