The move follows OpenAI’s recent rollout of dedicated retail apps for brands such as Canva, Coursera, Figma, Expedia, Spotify, and Zillow, and its new Instant Checkout feature that enables purchases from retailers like Etsy and Shopify. Target also plans to deploy ChatGPT Enterprise to its 18,000 employees for supply‑chain forecasting, store‑process optimization, and AI‑driven customer support. Leer más →
