I am seeing OpenAI roll out a new feature that lets ChatGPT Ads generate ads for advertisers, and I suspect AI is doing the heavy lifting behind it. The option appears under “Add new ad” and includes a prompt to “generate ads for you.”

From there, I can choose to let ChatGPT create the ad, then review it, edit it, and approve it before it goes live on the ChatGPT Ads platform.

What it looks like. Anthony Higman posted a screenshot of the feature on X, showing how the ad creation flow appears inside the platform.

In the screenshot, the interface says, “We generated an ad variation based on your website and campaign settings. Review, edit as needed, and activate when you’re ready.” I can then move forward by selecting “Review and create.”

I also noticed that Higman spotted a quick duplicate ad option, which could make it easier to create variations faster.

Why I care. It makes sense to me that OpenAI would use AI to help advertisers create ads more quickly. If the tool reduces friction, it could lead to more ads being created, submitted, and activated on ChatGPT Ads, which would also help OpenAI generate more revenue from ChatGPT.

As a marketer, I would still be careful with AI-generated ads. I would review every version closely to make sure the messaging fits the brand, supports the campaign strategy, and aligns with performance goals, including ROI.
