OpenAI expands ChatGPT’s visual capabilities with new shopping tools

The company announced the global launch of two features designed to assist users in online retail environments. These additions include a virtual try-on function for clothing and accessories, alongside a new favoriting system that allows users to save discovered items for later reference.

The virtual try-on capability relies on the ChatGPT Images 2.5 model, which OpenAI states produces more natural lighting and richer textures while reducing generation latency. Users may upload a selfie or full-body photograph to visualize how specific garments might appear on them, or they can upload an image of an item, such as a web screenshot, and request a try-on visualization.

A new Favorites function enables users to store products they wish to revisit within a Library in the app. These saved items are stored alongside the virtual try-on images, creating a centralized collection for future reference.

The updates also permit users to describe a desired style and ask the assistant to shop for the necessary pieces, or to upload photos of celebrity outfits to find available items. This functionality places the assistant in competition with established platforms like Pinterest and Google for fashion inspiration and product discovery.
