News And Notes Mid-Year 2026 Show Update

yeah

A client told me about that and I said, oh, it's still in beta.

It's not out yet.

And this client embarrassingly sends me a link and goes, no, dude, like it's right here.

And I'm like, oh my gosh, it is.

I missed it.

I don't know how I missed that.

I spend 24 hours a day online reading nothing but marketing news and, you know, looking at sports.

I don't know how I missed it.

So anyways, ChatGPT ads are live.

You want to start there and then we can go into these other topics.

Yeah, I think that's a good way to start.

I mean, this is something that I was on a call post-marketing live.

And I, as the partner customers, was scrolling through their AI mode result.

I said, wait, hold up.

I said, what? I said, there's a sponsored result there.

And it did.

It looked very organic.

It looked authentic.

It looked, you know, like you would expect an ad to look in an AI mode thing.

I have not seen one in ChatGPT yet.

No, I've got the free version.

Admittedly, I still don't use ChatGPT all that much.

Yeah.

I was going to say, I need to like try the free version right now to see if I can get an ad.
