OpenAI released a ChatGPT Ads Manager plugin that creates, edits, troubleshoots and analyzes campaigns from natural-language instructions in ChatGPT or Codex, previewing changes before applying them. Custom audiences gained incremental add/remove/replace, mixed identifiers, GAID support, sub-25K exclusion lists and 5M+ audiences; the pixel and Conversions API accepted hashed phone, name, region and postal code; product feed advertisers got carousel-card-level impressions and clicks in Ads Manager and the Insights API.
- Carousel card impressions are billed separately from ad impressions (data from August 20).
- Campaign budget pacing spreads spend more evenly; view-through-inclusive conversion optimization billed by impression was announced as coming.
