What OpenAI ads are

OpenAI ads, ChatGPT ads and Ads Manager are names for the same programme. What it covers, where ads appear, what is self service and what is still alpha.

What ChatGPT ads are

OpenAI publishes no rate card. Here is what it does publish: billing by objective, a suggested starting CPC bid, the AED 65 daily minimum and how budgets really pace.
