Instead of typing something like \u201cwooden coffee table,\u201d then scrolling and adjusting filters, users can now express what they\u2019re looking for in natural language. For instance, \u201cHelp me find a Mother\u2019s Day gift under $100 for my mom who loves gardening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now live in beta, the feature allows users to tag @Etsy directly within a prompt. From there, the Etsy app in ChatGPT surfaces relevant product listings that users can browse, compare, and click through to Etsy for additional details or purchase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t Etsy\u2019s first experiment inside ChatGPT. Back in September, Etsy became an early partner in ChatGPT\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/buy-it-in-chatgpt\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instant Checkout <\/a>integration, which let users buy products directly inside the chat interface. However, the initiative <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/03\/20\/open-ai-agentic-shopping-etsy-shopify-walmart-amazon.html\" target=\"_blank\">ended in March<\/a>, suggesting it didn\u2019t perform as OpenAI had hoped. It was <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.modernretail.co\/technology\/what-went-wrong-with-chatgpts-instant-checkout\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that Etsy didn\u2019t see a large volume of sales from the integration, leading Etsy to start building a native app within ChatGPT instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside this launch, Etsy also revealed it\u2019s testing a beta conversational search experience within its platform, specifically geared toward helping users find gifts. The gift assistant acts as a personal shopper, offering a guided, conversational way to discover ideas, narrow down preferences, and surface relevant products.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"363\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Etsy-gift-assistant.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3119220\"  \/>Image Credits:Etsy<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This builds on Etsy\u2019s broader AI push, which includes an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/news\/the-starting-point-for-special-etsy-unveils-new-ai-powered-discovery-experience\" target=\"_blank\">AI-powered discovery experience<\/a> featuring curated collections and a suite of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/seller-handbook\/article\/1402347260856\" target=\"_blank\">seller tools<\/a>, including a tool that helps generate product titles and descriptions, as well as a writing assistant to help draft messages to buyers. In 2024, Etsy <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2024\/07\/09\/etsy-new-seller-policy-2024-generative-ai\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">introduced<\/a> a new \u201cDesigned\u201d label to identify AI content, part of an effort to increase transparency as AI-generated artwork becomes more prevalent on the platform.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The news of a ChatGPT integration comes a week after Etsy <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/investors.etsy.com\/_assets\/_1a39ccc8616e735402e1359c7fbbd55c\/etsy\/db\/938\/10070\/shareholder_letter\/Q126+Shareholder+Letter_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> its Q1 2026 earnings, surpassing revenue expectations with $631 million, and marketplace gross merchandise sales were up 6% year over year. Notably, active buyers increased for the first time in two years to 86.6 million. Etsy also touted 5.6 million active sellers on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In February, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/02\/18\/etsy-sells-secondhand-clothing-marketplace-depop-to-ebay-for-1-2b\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> it was selling Depop to eBay for $1.2 billion in cash, a move aimed at doubling down on its core marketplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Etsy joins a growing list of companies building<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/04\/06\/how-to-use-chatgpt-apps-doordash-spotify-uber\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">native apps<\/a> within ChatGPT, including Angi, SeatGeek, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/04\/08\/tubi-is-the-first-streamer-to-launch-a-native-app-within-chatgpt\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tubi<\/a>, and Wix.
