What is the ChatGPT ad format?

This is a screenshot that looks like a real ChatGPT conversation, where someone asks a question and the AI recommends your product as part of the answer. It works because people trust ChatGPT to give unbiased advice, so seeing your solution show up in that interface feels like third-party validation instead of an ad. Use it when your product solves something people would actually ask an AI about—like "best CRM for solo founders" or "how to fix sleep without melatonin."
