What Zen Shopping does in ChatGPT
The Zen Shopping plugin is a shopping helper in ChatGPT. You describe what you want, with a budget or must-have features if you like, and it compares prices across stores and suggests products that fit. That saves opening a dozen tabs to check the same item in different shops.
It works for specific items, such as a quiet wireless mouse under $50, and for open questions, such as a gift for a coffee lover. You can also ask it to compare products like 4K monitors and show where to buy them.
When you decide, you check out on the retailer's own page rather than in the chat, so payment stays with the store. You start the plugin by typing @ and picking Zen Shopping from the list, or by typing its name followed by a space at the start of your message.
