↑ 0%AI-Native advertising platforms. Criteo Expands ChatGPT Ads with Prompt Smart Ads Globally Published Jul 9, 2026 AI-native advertising platforms are changing digital marketing by placing brands inside conversational AI experiences where consumers actively research and discover products. Criteo has expanded ChatGPT Ads to additional international markets while introducing Prompt Smart Ads, which dynamically generate product creatives and descriptions based on the context of a user's query. By combining commerce data, shopping signals and prompt-level insights, advertisers can deliver more relevant messaging that aligns with consumer intent throughout the conversation. For brands, this model offers higher-quality customer acquisition by engaging shoppers earlier in the purchase journey rather than relying solely on traditional search or display advertising. Retailers and marketers also gain stronger measurement, streamlined campaign management and scalable access to AI-driven commerce environments. As conversational AI becomes a larger discovery channel, AI-native advertising platforms are positioning businesses to reach consumers with personalized recommendations that improve campaign performance while creating more natural shopping experiences. What's driving this trend. * Conversational Commerce Ads - Brands embedded within AI chat experiences create new pathways for intent-based discovery, where sponsored recommendations can feel native to consumer research journeys. * Prompt-level Personalization - Dynamic ad creative shaped by individual query context opens space for more adaptive messaging that reflects real-time shopping needs and preferences. * AI-driven Campaign Measurement - Commerce data combined with conversational signals introduces richer attribution models that can redefine how marketers evaluate discovery, engagement and conversion. Who this affects most. * Digital Advertising - AI-native ad formats expand the industry beyond search and display by turning conversational interfaces into scalable media inventory. * Retail Technology - Retailers using prompt-based product recommendations gain access to personalized commerce experiences that can improve discovery and customer acquisition. * E-commerce - Shopping platforms connected to conversational AI ecosystems benefit from more natural product exploration, personalized merchandising and data-informed conversion opportunities. 3.7 out of 10 50% Men 50% Women Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia GENERATION * Gen Z * Gen Alpha * Millennial (primary audience) * Gen X (primary audience) POPULARITY Popularity 11% Activity 0% Freshness 100%

Albertsons adds sponsored product discovery to AI grocery search. By PYMNTS | June 25, 2026 Albertsons has launched a new integration with commerce intelligence platform Criteo. The partnership, announced Thursday (June 25) by the grocery giant's retail media arm Albertsons Media Collective, is designed to bring product discovery into Albertsons artificial intelligence-powered conversational search. "As customers increasingly turn to AI-driven tools for inspiration and guidance, Albertsons Media Collective is helping brands participate in key planning and shopping moments that are closer to purchase," the company said in a news release. "The integration modernizes the app search experience by surfacing ads naturally within conversational discovery." With Criteo, eligible sponsored products can appear inside AI-powered conversational search product carousels, directing customers to relevant items while offering advertisers a natural way to appear within the shopping journey, the release added. "As shoppers use AI and conversational experiences to explore options, brands have an opportunity to put customers first by connecting them to the right products in the moments that matter, meeting their needs with relevance while making retail media feel effortless and organic," said Jill Pavlovich, Albertsons senior vice president for digital customer experience. "This integration is about creating retail media that helps customers along their shopping journey, showing up in ways that are useful and additive to their experience, while giving advertisers a new path to engage closer to the moment of purchase." The new partnership is the latest example of Albertsons' embrace of AI. The company last month launched Intelligent Quality Control, a tool for the chain's distribution centers designed to visually inspect grapes and berries to determine if they are still fresh. "Produce quality inspection has always been a human problem with a human-shaped flaw," PYMNTS wrote. "The same item might grade differently depending on the inspector, the shift, the warehouse or the hour. Across a network like Albertsons' 22 distribution centers and 2,244 stores, small inconsistencies can compound." And during an earnings call at the start of the year, Albertsons said that its Ask AI search capability was yielding a 10% increase in basket size for those customers using it. Meanwhile, PYMNTS wrote earlier this year about one of the challenges facing businesses when it comes to retail media: nearly half of all retail shoppers did not notice an offer made via these channels during their most recent purchase. "Among those who do find them, most offers require multiple steps to redeem, and only a small minority are automatically applied at checkout," PYMNTS wrote in April. "That gap directly affects whether retail media can do what it is designed to do - which, in a nutshell, boils down to changing consumer behavior."
Albertsons Media Collective has integrated with Criteo to bring sponsored product discovery to its AI-powered conversational search feature. The partnership enables brands to connect with shoppers during meal planning and basket building through naturally surfaced advertisements within product carousels. The integration allows eligible sponsored products to appear within AI-driven conversational search results, helping advertisers engage customers closer to the point of purchase. Over 85% of Albertsons' AI-powered conversations begin with open-ended or exploratory questions, creating opportunities for brands to introduce products during discovery moments. Albertsons Companies operates over 2,200 locations across 35 states and the District of Columbia. Criteo, a global commerce intelligence platform built on proprietary data from over $1 trillion in annual sales, marks Albertsons as its first retailer to integrate sponsored products into an AI-powered shopping assistant.
