WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 10, 2026 – VistaPrint, the print and design partner to small businesses, today announced its participation in the OpenAI Ad Pilot Program. This initiative is designed to explore how relevant, helpful sponsored content can improve the user experience for people using ChatGPT.
As part of this test, VistaPrint is working alongside OpenAI to learn how conversational AI can better serve users during the “starting point” of their business journey. By surfacing customized print solutions in relevant contexts, VistaPrint aims to provide immediate value to users seeking to transition from a digital idea to a physical reality.
“We are excited to be part of this learning journey with OpenAI,” said Drew Casey, VP, Omnichannel at VistaPrint. “Our goal has always been to empower small businesses. By participating in this test, we are exploring new ways to provide users with the right tools at the right moment, helping them seamlessly imagine what’s possible as they develop their ideas within ChatGPT.”
“We believe ads play an important role in continuing to support broad access to AI,” said Asad Awan, Ads and Monetization lead at OpenAI. “By working closely with partners like VistaPrint in this pilot, we’re able to thoughtfully test new ad experiences and learn together to ensure ads are separate and clearly distinct, relevant, and useful while maintaining the trust people place in ChatGPT.”
Following OpenAI’s lead on the launch of this test in the U.S., VistaPrint will focus its participation on learning how this new format can drive meaningful engagement while maintaining the trust users place in ChatGPT responses and OpenAI’s privacy framework.
