- [WebMCP in OpenAI developer documentation](https://developers.openai.com/codex/webmcp) ([WebMCP 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/webmcp)) — ChatGPT Site Tools expose a subset of WebMCP, so support must be checked against OpenAI's documented surface rather than assumed from the draft.
- [Using Site Tools in the ChatGPT desktop app](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001423-using-site-tools-in-the-chatgpt-desktop-app) ([WebMCP 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/webmcp)) — Site Tools depend on the current page, account and model, and the user remains in control when actions need review.
- [Introducing ChatGPT agent](https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-agent/) ([Agent-led growth 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/agent-led-growth)) — ChatGPT agent combines research and action, moving the assistant from answering questions toward completing multi-step tasks with user oversight.
- [Agentic Commerce Protocol](https://openai.com/index/introducing-agentic-commerce-protocol/) ([Agent-led growth 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/agent-led-growth)) — ACP gives merchants and agents a shared transaction contract so discovery can become checkout without handing the entire customer relationship to one marketplace.
- [Buy it in ChatGPT](https://openai.com/index/buy-it-in-chatgpt/) ([Agent-led growth 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/agent-led-growth)) — ChatGPT shopping turns product answers into a purchase surface, making feed quality, merchant terms and checkout compatibility part of agent distribution.
- [Memory and new controls for ChatGPT](https://openai.com/index/memory-and-new-controls-for-chatgpt/) ([Personal assistants 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/personal-assistants)) — Useful personalization requires persistent context plus controls to inspect, remove, disable and separate what the assistant remembers.
- [Scheduled tasks in ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/10291617-scheduled-tasks-in-chatgpt) ([Personal assistants 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/personal-assistants)) — A personal assistant becomes proactive when work can run later, but recurring execution needs visible schedules, notifications and easy cancellation.
- [Introducing Operator](https://openai.com/index/introducing-operator/) ([Personal assistants 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/personal-assistants)) — Computer use lets an assistant act through existing websites, but confirmations, takeover and task boundaries remain central to safe completion.
- [Reimagining advertising with AI](https://openai.com/index/reimagining-advertising-with-ai/) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — OpenAI frames ads as a financing and discovery layer that must remain clearly labeled and separate from the model's answer.
- [Ads in ChatGPT: the basics](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001207-ads-in-chatgpt-the-basics) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — The basics page is the product contract: eligibility, placements, labeling, controls and the conditions under which an ad can appear.
- [Sponsored agents in ChatGPT ads](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001524-sponsored-agents-in-chatgpt-ads) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — A sponsored agent is an interactive commercial experience, not a conventional display unit, so the useful action and disclosure both matter.
- [New ways to buy ChatGPT ads](https://openai.com/index/new-ways-to-buy-chatgpt-ads/) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — OpenAI is expanding buying models and formats as the ad product matures, which makes current unit and optimization assumptions explicitly temporary.
- [ChatGPT Ads Manager availability](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001245-ads-manager-availability) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Availability varies by market, account and rollout stage, so access should be verified before a media plan assumes the surface exists.
- [Create campaigns for ChatGPT](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001210-create-campaigns-for-chatgpt) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Campaign setup establishes objective, audience, budget and delivery before creative; those choices determine what the system can optimize.
- [Create ads for ChatGPT ads](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001212-create-ads-for-chatgpt-ads) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Creative must make one useful commercial next step clear while meeting format, landing-page and policy requirements.
- [Write context hints for ChatGPT ads](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001521-write-context-hints-for-chatgpt-ads) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Context hints describe the situations where an offer is useful; they are not a hidden keyword list or permission to influence the answer.

- [Measure results in ChatGPT Ads Manager](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001214-measure-results) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Ads Manager reports delivery and attributed outcomes under its own definitions; totals are not automatically interchangeable with analytics or backend revenue.
- [Conversion measurement](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001409-conversion-measurement) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — A useful conversion setup has a stable event, deduplication, consent and a window that matches the buying cycle.
- [Advertiser guidance for OpenAI web crawlers](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001243-advertiser-guidance-for-allowing-openai-web-crawlers) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Ad review and destination understanding can depend on crawler access; blocking the wrong bot can break delivery without saying anything about organic inclusion.
- [Troubleshoot ChatGPT ads](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001217) ([ChatGPT ads 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/chatgpt-ads)) — Diagnose approval, delivery, tracking and destination problems separately rather than treating every zero as a targeting failure.
- [Introducing the Agents API](https://openai.com/index/introducing-the-agents-api/) ([Managed agents 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/managed-agents)) — OpenAI's Agents API exposes managed cloud agents powered by the Codex harness, with long-running sessions, environments and orchestration behind one API.
- [Introducing workspace agents in ChatGPT](https://openai.com/index/introducing-workspace-agents-in-chatgpt/) ([Managed agents 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/managed-agents)) — Workspace agents package repeatable, connected workflows for teams and run them in the cloud through ChatGPT's shared work surface.
- [Workspace agents](https://openai.com/academy/workspace-agents/) ([Managed agents 101](https://www.lazyweb.com/101/managed-agents)) — A managed team agent combines instructions, knowledge, tools, publishing controls and repeatable runs inside a shared workspace.
