The Klarna Shopping Search app is live in ChatGPT

The launch comes as AI-powered product search reshapes online retail: during the 2025 holiday season, traffic from AI platforms to retail sites grew nearly 700%, with those shoppers converting at 31% higher rates.

Until now, consumers asking AI models for shopping help have had to open new browser tabs, navigate competing sites, and reconcile outdated prices. With the Klarna Shopping Search app in ChatGPT, they simply describe what they're looking for and instantly see visual results with up-to-date prices, availability, and offers from multiple merchants, all within the same conversation. The Klarna Shopping Search app then seamlessly redirects users to the merchant’s site to complete their purchase.

Powering the experience is Klarna's Product Search MCP server, which connects ChatGPT to Klarna's live commerce data of more than 100 million products and 400 million merchant listings across 13 markets, delivered directly inside ChatGPT so shoppers can find what they need before getting redirected to the merchant to buy. For merchants, Klarna Shopping Search opens a new high-intent discovery channel at the moment of decision. Retailers appear in organic results based on relevance, with options for clearly labeled sponsored placements to boost visibility.

"ChatGPT is where millions of people already turn when they're figuring out what they want," said David Sykes, Chief Commercial Officer at Klarna. "We're plugging our merchant network directly into that moment. A consumer who last week would have spent twenty minutes comparing tabs now gets a real answer in one conversation, creating a more seamless experience from idea to purchase."

The Klarna Shopping Search app is available now in ChatGPT.

Editor’s note: To access the Klarna Shopping Search app in ChatGPT, click “Apps” in the sidebar and search for “Klarna Shopping Search.” If you haven’t used the app before, select “Connect” and follow the prompts to connect to the app. If you’ve already connected, select “Start chat,” then describe what you’re looking for to browse real-time product results directly within the conversation.

Vara Receives World-First CE Certification for Autonomous AI in Breast Cancer Screening2.9.2026 08:00:00 CEST | Press Release

Vara has received CE certification under the EU Medical Device Regulation (Class IIb) for autonomous triage in organised breast cancer screening – the first breast AI certified anywhere to report screening examinations as normal without radiologist review. In autonomous triage, examinations the system classifies as clearly normal can be reported by AI without a radiologist reading them; every other examination continues to be read by at least one radiologist. This deployment mode is intended for organised population screening, where a shrinking radiologist workforce is straining programmes that still read every mammogram twice. The certification has only been possible because Vara has developed a safety system that supervises the autonomous use of its AI models. "What made this possible is not the AI model alone," said Stefan Bunk, CTO and co-founder of Vara. "It is based on seven years of continuous monitoring of how our AI performs in the real world, on every single case. That experi
