If I had 30 minutes to show someone what Writesonic can do today, this is how I’d spend it. I’m doing exactly that on September 17. A live walkthrough of the platform, how to get started, and time for questions. 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT Link to register in the comments.

A lot of people know @Writesonic by name before they really know how the product works. So I’m doing a short live session on September 17 to walk through it properly. I’ll cover how you can get started, what you can actually do with the platform, and how teams are using it today. If you’ve been considering Writesonic and want a straightforward way to understand the product, join me. 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT Sign up for free. Link in the comments.

𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗚𝗣𝗧 𝗮𝗱s 𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝟮𝟴𝟬× 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆. I pulled 363,129 ChatGPT responses across 30 days to figure out what just happened. On May 26, OpenAI's ad surface went from "barely on" to running at full scale. The US is already a mature paid surface, and the geographic split shows OpenAI chose its launch markets very carefully. 1) Global ad penetration: 𝟬.𝟬𝟯% → 𝟭𝟰.𝟭𝟮% overnight (~𝟮𝟴𝟬× jump) 2) US penetration: 𝟰𝟳.𝟳% of responses now carry a paid ad 3) Volume: 30-day average was 𝟱.𝟵 𝗮𝗱𝘀/𝗱𝗮𝘆. May 26 alone produced 𝟭,𝟯𝟭𝟴. That single day cleared the prior 30-day total by 𝟳.𝟲× 4) US concentration: 𝟴𝟭% of all observed ads landed on US queries, even though the US is only 𝟮𝟰% of our scrape volume 5) Everywhere else: UK 𝟬.𝟲%, India 𝟬.𝟴%, and Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands all sit at exactly 𝟬% So here's what I think (and let me know your thoughts below): The May 26 switch wasn't a test. Self-serve CPC bidding went live on May 5. Twenty-one days of auction liquidity later, OpenAI flipped the surface from 0.03% to 14.12% in a single day. The geography tells you the rest. 81% of ads concentrated on US queries, three English-speaking markets active, every EU market at zero. It's 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴. OpenAI started where GDPR doesn't reach and the legal questions are closest to settled. For US brands in commercial categories, the "ChatGPT doesn't have ads" line is officially dead. It's now a paid surface with category density comparable to mature search. The auction is live, advertiser supply is still thin, and CPCs are still cheap. That math reverses faster than people expect. An AdWords click cost pennies in 2002. By 2008 it was $20. If you want to see what's showing up in your category, comment "ads" or DM me. Your top 20 commercial prompts probably look a lot more interesting than you'd guess. Full study and methodology in the comments.

Built an AI video editor for long-form content. Called it @bansi_ai. Claude Code was my CTO. Short-form has plenty of AI tools. Long-form has almost none. We've been using it internally for weeks. Still in beta. Still rough. But the core works: you hit record, Bansi edits. Your first video project is on us. Live on @ProductHunt today.
