How to label sponsored products in AI answers
Label sponsored products in AI answers with a visible word such as "Sponsored" next to each product, say it in voice answers, and instruct the assistant never to describe a sponsored product as its own neutral pick.
On screen
Put the label on the product card, not only in small print at the end.
In speech
Say "sponsored option" before naming the product.
In the data
Use the sponsored mark returned with each result so labelling never depends on the model remembering.
Run it with Particular Audience
Sponsored Prompts runs on Adaptive Transformer Search and the open-source ATS MCP server. Advertisers pick products or a collection; each item surfaces automatically, labelled, in chats, prompts and AI searches where it scores highly.

How Particular Audience does it
Frequently asked questions
Is a tooltip enough?
A visible word is clearer. Follow platform and local rules.
Should the assistant explain why it appeared?
Yes, if asked: because it matched the request and is sponsored.
