What is conversational commerce advertising?
Conversational commerce advertising places sponsored products inside chat and voice shopping conversations. The ad is a product in the answer, chosen because it fits the request, and clearly labelled as sponsored.
The format
A shopper asks, the assistant answers with a few products, and one or two can be sponsored. Follow-up questions keep the conversation going and can refine which sponsored products remain relevant.
What advertisers buy
Visibility in answers where their products are a strong match. With Sponsored Prompts they pick products or a collection rather than writing keywords.
What retailers control
How many sponsored products an answer may hold, the relevance floor, labelling and which categories can be sponsored.
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.

Does this work with voice?
Yes. Spoken answers name the sponsored option as sponsored and ask before adding it.
Is it different from chatbot banners?
