Sponsored substitutions in grocery chat
When a grocery item is out of stock, a chat assistant can offer relevant substitutes, and one can be a labelled sponsored alternative. The shopper chooses; nothing is swapped without approval.
Relevance first
A substitute must match size, diet and use. A sponsored product that fails those checks is not shown.
Label and choose
Show the usual item, the organic substitute and the sponsored one, clearly labelled.
Measure
Track accepted swaps and whether shoppers return to their usual item later.
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.
