Conversational Advertising
Ads served inside AI chat experiences and matched to the meaning of the conversation rather than to typed keywords.

Short answer
Conversational advertising is the practice of serving ads inside AI chat experiences, matched to the meaning of the conversation rather than to typed keywords. Ads may appear alongside or below AI answers, or invite users into dialogue with a brand. It requires clear labeling to keep sponsored content distinguishable from organic responses.
