Ad policy · OpenAI
Can you advertise AI companion apps on ChatGPT?
No. Adult AI companion apps and websites aren’t allowed. OpenAI’s policy names only adult companions; it doesn’t address other companion apps.

AI companions on other AI channels
The same category is treated differently on each channel. A rule on one channel doesn’t apply to the others.
| Channel | Treatment | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT (this page) | Not allowed | Adult companion apps not allowed.[1] |
| Google AI | No category rule | No category rule; general policies apply. |
| Gravity | No category rule | No category rule; general policies apply. |
“No category rule” means the provider has no rule for this category; its general policies still apply.
Where ChatGPT ads never appear
Separately from what you advertise, OpenAI keeps ads away from some conversations, whatever the advertiser.
- Safe conversations only
- Ads appear only next to conversations OpenAI considers safe; sensitive and brand-unsafe contexts are excluded.[1]
- Excluded topics
- No ads in conversations about political content, regulated goods such as gambling and tobacco, weapons, suicide or self-harm, child safety, debated social issues or misinformation, among others.[1]
- Vulnerable contexts
- No ads in emotionally reliant conversations, mental or personal health conversations, or other sensitive moments.[1]
- Advice topics
- Since April 2026, conversations asking for medical, legal or financial advice are no longer automatically excluded from ads.[1]
How Admux screens it
Admux screens each campaign against the rules of every channel you select, before anything is submitted. Each channel is checked on its own, so a rule on one channel never blocks the others.
For ChatGPT, a AI companion apps campaign isn’t submitted. You can still run it on Google AI and Gravity, where AI companion apps is not covered by a category rule.
