Aleph announced on November 12, 2026 that it had become OpenAI’s exclusive reseller for ChatGPT Ads in 44 countries, giving brands and agencies a local channel for contracts, payments, onboarding and support.

The arrangement began with the announcement. Participating advertisers contract and are invoiced locally, while Aleph’s teams provide onboarding and first-line support in each market. The company’s partnership page describes assistance spanning planning, activation and ongoing growth, supported by local currency and payment infrastructure.

Aleph founder and CEO Gastón Taratuta said advertisers could work with “a local team that speaks their language, bills in their currency and extends credit.” That places Aleph between OpenAI’s advertising platform and local buyers, with responsibility for commercial and service tasks beyond the underlying availability of ad inventory.

Regional Scope and Advertiser Access

Latin America accounts for 14 of the markets, including Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Puerto Rico. Europe and Central Asia have 16, including Kazakhstan, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. The 10 Middle East and Africa markets include Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Bangladesh, Cambodia, Hong Kong and Sri Lanka make up the four-market Asia-Pacific portion.

Aleph’s signup process distinguishes between brands and agencies, then uses the advertiser’s country to connect it with the relevant local team. That gives both types of media buyer a concrete entry point into the arrangement and puts Aleph’s local organization at the start of the customer relationship.

OpenAI’s Advertising Scale

OpenAI’s October 21, 2026 announcement reported 26 additional countries, taking ChatGPT Ads to 89 worldwide, alongside more than 1.2 billion weekly users and over 100,000 advertisers that had run campaigns since the ads launch just over eight months earlier. Advertisers in the expansion markets could access the platform through technology partners or self-service Ads Manager. OpenAI limits ads to the Free and Go plans, with Plus, Pro and Enterprise subscriptions remaining ad-free. Aleph’s new status is specifically as exclusive reseller within that broader distribution structure.

OpenAI’s August 31, 2026 announcement of expanded self-service access in India, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa also reported that ChatGPT Ads had reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in less than 200 days. Advertising sits alongside consumer subscriptions, enterprise offerings and usage-based APIs in OpenAI’s business model. That milestone gives Aleph’s assignment commercial context: the reseller is taking on local sales operations for an advertising business that had already moved beyond its early pilot.

Concentrating the reseller role in one partner gives OpenAI a single counterpart across the footprint. It also makes Aleph’s execution—especially billing, credit and first-line support—part of the product experience for brands and agencies, so local service quality becomes central to the partnership’s commercial value.
