OpenAI launches commercial operations in S\u00e3o Paulo as Brazil becomes a top AI market, driving innovation and economic potential.<\/p>\n

OpenAI has officially launched commercial operations in Brazil, establishing a dedicated team in S\u00e3o Paulo to support the country’s rapid adoption of artificial intelligence. Brazil is now one of ChatGPT\u2019s top three markets globally, with users in the country sending an estimated 215 million messages to ChatGPT daily, according to OpenAI data from August 2026. This expansion underscores OpenAI\u2019s long-term commitment to fostering AI-driven growth and innovation in one of the fastest-growing markets for AI technology.<\/p>\n

CEO Sam Altman highlighted the \u201ccreativity and energy\u201d of Brazil\u2019s entrepreneurial and developer communities, noting the distinctive ways in which Brazilians are leveraging AI. For instance, the number of developers using OpenAI\u2019s API in Brazil ranks second globally, while Codex\u2014a tool for generating and completing code\u2014has seen its daily interactions in the country expand thirtyfold since early 2026. Such widespread adoption reflects not only the scale of interest but also a shift toward practical applications of AI across industries.<\/p>\n

OpenAI is also emphasizing the economic potential of AI in Brazil. An independent study by RegLab, funded by OpenAI, estimates that AI could contribute nearly R$1 trillion to Brazil\u2019s GDP by 2030. However, the company stresses that achieving this impact will require more than just technology; it will also depend on skills development, responsible deployment, and collaboration with local institutions. To that end, OpenAI is partnering with Brazilian organizations across education, research, and business sectors.<\/p>\n

Recent initiatives include providing AI literacy training for legal professionals, collaborating with the Instituto Tecnol\u00f3gico de Aeron\u00e1utica (ITA) to expand access to AI tools for students and faculty, and supporting small businesses through mobile-first AI training programs. OpenAI is also working with S\u00e3o Paulo\u2019s municipal government to explore AI applications in public services.<\/p>\n

Brazil\u2019s business community has embraced AI at a breakneck pace. The number of ChatGPT Enterprise seats in the country has quintupled over the past year, and local entrepreneurs are using ChatGPT for diverse applications\u2014from drafting marketing strategies to building internal management tools. Jewelry designer Lina Prades, for example, used ChatGPT to streamline her operations and create apps for her business, demonstrating how non-technical users can leverage AI to innovate.<\/p>\n

The cultural sector is similarly thriving. OpenAI recently hosted its first Creators Day in S\u00e3o Paulo, showcasing projects by local artists like Dell Nunes, who uses AI to depict Brazil\u2019s diverse communities, and Paulo Aguiar, who blends AI with human creativity across multiple media formats. These initiatives aim to support Brazil\u2019s creator community while shaping AI tools to reflect local culture and context.<\/p>\n

OpenAI\u2019s Brazilian expansion builds on earlier moves, including a May 2026 media partnership with Grupo Folha and Grupo UOL, which integrated Brazilian journalism into ChatGPT. In August 2026, the company also launched ChatGPT Ads in Brazil, signaling its intent to monetize AI adoption further in the region.<\/p>\n

With Brazil now a global leader in AI usage, OpenAI\u2019s investment could play a pivotal role in shaping how AI contributes to economic growth and societal progress. The company\u2019s efforts to deepen its engagement with developers, businesses, and institutions signal a broader strategy to embed AI into Brazil\u2019s economic and cultural fabric.<\/p>\n
