"OpenAI would be most interested in the bones of Pinterest's business, like its trove of image data and its existing advertising business, as well as relationships with merchants. Pinterest's digital scrapbooking features could also complement OpenAI's image- and video-generation tools and help it fend off competition from other AI heavyweights like Google, which launched a Pinterest-like feature in 2025."
"Google combined their search crawler with their AI creating an incredible data base - one that has arguably given Gemini the edge."
An acquisition of Pinterest by OpenAI would give OpenAI access to Pinterest's large labeled image corpus, existing advertising operations, and merchant relationships. Those assets could improve OpenAI's image and video generation, strengthen search capabilities, and supply training data to better compete with rivals that combine web-scale crawling and AI. The move would likely accelerate integration of shopping features into conversational AI and make Pinterest more commerce-focused under new ownership. Users could see AI-driven product discovery and built-in purchasing paths. There is currently no clear public indication that such a deal is imminent.
