OpenAI Gives ChatGPT a Wallet So Its AI Agents Can Shop for You

technology

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet, a payment feature that lets its new Dots AI agents buy things on your behalf once you approve each purchase.

Users enter their card details once, and every transaction triggers a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan. Merchants never see your actual card number; the system hands them a payment token that stands in for the real details. American Express, Mastercard and Visa back the program, and cardholders keep their existing rewards and protections.

The feature is live today for US-based Pro subscribers aged 18 and older, with wider rollout planned. OpenAI is not taking a cut of purchases for now.
