OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for AI-assisted purchases
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet for its Dots AI agents, which can help users shop and make purchases.
The feature is starting with eligible ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the US aged 18 and older who have supported payment cards.
Users add a card once, then review the items, total and card before approving each purchase with a check such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan.
A payment token keeps actual card details from the agent and merchant, while card rewards and protections remain available.
The launch comes as some retailers and other businesses block AI agents over security concerns.
OpenAI says the feature is in an early trial and has published guidance to help businesses support agent purchases.
OpenAI plans to expand access and add purchase limits and rules so users may eventually let agents buy within set parameters.
