ChatGPT launches Wallet: AI agents can now shop and checkout
OpenAI has launched a ChatGPT Wallet feature that allows autonomous AI agents to select items and complete purchases on behalf of users.
OpenAI has launched a new wallet feature within ChatGPT that enables artificial intelligence agents to shop and make purchases on behalf of users. The feature allows agents called "dots" to help choose items and complete checkouts, TechCrunch reported.
The option is initially available to a limited number of ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and older in the United States using eligible Visa, Mastercard, or American Express cards. To safeguard sensitive financial information, the system uses payment tokens instead of sharing card details directly with merchants or agents.
OpenAI emphasised that users retain full control over each transaction, requiring them to review total costs and authenticate payments using biometric security such as Face ID or fingerprints before any purchase is finalised.
