OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet enabling AI agents to shop and checkout on users' behalf
OpenAI introduced a new Wallet feature for ChatGPT that allows AI agents, called dots, to assist users in shopping and completing purchases autonomously. Initially available to a limited number of U.S.-based ChatGPT Pro subscribers with eligible Visa, Mastercard, or American Express cards, the feature requires user approval through biometric verification before any transaction is finalized. The wallet uses payment tokens to protect users’ actual card details, maintaining security and privacy. Though currently limited in availability, OpenAI plans to expand support, enable more user controls like spending limits, and increase retailer compatibility. This move reflects a growing trend in personal AI agents facilitating consumer purchases, despite some retailers such as Amazon restricting AI agent access to promote their own solutions.
