OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for agent-assisted purchases with approval
OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Wallet, which lets its Dots AI agents make purchases for users after they ask for something. The launch gives agents a way to complete online transactions, while requiring users to review and approve each checkout.
The wallet is initially available to US ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 or over with a US billing address and an eligible US-issued American Express, Chase, Mastercard or Visa card. Each purchase requires biometric verification, such as Face ID or a fingerprint, and uses a payment token so the agent and retailer do not receive the card details. OpenAI says it may later allow users to pre-approve purchases within set limits, but some retailers may block AI agents.
In short
- ChatGPT Wallet enables Dots agents to buy items after user approval.
- Every purchase requires biometric verification.
- OpenAI may later add spending limits and pre-approved purchases.
