## Key points

- ChatGPT agents can prepare purchases for users.
- Every payment needs a biometric or similar approval.
- Wallet is initially limited to US adults on Pro.

## Summary

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet, which lets its Dots AI agents prepare purchases for users. The feature matters because it brings AI assistants into online payments, asking users to connect financial information while raising questions about security and how much control agents should have.

Users must approve each purchase through a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan. Merchants receive a payment token rather than the card details, and OpenAI says existing card rewards and protections remain; it has partnered with American Express, Mastercard and Visa. The US rollout is limited to Pro subscribers aged 18 and over, and OpenAI says it is not currently taking a cut of purchases.
