TL;DR
- OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet to let its Dots AI agents make purchases for users.
- Wallet is available to US-based ChatGPT Pro subscribers who have a US-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
- The move comes as some retailers and service providers ban AI agents from their platforms.
OpenAI’s Dots personal AI agents are gaining the ability to shop, with the launch of ChatGPT Wallet today. The digital wallet substitutes a payment token for a user’s credit card details and lets its Dot make purchases.
ChatGPT Wallet is available to US-based ChatGPT Pro subscribers who have a US-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card. OpenAI said that while Dots will assist in the purchase process, users will review the items, be apprised of the total, select the card to use, and approve the purchase with a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan. The goal, though, is for the agents to ultimately have more control.
