ChatGPT's New Wallet Lets AI Agents Shop For You

OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Wallet, a new feature that empowers its AI agents, known as Dots, to assist users in selecting products and making purchases on their behalf. According to TechCrunch, this feature is set to launch initially for a select group of U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers who are aged 18 and above and possess a U.S.-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card.

OpenAI emphasizes that users retain full control over the purchasing process, as they can review the items, the total cost, and the payment card that will be utilized before the checkout is completed. Additionally, users are required to approve the purchases through a security check, such as Face ID or a fingerprint, which generates a record of the transaction.

OpenAI also highlights that customers utilizing Dots for shopping will still have the ability to earn credit card rewards and benefit from the standard protections associated with credit cards, including the right to dispute transactions.
