ChatGPT Gets a Wallet So AI Agents Can Shop and Pay for You

At a glance

OpenAI has added a Wallet feature to ChatGPT. Its AI agents can pick items and complete purchases for users. At first, only some U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers can use it.

Key points

1. 1

   Only U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and up with a U.S.-issued card can use it for now.

2. 2

   Users check the items, total, and card before checkout.

3. 3

   Purchases are approved with a security check like Face ID or a fingerprint.

4. 4

   A temporary payment token is used instead of card details, so the AI and merchant do not see the card information.

Why it matters

AI is moving from finding information to spending real money, which raises questions about consumer safety and control.
