OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for agentic shopping
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet, allowing agents in ChatGPT Work, Codex, and dots to complete purchases with user approval, while retaining existing card protections. TechCrunch reports that an agent called dots can help users select products and place and pay for orders on their behalf. The feature is initially available only to some US ChatGPT Pro subscribers, who must be at least 18 years old and hold a US-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card. The Verge reports that users also need a US billing address, and that cards that can be linked include American Express, Chase, Mastercard, and Visa. Users must directly approve each purchase through a security check such as Face ID or a fingerprint, thereby leaving a transaction record. The Decoder reports that at launch the feature is available only in the US through Dots. The Verge also notes that some retailers restrict or completely block AI agents. OpenAI said the limited initial rollout is intended to test and improve the feature before a broader launch; in the future it plans to let users set spending limits or configure parameters by product category and time period, so that agents can complete purchases more autonomously within preset bounds.
