OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet to let AI agents make purchases
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Wallet, a payment feature built with major card networks that allows its dots artificial intelligence agents to shop and complete online checkouts on behalf of users.
OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet, introducing a system that allows its artificial intelligence agents, known as dots, to make purchases on behalf of users. The rollout begins as a limited release for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the United States who are over 18, according to CNBC.[1][6][11][13]
The feature was built in partnership with American Express, Mastercard, and Visa. Users save payment cards to ChatGPT Wallet, allowing agents to browse products, compare options, and manage online checkouts. Instead of exposing sensitive account numbers, the system provides agents with one-time payment tokens so they complete transactions without ever accessing full card details.[2][3][4][5][7][9][12]
Transactions will not execute automatically. Orders require user review and explicit approval through a biometric check, such as Face ID, alongside configurable permissions and spending rules designed to maintain user control. In addition, existing card rewards and dispute protections remain intact on eligible purchases.[7][8][9]

⚡️NEW: OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet, letting its Dots AI agents shop online on users’ behalf. Users can save payment cards while agents browse products, compare options and handle checkout. Purchases require user review and explicit approval, with permissions and spending rules keeping users in control. The launch comes amid concerns about AI agents accessing financial accounts. In late October, Axios reported that major U.S. banks had detected unauthorized third-party agents inside customer accounts. Some appeared to act beyond users’ instructions or contacted call centers. Bank executives called the situation “horrifying.” That report was separate from ChatGPT Wallet, but it highlights the challenge ahead. Will you allow AI to SHOP and PAY on your behalf?
