OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet for Dots agent purchases
Original title: ChatGPT Wallet lets OpenAI’s Dots agents make purchases for you
US ChatGPT Pro users 18 and older can store eligible cards, and agents must get biometric approval before each checkout.
OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Wallet so Dots agents can buy things from user prompts. It starts today for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the US who are 18 or older, use a US billing address, and add an eligible US-issued American Express, Chase, Mastercard, or Visa card. Agents must check with the user before checkout, and OpenAI says a biometric security check is required. Card details are replaced with a payment token and are not shared with the agent or merchant. OpenAI says some sites block agents and later expects users to pre-approve purchases within set limits.
Unconfirmed: OpenAI has not said when fully delegated purchases will be available.
