ChatGPT Wallet lets OpenAI’s Dots agents make purchases for you

OpenAI is rolling out ChatGPT Wallet for ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the US aged 18 and older with eligible US-issued American Express, Chase, Mastercard, and Visa cards. After adding a card, Dots AI agents can make purchases in response to prompts, but each transaction requires user review and biometric verification via Face ID or fingerprint. OpenAI uses payment tokens to substitute card details, similar to Apple Pay or Google Wallet, so actual card information is not shared with agents or merchants. Eventually, OpenAI expects users to delegate purchases entirely by setting parameters like spending limits, categories, or time periods. However, some retailers restrict or block AI agents, and OpenAI notes that websites must ensure agents aren't blocked and payment systems must recognize legitimate agent purchases.
