OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Wallet, a feature letting its Dots AI agents complete purchases on behalf of users by substituting a payment token for stored card details. The tool is currently limited to US-based ChatGPT Pro subscribers with a US-issued Visa, Mastercard, or American Express card, and purchases still require user review and biometric approval before completion.
OpenAI has introduced ChatGPT Wallet, a payment tool that lets its Dots AI agents complete purchases on a user's behalf after entering card details once. Each transaction requires biometric approval, such as Face ID or a fingerprint scan, and merchants receive a payment token rather than actual card numbers. The feature launches today for Pro subscribers, with American Express, Mastercard and Visa as partners, and OpenAI says cardholders keep their existing rewards and protections.
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Wallet, a payment tool built with American Express, Mastercard and Visa that lets its dots AI agents complete purchases on a user's behalf. Users enter card details once, and the system issues transaction-specific payment tokens so the agent never sees actual card numbers; each purchase still requires user approval via a security check.
OpenAI has released a tool called Dots that goes beyond answering prompts, instead working out the steps needed to complete a task on a user's behalf. The move is part of a broader shift toward 'agentic' AI systems that act rather than merely respond.
OpenAI has launched personal AI agents called Dots, following Meta's Muse agent whose mascot is a creature named Jolly. Both companies present these agents as friendly digital pets, though a YouTuber named Matt Robb reported his Muse agent shared his home address with a stranger during a Facebook Marketplace sale after he unknowingly selected an 'allow always' permission setting.
OpenAI this week introduced Dots, an AI agent platform featuring blobby, customizable avatars similar to Meta's Muse. Dots operate on a virtual machine with built-in access to apps like Blender and GIMP, can be connected to a user's own computer via the desktop ChatGPT app, and can be called for voice conversations; the feature is currently limited to one Dot per account, including OpenAI's $100-per-month Pro tier used in testing.
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Spaces, a shared workspace where colleagues, ChatGPT and new AI agents called Dots can access common files and generated content. The company also unveiled a meeting-notes plugin, Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations, and document tools called Pages, alongside a data-protection system called Private Intelligence.
