ChatGPT can now buy things for you. On Friday OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet, so its AI agents can check out with your card.
What’s actually in it:
→ Your card number isn’t shared with the agent or the store. It pays with a substitute
→ You review the items and the total, then approve every purchase with Face ID or a fingerprint
→ No spending limits yet. OpenAI says they’re coming
→ For now it’s a limited rollout to some US ChatGPT Pro users
That approval tap is the part to take seriously. In a Cisco and Carnegie Mellon study, AI agents picked pricier options for users they thought were rich, and a clear budget nearly closed the gap for most models.
So if you try it, give the agent a number and read the total before you approve.
Would you let an AI agent buy something for you?
