Kind: launch · Impact: medium

## In brief

- OpenAI announced ChatGPT Wallet, letting ChatGPT agents make purchases on users' behalf.
- Agents pay with a stand-in card number, so the user's real card details are not shared with the agent or merchant.
- OpenAI built the feature with American Express, Mastercard, and Visa; it runs inside dots.
- Initial rollout is limited to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the US who are over 18.

## Why it matters

It shows how payment credentials can be kept away from AI agents and merchants, a pattern developers building agentic checkout will need to handle. Purchases still require user approval and existing card protections apply.
