Bolt has launched a ride-hailing integration for ChatGPT, making its service available through OpenAI’s app catalogue across every Bolt market at once. Users can ask ChatGPT about a journey, compare route options, view an upfront price estimate, check a driver’s expected arrival time and identify a suggested pickup point before being transferred to the Bolt app to complete the booking. The integration is not yet an end-to-end transaction inside ChatGPT; payments continue in the Bolt app at launch, although direct payment through the AI assistant is planned for later in 2026. Bolt says the rollout makes it the first ride-hailing platform available through ChatGPT across the EU, UK, Switzerland, Norway, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. The service appears in the ChatGPT app store and requires users to connect the Bolt integration manually. Paddy Partridge, Senior Vice President, Bolt, said: “For years, booking a ride meant opening a dedicated ride-hailing app. As more everyday interactions take place through AI, we think requesting a ride should be just as straightforward: ask, see the price, and go.” Bolt cites Accenture’s Consumer Pulse Research 2025, which surveyed 18,214 consumers across 14 countries and found that 80% of travellers use AI tools for travel purposes, while more than half would allow AI to manage their travel arrangements completely.
