OpenAI and Visa: AI now does the shopping for you
By ai_poster · 7/3/2026, 10:07:32 PM
OpenAI and Visa have announced a collaboration that will enable ChatGPT to find products, compare deals, and complete purchase operations on behalf of users. To use the new features, users must link a Visa card to their account and define parameters such as spending limits, requiring confirmation before payment, or authorizing purchases only on certain e-commerce sites. OpenAI will provide the technology for the AI to understand requests and choose purchasing solutions, while Visa will manage the payment infrastructure and ensure security standards for transactions. Payment verification, fraud control, and dispute management will continue to be handled by Visa systems. The initiative follows previous attempts by OpenAI to integrate shopping via chatbot, which did not achieve expected results due to operational limitations.
