OpenAI has signed a partnership agreement with Visa that allows the company’s AI agents to use the payment card for e-commerce transactions. The agreements lets users shop for everything from groceries and diapers to airline tickets without having to manually enter a lot of information.
“As AI agents become active participants in the economy, Visa’s focus is on ensuring that transactions are reliable, secure, and seamless,” Visa Chief Product and Strategy Officer Jack Forestell said in a statement, according to AP.
The pact means AI agents can complete purchases on a user’s behalf at virtually any merchant that accepts Visa. Details about the financial terms of the agreement, or whether specific transaction fees will apply, were not immediately detailed.
