"OpenAI has rolled out a new personal finance feature inside ChatGPT. You can now connect bank accounts, credit cards and investment accounts directly to ChatGPT, and it'll help you make sense of your money. For now, it's only for Pro users in the US. Plus users get it later, eventually it will be open up to everyone. ChatGPT shows you a dashboard of where your money is going—spending, investments, active subscriptions and upcoming payments, all in one place. It connects to more than 12,000 institutions through Plaid."

"OpenAI is halting plans to support direct product checkout inside ChatGPT, according to The Information. The report says low buying activity inside ChatGPT is a major reason for the change. Internal findings suggest users often search for products but rarely complete purchases in ChatGPT. Technical hurdles, such as real-time product data synchronization across millions of retailers, made in-chat purchases difficult to scale. Fraud prevention further complicated efforts to run a full e-commerce checkout directly inside ChatGPT."

"OpenAI is planning to take a cut from online product sales made through ChatGPT by integrating a payment checkout system into the chatbot, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing multiple people familiar with the proposals. Merchants that fulfill orders through the payment system will pay a commission to OpenAI, the report said."
