Introducing ChatGPT Wallet

ChatGPT Wallet helps your dot go from finding what you need to making a purchase on your behalf. Whether you’re shopping for a new sweater or booking a hotel, you can ask your dot to help and use Wallet when it’s time to check out. Save an eligible card once, then approve purchases without entering your payment details again.

Before your dot pays, you review the merchant, items, total, and selected card, then authorize the purchase using biometrics such as Face ID or Touch ID. Wallet provides a substitute payment credential for checkout, keeping your actual card details hidden from the agent and business. You retain the rewards associated with your card and its protections for qualifying disputes.

Wallet is rolling out gradually in dots to ChatGPT Pro subscribers age 18 or older in the United States, with an eligible US-issued card and US billing address. To get started, ask your dot to add a card to Wallet. Some websites may not support purchases made by agents, and approval alone doesn’t confirm an order—check the merchant’s confirmation after checkout.

Change users' email addresses in Admin Console

Global admins can now change email addresses for eligible non-SCIM users in Admin Console. For Business organizations, this provides a way to update an existing account when a user's address changes, including a move between domains verified under the same tenant. For Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare tenants, this supports address changes on one verified domain or between domains verified under the same tenant.

Both the current and new email domains must be verified in that tenant, and the new address must not already belong to another OpenAI account. Accounts must be at least 24 hours old, with up to 2 changes per rolling 24 hours and 20 over the account's lifetime. SCIM-managed users should continue to update their email through their identity provider.

Users must belong to only 1 tenant. After an admin changes the email, OpenAI sends a notice to the user's previous email address.

Business Hub in ChatGPT

Business Hub gives business owners and authorized representatives a place to claim their business in ChatGPT. After your claim is approved, you can access your business in Business Hub. Once your identity verification with Persona is approved, you can publish updates to your business information, connect a product feed, and view insights such as mentions and website clicks.

After Persona verification is approved, eligible ecommerce and online service businesses in the US with a website can also create a business agent that answers customer questions using information you provide. Review and publish your agent before customers can chat with it. To get started, open Business Hub from the sidebar in ChatGPT on the web.

Retiring Advanced and Standard Voice

We’re retiring Advanced and Standard voice from ChatGPT Voice on December 11, 2026.

In July, we introduced GPT‑Live, our latest voice model that combines natural conversation with frontier intelligence. Since then, voice usage has nearly doubled, and virtually all people using voice in ChatGPT now use GPT‑Live. This change will allow us to simplify the voice experience and focus on improving GPT‑Live.

We've learned a lot from how people used both Advanced and Standard voice, and we're bringing those learnings into GPT‑Live as we continue to improve areas like the depth and detail of responses, maintaining continuity across conversations, and better personalization. Our ultimate goal is to make voice a seamless part of the ChatGPT experience.

Live video and screen-sharing will continue to be powered by Advanced voice until GPT‑Live has this capability.
