OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet so AI agents can complete purchases

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet for AI agents to make purchases, Cohere acquired security company AISLE, and DeepSeek opened its app's search, files, links and voice to developers. The Wallet matters most because it lets AI agents complete purchases for users, with their approval and existing card protections.

Three things that changed in tech and AI, why they matter, and what to watch. Every item links to its claim on the record; the record has no opinions.
