OpenAI has launched an 'instant checkout' button in ChatGPT and open sourced the Agentic Commerce Protocol that it, along with Stripe, employs to support this function. The idea is that it bridges the gap between AI as an information tool and AI as an e-commerce tool (and, I guess, the gap between AI that loses money and AI that makes money).

It's for U.S. customers only at the moment; other countries will have to wait (presumably to satisfy security and consumer protection regulations). See also: ZDNet, CMSWire, CNBC.
