It’s not a dream anymore. OpenAI has teamed up with Razorpay and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to roll out Agentic Payments on ChatGPT in India. Basically, you tell ChatGPT what you need, and it does the shopping for you—finding the products, confirming your choices, and completing payments through UPI. Even tracking orders and cancelling is automatic.
So, what’s the big deal?
A Strategic Move
This partnership addresses challenges faced during OpenAI’s previous India launch, where a Stripe UPI payment failure hindered the ChatGPT Go plan’s rollout.
Seamless Shopping Experience
Imagine asking ChatGPT to order groceries from BigBasket. The AI fetches the items, confirms your selection, and processes the payment via Razorpay’s UPI integration. No switching between apps, no hassle. mint
India’s Digital Backbone
UPI is the world’s largest real-time payment system, handling over 20 billion transactions monthly. Integrating it with ChatGPT brings a trusted and efficient payment method to conversational AI. No app switching, no endless forms, no payment hassles. ChatGPT is slowly becoming more than a chat—it’s a personal assistant that does things for you, making online shopping faster, smarter, and ridiculously convenient.
While the pilot is currently limited, the potential is vast. If successful, we might see AI agents handling authorized payments autonomously, transforming how we shop and pay online
