Sierra and Meta launched Poppy v1.0 on November 13, enabling businesses to verify an assistant's identity, the user it represents and its permissions, KuCoin reported. Shopify automatically enabled discovery files for merchants across more than 175 countries, allowing assistants to locate participating stores' interfaces without manual merchant configuration. OpenAI separately introduced ChatGPT Wallet, which uses one-time card credentials after users review and biometrically authorize purchases. Its initial limited release covers U.S. ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 and older with eligible U.S.-issued cards. Whether Poppy and the wallet are integrated remains unclear.
