Summary
Bolt’s ChatGPT integration is now live globally, letting users request rides in natural language after installing the Bolt plugin from the ChatGPT store.
Inside ChatGPT, riders can get upfront fare estimates, compare routes, see driver arrival times and choose pickup points before trip details are handed off to the Bolt app for booking.
Payments still run through the Bolt app at launch, though Bolt said it plans a future update that will allow users to pay directly within ChatGPT.
Accenture’s 2025 survey of more than 18,000 consumers in 14 countries found 80% of travelers already use AI for travel planning and more than half would let AI manage arrangements.
