OpenAI introduces dots, always-on AI agents in ChatGPT
OpenAI added new AI agents called dots to ChatGPT. They keep working in the background even when no one is talking to them.
Each dot runs on GPT-6 Astra. It has its own cloud computer and connects to more than 4,000 apps.
Users can reach their dot through ChatGPT, Slack, Teams or a voice call, with texting coming soon. And it doesn’t just wait for commands, it reaches out first. It comes to users with progress updates, questions and decisions that need their approval. Users can open its computer anytime to watch what it’s doing.
In one of OpenAI’s examples, a developer’s dot reads customer feedback, then prepares and tests small fixes on its own. All the developer has to do is review and approve.
Users stay in control. When no one’s talking to it, a dot works read-only and can’t send messages. Sensitive actions go through an automated check, and users decide which ones need their approval. OpenAI’s own warning: dots can still make mistakes. For now it’s only on Pro and Business Premium.
