OpenAI Dots Explained: The Always-On AI Agents
OpenAI’s Dots are always-on AI agents launched at DevDay on September 29. Here is how they work.
Each Dot runs on the GPT-6 Astra model with its own cloud computer and browser. Dots work inside ChatGPT, Slack and Teams.
They use over 4,000 app plugins and can handle long tasks without supervision. They remember context across sessions.
A Pro plan at $100 a month includes one Dot. The launch rivals Meta’s new Muse agents.
For businesses, Dots could automate routine workflows. Privacy controls limit what each Dot can access.
OpenAI has not announced wider availability. Analysts call always-on agents the next AI battleground.
