OpenAI has introduced Dots, persistent AI agents that can continue working on goals between conversations. Powered by GPT-6 Astra<\/a>, each Dot has its own cloud computer and browser, can use apps a user connects, and can handle recurring tasks. OpenAI says Dots can also delegate work to other agents. The initial rollout is limited to eligible paid plans and is gradual, so access may not appear for every account immediately.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For businesses, the change is significant: an AI tool can keep track of a continuing workflow, gather new information and prepare follow-up work over time. That makes Dots potentially useful for research, reporting, content preparation and project support. It also makes clear permissions and human review more important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are OpenAI Dots?<\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A Dot is an always-on agent in ChatGPT. A user gives it a goal and defines what it may do independently. It can make progress in the background, remember relevant context, and return with updates, questions or work for review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI says Dots can connect to more than 4,000 apps through its plugin ecosystem. Users can interact with them through ChatGPT, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Dots can use connected apps and their cloud computer, and can delegate parts of a task to subagents. App availability and permissions vary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples include investigating a reported software bug, updating launch materials as plans change, revising an analysis when new data arrives, and preparing content drafts from an interview transcript. These are product examples, not independent measurements of real-world performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Are Dots Different From a Regular ChatGPT Agent?<\/strong> <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A typical chat interaction responds to a prompt and ends when that task is complete. Dots are designed to retain context and continue working on an ongoing responsibility, including scheduled checks and background research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
