Always-on OpenAI agents that work on their own cloud computer
OpenAI Dots is a life assistance tool. Dots are OpenAI's always-on agents, powered by GPT-6 Astra, each with its own cloud computer. They connect to over 4,000 apps, work in ChatGPT, Slack and Teams, and take on ongoing projects under user-set permissions.
Dots are persistent AI agents from OpenAI that keep working on a user's behalf instead of waiting for each prompt. Each dot runs on GPT-6 Astra, has its own cloud computer and browser, and uses the apps a user connects through a plugin ecosystem that reaches more than 4,000 services. A dot learns preferences and standards from feedback over time, and it can pick up tasks proactively, such as preparing an overdue invoice for approval. The product is aimed at professionals who carry many parallel projects: developers who want feedback turned into tested pull requests, marketers revising launch material when scope shifts, scientists rerunning analyses as data arrives, sales leads updating proposals, and creators turning interview transcripts into clips and posts. Organizations are a second audience. Specialist dots get their own identity, credentials and system access for defined duties such as procurement, invoice processing, customer support or contracting, starting with enterprise pilots and a planned integration with Microsoft Agent 365. In practice, a user creates a primary dot in the ChatGPT desktop app or desktop browser, names it, connects apps and lets it introduce itself. After that it can be reached by message or voice call in ChatGPT on desktop, web and mobile, plus Slack and Teams, with texting listed as coming soon. Context carries across channels. The dot's computer can be opened at any time for inspection, and it can be given permission to use a laptop. Control is a central part of the design. Custom Rules allow, require approval for, or block specific actions, an Activity View shows progress including background work, and background research uses read-only tools. Sensitive tasks such as changing a password stay with the user. Compared with chat assistants and workflow automation tools, dots sit closer to a delegated colleague, though availability is limited to certain plans and markets, and OpenAI states that dots can still make mistakes.
The first dot is included in Pro and Business Premium plans at no extra cost, with a deeper-work allowance that has extended limits for the first month after launch. Conversations with a dot do not count toward ChatGPT usage limits. Extra dots and scaling options are planned, with no prices stated.
