OpenAI has begun rolling out a preview among US Pro users that allows texting its Dot agents via iMessage and RCS. Users can send texts, photos, and voice memos to give instructions, and the agent will proactively text back with task updates. The feature uses Linq for messaging support and underwent extensive penetration testing for safety.
Only the user can text their dot, and memory context carries over between ChatGPT and text. This comes as Anthropic launched Claude Duet, though it requires a waitlist and is limited to Pro subscribers. OpenAI's Dots are currently not available to Plus tier users.
