Dots: Always-On AI Agents by OpenAI

Dots are remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything. They’re a whole new way to work with AI—one that gets to know what matters to you, is always working on your behalf, and takes important work off your plate. Powered by GPT‑6 Astra, they have their own cloud computer, learn from feedback over time, and can work towards your goals 24/7. Through their ecosystem of plugins, they can connect to over 4,000 apps, giving them the tools to help wherever you need them.

Your dot is always within reach, whether through Chat GPT, Slack, or Teams. You can ask questions, explore ideas, and give feedback along the way; or hop on a voice call when you need to talk something out. The more you work together, the more your dot learns your preferences, how you think, and what good looks like to you. The magic of dots is when they bring you work done the way you would do it, sometimes before you even think to ask.

Inside Open AI, dots are already making a difference. A bug appears in Slack, and dots immediately start investigating. A new design arrives, and dots turn it into a working app while the team focuses on customer feedback. Outside Open AI, an early tester’s dot noticed he’d forgotten to invoice a publication, prepared the invoice, and sent it after his approval.

Today, you can start with your primary dot, give it a name, and make it your own. Over time, we envision teams of dots working together on your behalf. We’re beginning to roll out dots across Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise plans in eligible markets, with plans to expand to more users soon. Dots can work on their own cloud computer, connect to other devices, and are an extension of you, working where you work and keeping you in control with built-in safeguards.
