ChatGPT Dots Keep Agents Working

ChatGPT Dots are persistent agents with dedicated cloud computers, connected apps, memory, scheduled tasks, and proactive background research. Powered by GPT-6 Astra, they let users delegate ongoing responsibilities and review completed work.

// ANALYSIS

Dots push ChatGPT from responsive chatbot toward persistent digital coworker, but their usefulness will depend on permission controls and reliability over long-running tasks.

–Dedicated cloud computers let Dots continue working after users close ChatGPT
–Memory and connected apps enable ongoing, context-rich responsibilities
–Scheduled tasks and proactive research create a practical automation layer for recurring work
–Read-only limits during proactive research reduce risk, while consequential actions still require careful oversight
–Limited rollout to Pro and Business Premium users signals a cautious test of always-on agents
