OpenAI Dots Adds Multi-Exec for Local Agents

Multi-exec is the feature that turns Dots from a cloud-based assistant into a hybrid local-and-cloud operator, making persistent state and real developer environments central to the product.

• –Persistent storage, authenticated CLIs, and local skills eliminate repeated setup in ephemeral cloud environments.
• –Direct computer and browser control enables end-to-end workflows such as building and testing iOS apps in Xcode.
• –Shared context lets delegated subagents benefit from the same local skills, memory vaults, and connected tools.
• –The capability also expands the blast radius: logged-in websites, downloads, credentials, and local files should be isolated on a dedicated machine where possible.
• –The connected computer must remain online with the ChatGPT desktop app open, and local access is governed separately from cloud-computer and plugin permissions.
