OpenAI Dots Launch Always-On Agents
OpenAI Dots are persistent ChatGPT agents powered by GPT-6 Astra, each with a cloud computer, browser, connected apps, and memory for ongoing work. They operate in the background, returning results for review and requesting approval before consequential actions.
Dots push ChatGPT beyond conversation toward delegated digital labor, but their real test will be reliability and permission control—not flashy autonomy.
- –Persistent cloud computers let agents continue projects after users close ChatGPT
- –Connections to thousands of apps could make agents a new interface for software workflows
- –Slack and Teams access positions Dots as potential AI coworkers for organizations
- –Approval gates and auto-review are essential as agents gain access to sensitive tools and data
- –Meta’s Muse gives OpenAI a direct competitor in the race for always-on personal agents
