Artificial Intelligence: OpenAI Introduces Everyday AI Assistant - "Dots" is Supposed to Operate Computers on Command
OpenAI is once again hosting its developer conference in San Francisco. However, new developments from the AI company are being overshadowed by the debate over security risks and competition from rivals.
San Francisco and Munich - OpenAI introduced a constantly active AI agent named "Dots," which is designed to independently handle tasks for users. This move puts the company in competition with rivals such as Meta Platforms in the growing market of AI-powered digital assistants. The service, announced at the OpenAI Developer Day, can control computers and gather information from linked applications to research, design documents, and develop software.
Users can control the agent through messages or calls in ChatGPT or by writing to it via Slack or Microsoft Teams. Future updates will include SMS control. OpenAI engineers have already integrated the virtual assistant to fix software bugs daily. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman unveiled the new tool at the company's developer conference, alongside an updated version of the Sol model and a shared workspace for AI collaboration.
Simultaneously, OpenAI revamped its subscription model: a new premium plan at $500 (510€ in Germany) per month offers higher usage limits and faster processing, while certain usage caps in the $200 plan are reduced.
