OpenAI just launched its answer to Meta: 'always-on' AI agents called Dots
At DevDay, OpenAI debuts Dots, which run on GPT-6 Astra. The new agent competes with Meta's Muse in the personal AI race.
OpenAI unveiled its new always-on AI agent product, Dots, at its DevDay conference, positioning it as a competitor to Meta's Muse in the industry's push towards personal agents. The new offering, built on OpenAI's frontier model GPT-6 Astra, aims to run continuously in the background, assisting users with tasks and decision-making. CEO Sam Altman expressed his surprise at how much Dots has improved his own experience with AI, stating that it has helped him regain control over his phone usage.
Dots will be available for Enterprise and Business Premium users, as well as ChatGPT Pro subscribers initially, before potentially expanding to a wider user base. However, the trade-off for the enhanced functionality comes with the requirement of granting Dots more access to the user's devices, apps, and messaging platforms.
Alongside Dots, OpenAI announced several other products and services, including ChatGPT Space, a new collaborative feature on the app; a $500-a-month Pro plan with access to the company's fastest modes; an OpenAI Marketplace for customers to direct their committed OpenAI spend toward partner companies; and a new AI model, GPT-6.1 Sol.
These announcements highlight OpenAI's aggressive strategy to maintain its position in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, even as it faces competition from established tech giants like Google and Apple.
