OpenAI has unveiled always-on AI agents called "Dots" that can proactively assist users in various tasks like research, document drafting, software writing, and more. These Dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra, will be available to paid users starting Tuesday, according to Bloomberg. Initially, each user will have access to a single Dot, which can later be managed by multiple users.
Dots are designed to be "frontier intelligence" that aids users 24/7 and can connect to over 4,000 apps through the company's ecosystem of plugins. Users can interact with their Dots through ChatGPT, Slack, Teams, or voice calls, and the more they work together, the more Dots learn about users' preferences and working styles. OpenAI claims that Dots can sometimes even complete tasks before users explicitly ask for them, making ambitious projects more achievable.
