OpenAI’s Latest Personal AI Agents Have a Cute Name and Never Stop Working
OpenAI rolls out new agents called dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra, at its annual DevDay.
OpenAI has unveiled its latest innovation, a new line of personal AI agents known as "dots." These agents, powered by GPT-6 Astra AI model, are always-on and designed to handle any task autonomously. They can connect to over 4,000 apps and integrate with platforms like ChatGPT, Slack, or Teams to manage work assignments. Users can access dots in the ChatGPT app across desktop, web, and mobile devices.
The development team, led by former OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger, emphasizes that dots learn from user interactions over time. This continuous learning allows dots to tailor their responses to your preferences and thinking style, improving their effectiveness the more you collaborate with them. Safety is a priority, with dots equipped with built-in safeguards such as read-only permissions, a monitoring system for detecting safety concerns, and controls over the apps they can access.
OpenAI plans to roll out dots to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise plans, starting with eligible markets. Users with eligible plans can begin using dots today through their ChatGPT desktop app or web browser. The process involves creating and naming your first dot, after which you can start connecting it to your preferred apps and plugins. The agents are expected to expand to more users soon.
