Overview
- OpenAI unveiled Dots at its DevDay keynote on Tuesday and began rolling them out to ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise beta users with one Dot included in eligible plans.
- Each Dot runs on GPT‑6 Astra in its own isolated cloud computer with a virtual browser and can connect to more than 4,000 apps through plugins to work on multi-step projects continuously.
- When idle a Dot performs read-only proactive research across connected tools, and any action that could change accounts or data is subject to user-set custom rules and an automated 'auto-review' approval step.
- OpenAI previewed specialist Dots for organizations that can be provisioned with identities, credentials, and system access and said it is testing enterprise pilots and integration with Microsoft’s Agent 365 governance controls.
- The launch positions OpenAI directly against Meta’s Muse as part of a broader push to replace parts of the productivity stack, but wider availability, pricing, multi-agent scaling, and enterprise rollouts remain to be defined.
