OpenAI responds to Meta’s lively Muse AI with its own agent assistants: Dots. During its DevDay keynote on Tuesday, OpenAI announced that Dots will serve as always-on AI assistants that can “do almost anything” on connected apps in the background while learning your preferences over time.
The company’s high-performance GPT-6 Astra model powers Dots, which uses its own cloud computer to access a web browser and more than 4,000 supported applications. You can interact with a Dot through a text message-style interface similar to that offered by Muse, as well as place a voice call with it from ChatGPT on web, desktop, or mobile. Points can also connect to Microsoft Teams and Slack, where they will carry over the context of your sessions across other apps and devices. He will soon be able to talk to you via text as well.
For now, you can only create one Dot, although OpenAI plans to allow users to deploy multiple agents at once. Once you give your Dot a task, it will send you messages with updates and questions while it is working. As an example, OpenAI says a developer working on an app could ask their Dot to use customer feedback to create and test updates, while showing them a video showing their changes. Meanwhile, a content creator might ask their Dot to review an interview transcript, find moments to cut, create show notes, and write social media posts.
You can track your Dot’s progress by accessing its cloud computer. Points also learn as they work, allowing them to personalize their output and suggest other tasks to complete “before they even think to ask,” according to OpenAI. You and your colleagues can also work with your Dot in ChatGPT Space, a new collaborative workspace in the app.
OpenAI says Dots comes with “built-in rules for when to act independently,” but you can set custom rules that block certain actions or dictate when it should ask permission. Points also have an “auto-review” feature, which OpenAI says it uses to check whether an action complies with custom rules and security requirements. This also allows Dots to determine which tasks to assign to users, such as changing a password.
Starting today, OpenAI is rolling out Dots to ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise users. OpenAI is also testing a feature that allows companies to create “specialized” Dots to manage specific roles within organizations. OpenAI notes that conversations with your Dot will not count against ChatGPT usage limits. “In the future, you can add more points and increase the output of each point by increasing its speed or the total amount of work it can do per month,” OpenAI explains.
