OpenAI Takes on Meta with Always-on Dots Agent in Enterprise AI Push
The agents can handle tasks across 4,000 apps, while OpenAI says sensitive actions need user approval and business data is not used by default.
- On Tuesday, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman unveiled Dots at DevDay in San Francisco, introducing always-on AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra designed to proactively complete tasks on users' behalf.
- Meta's Muse and other autonomous agents spurred OpenAI's launch, driving an intense industry race to secure market share in the emerging personal-assistant sector.
- Each Dot operates on its own private cloud computer, connects to over 4,000 apps via plugins, and uses 'auto-review' systems requiring explicit user approval for sensitive actions like password changes.
- Access is restricted to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise subscribers with costs ranging from $100 to $500 monthly, while Europe and the United Kingdom remain excluded due to regulatory constraints.
- Altman characterized the technology as a new 'Renaissance' for individual empowerment, though OpenAI continues navigating safety scrutiny after pausing its advanced GPT-6.1 Astra model last week.

OpenAI Launches Dots: Autonomous AI Agents That Work Independently Across 4000+ Apps
OpenAI’s new Dots system replaces chatbots with persistent, autonomous AI agents that remember context, set goals, and independently perform complex multi-step tasks across over 4,000 apps. These always-on digital workers can research, plan, execute, and adapt with minimal supervision, marking a major shift toward practical AI-driven digital labor.
Powered by GPT-6 Astra, new agents can connect to thousands of applications, use their own cloud computer, and continue working even if the user is not facing ChatGPT. The bet seeks to bring artificial intelligence from the conversation model to permanent attendees able to execute complete projects.
