Introducing dots

OpenAI announces "dots", persistent always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. Each dot has its own cloud computer and browser, connects to 4,000+ apps through plugins, and learns from feedback. Users reach a dot through ChatGPT, Slack or Teams, and it carries context across channels. The post covers the safety design: read-only background "proactive research", Custom Rules, auto-review of consequential actions, Activity View, monitoring that can pause work, and credentials hidden from the model. It also previews enterprise "specialist dots" with their own identity and access, planned for integration with Microsoft Agent 365. Rollout is to Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise plans.
