About
Dots are persistent agents inside ChatGPT. Each dot starts with context from the user's ChatGPT memory, uses Codex and connected tools, and runs on its own cloud computer. The user assigns a responsibility, and the dot works out next steps and keeps progressing between conversations, then brings work and decisions back for review.
OpenAI's examples include refreshing an investor deck from usage and revenue data, checking customer requirements against emails and docs, tracking an API migration, triaging customer feedback into fixes, and drafting clips and show notes for creators. A YouTube creator reported using one for analytics reports (in a sponsored segment).
Users choose which apps a dot can access and set Custom Rules to allow, require approval for, or block actions. Actions affecting accounts or sharing information pass through Auto-review, and some steps, such as changing a password, stay with the user. A dot can be messaged or called in ChatGPT on web, mobile and desktop; texting is listed as coming later.
Access is through ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise plans in "eligible markets". Enterprise use requires enabling by a workspace admin. The pages do not define the eligible markets.

AI News: Dots, GPT-6.1 Sol, Sonnet 5.5, Gemini 4, and everything you need to know
OpenAI's always-on, proactive assistant agent inside ChatGPT with no model selector; it picks the right tools itself. Creator had early access and showed it drafting emails, surfacing Slack/email/flight alerts and building a daily scratchpad. Requires Pro ($100+) or business plans, which he calls a tough sell versus Meta's free Muse.

OpenAI COOKEDMatthew Berman30 Sept 2026
OpenAI's always-on, proactive personal AI assistant inspired by OpenClaw, running in the cloud with its own environment and connecting to Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Slack and Teams. It lives inside the ChatGPT app and controls ChatGPT and Codex threads; chats with Dots don't count toward usage, but controlling threads does. The creator likes the idea but would prefer a standalone app.
