What are ChatGPT dots?

ChatGPT Dots are described as OpenAI’s always-on AI agents, operating through dedicated cloud computers with browser, computer-use, and app-integration capabilities that allow them to monitor connected services such as email, calendars, Slack, and thousands of Zapier-supported apps while users are offline. Powered by GPT-6 Astra, Dots can perform routine administrative work, flag notifications, update schedules, troubleshoot technical problems, manage reservations, analyze documents, and request approval before many consequential actions, although testing found they could sometimes act with more autonomy than expected. A user’s trial showed useful proactive behavior, including identifying payment and scheduling issues, validating a suspicious email, helping with a grant application, and resolving a broadband login problem, but also found that the agent missed some higher-priority messages requiring contextual judgment. The account emphasizes that broad access to personal data, email authentication codes, and internet-connected tools creates significant privacy, security, and prompt-injection risks, while personal accounts may allow OpenAI to use data for model training unless users opt out. Dots are initially available to certain ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium, Enterprise, and Education users, with OpenAI reportedly planning future multi-agent teams and specialized business applications.
