Why it matters
- →Dots represent a shift from reactive chatbots to proactive, always-on autonomous agents.
- →The $100/month Pro tier requirement positions this as a premium productivity tool rather than a free utility.
- →Integration with Slack and Teams signals a direct challenge to Meta's Muse in the enterprise agent market.
OpenAI announced 'Dots,' always-on AI agents powered by the GPT-6 Astra model, at its DevDay 2026 event. These agents operate continuously to complete multi-step tasks, pulling context from connected apps like Slack and Microsoft Teams. The feature is initially available to ChatGPT Pro subscribers for $100 per month, with plans to expand access later. OpenAI also introduced 'specialist Dots' for enterprise customers focused on specific professional workflows such as accounting and legal analysis.
