OpenAI has introduced 'Dots,' a new feature in ChatGPT designed to function as persistent AI agents. Users can assign specific responsibilities to a Dot, which then operates continuously in the background, monitoring connected tools such as Google Drive, email, and calendars. The system is capable of taking independent actions, checking for updates, and proactively messaging users when attention is required. This update distinguishes itself from standard ChatGPT interactions by focusing on long-term goal execution rather than single-turn queries.
