OpenAI launches 'dots' for persistent AI agents
OpenAI is shifting ChatGPT from a reactive chatbot to an always-on agent with the launch of Dots. This feature allows users to assign long-term goals that persist across sessions, enabling the AI to autonomously monitor connected apps like Google Drive and email. Unlike standard prompts, Dots can take initiative and message users when specific conditions are met or tasks require attention. This marks a significant step toward autonomous workflow automation within the mainstream consumer interface.

Wabi pivots from app maker to dynamic AI messenger
Wabi is abandoning its static vibe-coding roots to become a conversational agent that generates interfaces on the fly. Founder Eugenia Kuyda argues that endless chat scrolls are inefficient, proposing an agent that builds temporary UIs—like calorie trackers or family calendars—only when needed. This positions Wabi directly against OpenAI’s plugin ecosystem and Meta’s Muse, betting that the future of personal AI lies in combining persistent conversation with ephemeral, task-specific software. It is a bold attempt to solve the 'app fatigue' problem by making apps transient rather than permanent.

OpenAI Launches Always-On 'Dots' Agents
OpenAI is shifting from reactive chat to proactive automation with Dots, always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that crawl the web and execute multi-step tasks. The feature targets ChatGPT Pro subscribers at $100/month, offering a distinct contrast to Meta’s Muse by embedding deeply into Slack, Teams, and iMessage while enforcing explicit approval gates for sensitive actions. This move signals OpenAI's aggressive push into enterprise workflows with specialized agents for legal and accounting tasks, effectively turning the subscription model into an autonomous assistant layer rather than just a text interface.
