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.
