OpenAI releases always-on online AI agent Dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra and targeting Meta Muse

OpenAI released an always-online AI agent called Dots at DevDay 2026 in San Francisco, powered by its GPT-6 Astra model. It can continuously crawl the web and complete assigned tasks, pull context from connected apps, and gradually learn user preferences. The feature is available today to ChatGPT Pro subscribers at $100 per month, who can talk to it via ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Pro users can also join a waitlist to contact their own Dot via iMessage or Android RCS text. Enterprise customers will get specialist Dots for accounting, email marketing, and legal analysis, which require explicit approval before performing sensitive operations such as installing software or changing passwords, and can enable Custom Rules to set boundaries.
