OpenAI launches resident personal AI agent Dots, with Meta Muse competing in the same period
The Battle to Be Your Personal AI Agent Is Here
At its annual DevDay, OpenAI released an always-on AI agent called Dots, powered by the GPT-6 Astra model, which can proactively complete tasks and autonomously decide to browse the web. It is currently only available to Pro subscribers paying at least $100 per month, with future plans to bring it to the mass market. A reporter tested it, naming it Toolie, and had it search ChatGPT history and mark three to-do items, while also comparing it to Meta Muse, which they had used previously—the latter is free for anyone who downloads the app or visits the website. Both companies use cute appearances as one of their strategies to attract users, and experts say this design may lead users to develop emotional attachment to anthropomorphized software.
