OpenAI unveiled always-on Dots agents powered by GPT-6 Astra at DevDay 2026. They roll out to Pro and Business Premium users, use their own cloud computer, and Custom Rules control when a dot must ask before acting.
Removed claims that are not on OpenAI’s Dots page: a $100/month Pro plan, an iMessage/RCS waitlist, and a Grubhub dinner demo. Rollout is to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise; the first dot is included; ChatGPT, Slack, and Teams, with texting coming soon; Custom Rules and auto-review.
Dots operate independently across apps and interfaces.
Dots seek permission before installing software or changing passwords.
