It is rolling out to ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium in target regions, while Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare administrators can enable the beta. Each dot gets a dedicated cloud PC and browser and keeps working after the user ends the conversation, connecting to more than 4,000 apps and running several tasks at once. Meta's Muse and xAI's Grok Bot are similar always-on agents.","whyItMatters":"The three major agent launches now compete on how much authority a user hands to software that keeps working unattended, a risk Meta's Muse has already demonstrated in a reported Marketplace incident.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMeta\u0026#39;s Muse and xAI\u0026#39;s Grok Bot differ from dots in scope and pricing. Muse is the individual-assistant type, with a dedicated Muse Secure VM per user, connections to email and calendars, credentials held in storage Muse cannot read, one-time card numbers for shopping, and approval prompts before sending mail or buying. Paid tiers run $20 and $100 per month, with a free tier.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrok Bot splits work among multiple agents with separate roles, memory, and conversation history on a shared cloud PC, plus a Routines feature that repeats tasks on a schedule. It is included in eligible Cursor and SuperGrok plans.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Dots runs on a dedicated cloud PC and keeps working after the conversation ends, which is the same reach that makes the Enterprise and Edu opt-in a policy question, not a feature toggle.","twitterPost":"Dots keeps running after the chat ends, so the admin opt-in for Enterprise and Edu is a policy call, not a feature toggle.","threadsPost":"Dots keeps working after the conversation ends, on a dedicated cloud PC and browser. That persistence is why the Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare opt-in matters more than the Pro rollout: administrators are deciding how much unattended access to grant, not whether to switch on a feature.","newsletterBlurb":"OpenAI announced dots on September 29, an agent built on GPT-6 Astra that keeps working after the user leaves, with a dedicated cloud PC, a browser, and connections to more than 4,000 apps.
