Introducing dots, powered by GPT-6 Astra. Remarkably capable, always-on agents built to handle everything.
Your dot can do simple things like book a table—or take on your most ambitious work with the initiative of a high-agency engineer or chief of staff. It has its own computer and works across 4,000+ apps through ChatGPT, using the plugins you connect. It learns what you need and gets to work before you ask, quietly in the background, 24/7. https://t.co/rbYds2fzIw
You always stay in control. Set boundaries and specify what your dot can do on its own, when it should ask first, and what it should never do. Safety is built in. You choose which apps to connect, and your dot runs on its own cloud computer—so connecting yours is entirely optional. https://t.co/0ZjtBVXMSo
Dots will be available in ChatGPT on web, mobile, and desktop across Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise users in eligible markets. To get started, create your first dot in the ChatGPT desktop app or your desktop browser, connect your apps, and let it introduce itself.
- headless agent — An agent running with no one watching — in CI, on a schedule, or triggered by an event — with its output reviewed after the fact.
- AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
A persistent with its own cloud computer and user-set rules for acting alone, asking first or never acting is a reference design for autonomy. Availability is limited to Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise.
