GoKawiilOpenAI launches always-on 'Dots' AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra
OpenAI unveiled Dots at DevDay 2026, always-on personal AI agents that keep working in the background after a chat ends. Each Dot runs on GPT-6 Astra with its own cloud computer and browser, connects to over 4,000 apps, and can be reached consistently through ChatGPT, Slack, or Microsoft Teams, with texting support coming soon. The feature is rolling out gradually to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise subscribers in select markets.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Persistent, cross-app agents mark a shift from reactive chatbots to proactive assistants that monitor tasks and act without prompting, which could deepen how deeply AI is woven into daily workflows. The launch lands just weeks after Meta's Muse, suggesting the two companies are racing to define what always-on AI agents look like for consumers and businesses. Broader autonomy also raises questions about oversight and trust, since these agents can take actions like placing orders or editing documents on a user's behalf.
- OpenAI's Dots are always-on agents built on GPT-6 Astra that persist across sessions and apps.
- They connect to Slack, Microsoft Teams, and over 4,000 apps, with texting support planned.
- Rollout is gradual, currently limited to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise users in select markets.
