GoKawiilOpenAI adds texting support for Dot agents via iMessage and RCS
OpenAI has rolled out a preview feature letting US Pro subscribers text their Dot agents using iMessage or RCS. Users can send text, photos and voice memos to assign tasks, and Dots can proactively text back with updates. OpenAI says the feature was built with messaging partner Linq and underwent extensive security testing.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The update arrives as personal AI agents become a competitive battleground, following Anthropic's launch of Claude Duet last week. Limiting the feature to Pro users rather than Plus subscribers suggests OpenAI may be positioning Dots as a premium differentiator, though Anthropic has said it plans to extend Duet to its lower-cost Pro tier, which could pressure OpenAI's approach.
