OpenAI rushes out 'always-on' AI agents to match rivals like Anthropic
OpenAI engineers reportedly built and shipped new AI agent products, internally called 'Dots,' within weeks after observing competitors' similar tools such as Instinct and Muse. WIRED staff discussed the launch during a Developer Day event, noting the agents are designed with cute, friendly interfaces that proactively suggest actions based on user data rather than requiring users to type open-ended prompts.
