OpenAI has announced a new AI agent called 'Dots' designed to run continuously rather than only responding to individual prompts. Details on its specific capabilities and release timeline remain limited based on available reporting.
OpenAI unveiled 'dots,' persistent AI agents powered by its GPT-6 Astra model that can connect to over 4,000 apps and integrate with ChatGPT, Slack or Teams to handle tasks. Users can start with one dot and build teams of dots working together, accessible via ChatGPT on desktop, web and mobile. The feature is rolling out first to Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise plans in select markets.
OpenAI introduced Dots at its Dev Day event, a new personal agent system built on GPT-6 Astra that runs continuously in the background to pursue user-defined goals with minimal supervision. Available starting Tuesday to ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium subscribers in select markets, Dots can be launched from Codex or ChatGPT and messaged via Slack or Teams, with text support planned. OpenAI is also working with Microsoft to integrate Dots into Agent 365 security controls.
At its annual developer conference, OpenAI unveiled 'Dots,' cartoon-mascot AI agents powered by its GPT-6 Astra model, now available to Pro, Business Premium and enterprise subscribers. The company also released GPT-6.1 Sol, a cheaper model it claims matches Astra's intelligence at a fifth of the cost, alongside an 'ultrafast' mode for quicker responses in ChatGPT Work and Codex, and a new collaborative document tool called ChatGPT Space.
OpenAI unveiled Dots, proactive AI agents that run continuously and complete tasks with minimal supervision, at its DevDay event in San Francisco. Dots can access more than 4,000 apps via OpenAI's plugin ecosystem, integrate with Slack and Microsoft Teams, and operate their own cloud computer and browser, or even control a user's PC. Pro, Business, Premium and Enterprise subscribers in select markets can get one customizable primary Dot at launch, with OpenAI planning to let users manage multiple Dots in the future.
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Spaces, a shared workspace where colleagues, ChatGPT and new AI agents called Dots can access common files and generated content. The company also unveiled a meeting-notes plugin, Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations, and document tools called Pages, alongside a data-protection system called Private Intelligence.
OpenAI unveiled Dots at its DevDay 2026 event in San Francisco, introducing persistent AI agents that run on the company's GPT-6 Astra model. The agents continuously monitor connected apps and the web to handle multi-step tasks like ordering food or building websites, and can be reached via ChatGPT, Slack, Microsoft Teams, with iMessage and RCS access coming to Pro users on a waitlist. Dots is rolling out first to ChatGPT Pro subscribers paying $100 a month, initially limited to controlling one agent at a time.
OpenAI introduced Dots at its DevDay keynote as always-on AI agents that can operate across a connected web browser and more than 4,000 apps, including Microsoft Teams and Slack. Users interact with a Dot via text or voice, and it carries context across sessions, messaging updates and questions as it completes tasks like building app features or producing content from interviews. Currently limited to one Dot per user, OpenAI plans to allow multiple simultaneous agents and text-message access, plus a shared workspace called ChatGPT Space.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a widespread class of compact, reddish objects dating to the universe's first billion years, dubbed 'little red dots.' Researchers say these objects have puzzled the field since their discovery, and new analysis is now offering possible explanations for what they are.
Researchers have built a biodegradable battery using magnesium and molybdenum trioxide electrodes with an edible ionic-liquid electrolyte, designed to power ingestible medical devices. The battery, described in Nature Chemical Engineering, has been tested successfully in pigs and breaks down into absorbable materials after use.
A new Nature study led by Max Planck Institute astrophysicist Sunmyon Chon simulated conditions in the early universe and found that rapidly forming black holes can generate light signatures matching the mysterious 'little red dots' seen by the James Webb Space Telescope. The team argues these objects quickly develop dense, thick gas disks that produce a strong hydrogen-alpha glow resembling what's observed in these ancient regions of space.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope had largely concluded that mysterious compact objects called 'little red dots' were supermassive black holes obscured by dust. But two newly analyzed dots studied by teams led by de Graaff and Naidu show a distinctive Balmer break—a spectral signature usually associated with hot stellar surfaces—that standard black hole models don't produce, complicating the picture.
